@demgovs.org Could we NOT treat Mr. Kirk as some sort of fallen hero? He was a hate-monger who grew rich off attacking liberals, women, and minorities and shilling for Trump.
Flags at half mast for him is an insult to all of us.

mRNA vaccines are, without exaggeration, one of the greatest inventions in human history.
We basically hacked our immune systems. “Here’s the secret code for this new virus, prep to fight exactly that.” A promising avenue for addressing some cancers too.
And the US is throwing it away. For what?

We have to. Sooner rather than later.
Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good.
I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

A lot of the worst things in the big stupid bill won't happen until after the midterms, on purpose. We have until then to redouble and triple down on our efforts to 1. hang this around the heads of every Trumpian Congressmember & 2. build structures to help each other survive it all.

If you were following along with the budget bill hearing early this morning, the Democrats were correct. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office confirms: The GOP budget would increase the deficit by $2.3 trillion in a decade, help the rich & lower the income of the lowest 10%.
1/ Tonight at 1am ET/12pm CT/10pm PT, cowardly Republics go into a middle-of-the-night session to take up Trump's "Big, Beautiful" budget (also, ironically called the skinny budget) in hopes no one will pay attention. I'm up, making popcorn, & will let you know if anything interesting happens.

The Republican budget guts the authority of federal judges to enforce contempt findings against government officials, including those in the Trump administration.
Republicans are aiding and abetting Trump’s illegal actions by destroying checks and balances.

Another reprehensible SCOTUS ruling from pure bigotry towards trans people who are bravely and honorably serving our country.
Thankfully this is unlikely to be the last word on it because of multiple lawsuits,
but shameful nonetheless.

In an absolutely devastating ruling, the Supreme Court has allowed the transgender military ban to go into effect.
This is shocking - the ban explicitly called transgender people dishonorable for being transgender. It is as clear as day soaked in animus.
