This isn’t just a bad bill—it’s a war on working families. We’re saying HELL NO.
The budget bill that the Senate is considering would be a nightmare for working families.
It would throw 16 MILLION people off their health care, likely close 338 hospitals and cut SNAP food assistance for 2 million kids.

A state database of corporations receiving tax rebates won't be publicly available after June 30 -- so we fixed that. @friedmanadam5.bsky.social and @cstephenson.bsky.social compiled the data and the list of nearly 60,000 businesses is available on our website.
Lawmakers are attempting to hide who’s receiving $1.5B in tax refunds. We won’t let them • Tennessee Lookout
On June 30, the names of businesses that received over $1.5 billion in tax refunds -- like FedEx -- will disappear from Tennessee's website.

An American citizen and Los Angeles native, @seiucalifornia @seiuusww President David Huerta was injured and detained when ICE terrorized a working neighborhood. We demand his immediate release!
Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing.
ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him.

One of the *key* ways to combat #authoritarianism is to push back on the narrative of the powerful autocrat. Trump's catastrophic implementation and then immediate retreat on tariffs makes clear that he is NOT invincible and NOT powerful. He is weak and we should treat him as such.
