#HappyIndependenceDay to you all!

Many Republicans are just finding out, thanks to Hakeem Jeffries, that the Declaration of Independence reads like an indictment & are outraged by it.

The slickest, most cynical trick in this GOP bill is time-delaying the Medicaid/SNAP cuts to January 2027, so when they hit Dems may well hold the House and it will be easy for Republicans to blame them. And with no cuts for the next 18 months, people will forget what happened today.

BREAKING: Weldon's nomination for CDC director has been withdrawn! Per AP he didn't have the votes. Excellent! In the mean time, this gives CDC the opportunity to continue to helplessly "misunderstand" orders, re-request written clarifications, etc. Ahem leadership. 👀

GOOD NEWS: The White House has withdrawn the nomination of Dave Weldon to be the director of the CDC.

Weldon has opposed vaccines throughout his political career.

Thank you to everyone who called their Senators. Advocacy works!

📌NOTE: Immediately after the vile attack on Zelensky by Putin's puppets Friday, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries should have called a joint press conference and explained to the American public the significance, heinousness and danger of that sickening surrender.

📌They should STILL be talking now.

"We must stop the exodus of people tuning out the political process altogether. Faced with the threats ahead, people want to look away. You can see it in the words used and the excuses they make.”
Each time I have sat down to write something since the election, I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I simply cannot get out of my head.

So,I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

I finally gave in and watched the whole exchange, and sadly I recommend it if you want to understand what happened.

The transcript below does not convey how much Trump and Vance constantly talked and shouted over Zelensky. And Trump’s… segue into other topics at the end should be heard.

I keep hearing people say they could never go after our Social Security. They ARE telling us that they are and they ARE going to come after it. I believe them and EVERYONE should.

“Peace” is a code word for “surrender to Putin.” It always always always has been.

It was a code word in the 2016 campaign when Paul Manafort was talking about peace plans for Ukraine.

This plan has been in our faces for a fucking decade and still hack Beltway journalists don’t get it.
Pretty amazing to read news accounts implying that Trump's claim that he wants to "determine" if Zelensky is serious about peace before resuming aid to Ukraine is an actual intention on his part.

Justin Trudeau gave the exact kind of press conference today that we have been waiting for from our Democratic leaders. Watch it and learn from it. No gimmicks, no stunts, no script, no platitudes, no slogans, no games. Just straight talk, honesty, sincerity and facts.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

What's it gonna take for everyone to realize the occupant of the white house is fundamentally anti-American?
Trump thinks anyone protesting must be from another country when the right and will to protest our own government is a foundational American value.

This reality show premise of finding the dumbest MFer in the country and making him president isn’t going well. Season 1 sucked. Season 2 is much worse.
