ICE is using Uber stickers in order to disguise themselves and kidnap people. Spread this for awareness!

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.”
The result was “institutionalized hunger.”

Our new health insurance premium feels more like a shakedown‼️
Thank you, @politicsgirl.bsky.social , for sharing your story. You’re right—there are millions like you.
Our new premium is over $3K/month for a family of three. Could we scrape it together? Maybe. Should we have to? No.

The East Wing was first added in 1942, under Franklin D. Roosevelt, primarily to provide office space for the First Lady’s staff and to conceal a newly built underground bunker known as the Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC) during World War II.

Only 40 days have passed since Democratic lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were tragically killed by an unhinged Trump supporter, yet this story has largely faded from national awareness. We must not allow that to happen.

Why stop there? Let’s rename all Depts after what Trump is inflicting on America.
Dept of HHS -> Dept of Hepatitis and Human Suffering
Dept of VA -> Dept of Veteran Abandonment
Dept of Education -> Dept of Erasure of History
Dept of Commerce -> Dept of Corruption
Just a start.

Trump seeks to rename Department of Defense to Department of War
The Trump administration has focused on restoring a "warrior ethos" to the Armed Services.

Several anti-ICE protestors on the Ohio-Kentucky border.
This is how the police dealt with them.
Literally beat the hell out of them.
This is Trump's police state America, coming to a protest near you.

Our national parks generated $56 billion in visitor spending and supported 415,000 jobs in 2023.
The entire National Park Service budget was just $3.6 billion.
That’s some return on investment — so why is Donald Trump taking an axe to our parks?

If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them:
—Gun laws in other countries have prevented mass shootings
—More guns don't make us safer
—A majority of Americans want gun reform
We don't have to live like this.

DC *is* being run poorly... by *Congress* 🙄 Congress gutted DC's budget so that Trump could say the city was in trouble and invade it. We've seen this Trump regime playbook before: break it, and then say it's broken.

Everyone’s been stressed about tariffs now the courts have spoken. A panel of federal judges just blocked Trump from imposing some of his steepest tariffs on China and other trading partners, ruling that he far exceeded his authority under federal law. In short, Trump’s tariffs were ruled illegal.

Really? Congress votes on bills without even reading them? Our coalition read and broke it down. Rep. Mike Flood (R-NE) admitted he voted for Trump’s sweeping domestic policy bill without realizing it weakened federal judges’ power to hold officials in contempt.

Update: reports today that multiple legal observers were arrested today in New York at two separate immigration courts, for allegedly “obstructing” ICE.
Not only that, apparently some immigration courts are barring the public from attending hearings.
This mess is escalating fast.

Immigration court arrests continued across the nation yesterday (and are likely ongoing today).
Yesterday, in NYC, 30 ICE officers swarmed the immigration court, holding lists of names of people to arrest. All were dutifully attending their immigration hearings and many had pending asylum claims.
