Trump supports a right wing coup plotter, so now you'll have to pay more for beef and coffee.
Breaking News: President Trump said he planned a 50% tariff against Brazil, citing what he called a “witch hunt” by the Brazilian authorities against former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is facing trial for attempting a coup.

Certainly wouldn’t want to make this more hospitable than El Salvador
Giant bugs, massive temperature swings, and no access to bathroom facilities are just some of the inhumane conditions detailed in the first reports from detainees at Alligator Alcatraz, the Trump administration’s premier wetland concentration camp.

Dismantling these departments that warn us about the weather is in Project 2025, and the core reason is they say these departments (RIGHTLY) drive “climate chang alarmism”, which “is harmful to future prosperity” (aka BIG OIL PROFITS)

Remember when Joni Ernst said we’re “all going to die” anyways?

She’s up for reelection.

Let’s make sure Iowans remember her statements and her votes at the polls.

How do we really feel Pete?
Today proves that Republicans were serious about one promise: to cut taxes for the wealthy. All the rest was bullshit.

Some people are working on gathering at the Capitol steps to show support for Representative Hakeem Jeffries of New York. If you can’t be there in person, you can still show your support from wherever you are.

Are we ever going to get beyond this administration?
🚨BOMBSHELL: Rep. John Garamendi just EXPOSED that Trump will get $1 MILLION in his pocket if this bill passes: “Trump alone earned almost $50M last year in crypto…that’s a million dollar tax break for him.” The corruption is OFF THE CHARTS.

Finally see the guy who’s been missing this year
Not one single Democrat will vote for the “big beautiful bill.”

I’m here to vote on these amendments and keep the ball rolling.

I’m a HARD NO on the final bill and won’t support cutting Medicaid, SNAP or adding up to $5T to our national debt.

Medicaid cuts.

SNAP cuts.

No AI regulation on the state level.

That’s what’s in this disastrous budget bill. Call your Senators and tell them to vote NO.

🚨🚨🚨 Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” funds LETHAL AI-powered drones that can make KILL DECISIONS. The bill does NOT specifically protect Americans from being targeted.

Why is anyone supporting this bill?
June 28, 2025 at 4:02 PM
Start making those calls folks
@schumer.senate.gov must lead a vote-a-Rama for the record books to delay the devastating BBB. Dems can also read all 1K pages of the bill *out loud* to delay this nightmare. It may pass, but it shouldn’t pass WITHOUT A FIGHT, Chuck!
