Civil society has to hold together and pull forward until the Democratic Party changes. It makes no sense to wait for the Democrats as a party. What makes sense is shifting the ground underneath them.

AOC: We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind. It's not about Progressive. It's not moderate, it's not liberal. This is about do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And the assignment is you come together…

Mamdani:
“We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves…

So, Donald Trump, since I know you’re watching, I have 4 words for you: turn the volume up.”

*Crowd roars*

Tons of my colleagues at @americanprogress.bsky.social undertook the Herculean task of creating a timeline for when various parts of the "big beautiful bill" begin and when various temporary provisions end. You can read it here: www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

Do you have Medicaid? Medicare? Employer-sponsored coverage?

Under Trump's Big Ugly bill, it hardly matters what insurance you’re on when you don’t have a hospital to get care anymore!

And when 17 million Americans lose health care, premiums skyrocket for EVERYONE.

Republicans began this process insisting that they weren’t cutting Medicaid. “We’re just telling Energy and Commerce to find savings, but it won’t be Medicaid.”

And now they’re about to pass the biggest Medicaid cut in history, at least four times the size of the current largest cut in history.

TX Rep. @jamestalarico.bsky.social (grandson of a Baptist preacher): “What would Jesus do? — as Christians we are called to do more than charity, we are called to challenge systems that make charity necessary.”
