The Democratic Party will not come back from the fall of betrayal if they capitulate in the least. Majority party owns this - they have opportunity to demonstrate representational duty to We the People & uphold their oath.🇺🇸 @kenmartin.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

By the way if Trump sabotages his own govt during a shutdown well, that’s his choice and he owns it.

The U.S. military’s openness to the press was never a favor to journalists, but an obligation to a country that asks its sons and daughters to volunteer for service. The Defense Department's new policy puts that in jeopardy, Nancy A. Youssef writes.

This is the behavior of a thug drunk on false power & sense of control not found in their own lives, fed by evil forces who tap into it to demonize & harm others. Not what upstanding LE officers stands for. This behavior must be quashed, not normalized along with all other evil forces in play.

In previous shutdown negotiations, right-wing Republicans have threatened to allow the government to shut down.

Said the guy who now threatens (extorts?) media companies if they don’t cancel programs and people who speak truth to unchecked power.

Just a small sampling of ANTIFA pics. Sad that so few from WWII are still alive to school us on the importance of being anti-fascist. 🇺🇸

This

Newsmax asked me why the “left” is saying ICE disappears people

…and still has his job. Double standard?

This is what happens when we allow “othering” of people who are different from us. This is what happens in an “us versus them” society. When you see folks pedaling division; you can decline. Try hard NOT to be a hypocrite.

Disturbing.

This is unconstitutional. This is kidnapping. This is criminal. This is wrong. 🇺🇸

Local voters & constituents visit Congressman Tom Emmer’s in Chaska (MN CD 06) office to deliver a message - and a retirement cake. #EmmerDoBetter 🇺🇸

Not to mention Tate, Gaetz etc

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons. Watch and share his message.

Neguse: Only in Washington, D.C. could politicians come to the floor and brag about cutting $9 billion from rural radio stations while two weeks ago they voted to increase the deficit by $4 trillion. Spare us these lectures.

The story about Colbert being cancelled because…. Trump doesn’t like him, should be a warning shot to everyone. The oligarchy has the power… they will use their money to silence you. Time to rise up.

Appropriate response to assassin’s attempt to change the story with delusional lies.

Bad idea. But let’s see how many Catholic churches follow their hierarchy. They’re not a democracy - so what will the Pope advise? Hopefully that they stay out of partisan endorsements & remind us of the importance of religious freedom.

Hotline callers were saying, “I do not want to be part of pointing a gun at US citizens and maybe shooting it.”

How ironic that it's the release of the Epstein files and client list that has become the one thing upon which both left and right factions in America seem to agree. Release the files! Release the lists! Let the chips fall where they may.

Cruel and unusual is against the Constitution; and it’s also becoming the norm under this regime. Unconscionable 🇺🇸

POLLS: Most Americans oppose the so-called "Big Beautiful Bill,” but GOP leaders are ramming it through anyway This upward redistribution of wealth betrays voters & our democratic principles Democracy means listening to the people, not silencing them. www.democracydefendersfund.org/prs/07.1.25-pr

This is what it looks like for good people to do wrong.

Nobody wants measles in their community. Who benefits when proven preventions are falsely denigrated? Who profits from pseudoscience? Affordable & accessible vaccines benefit all humans who interact with others. #TruthBrigade

I want control over my family’s health -- but everywhere I look, I see suspicious “research” trying to scare me or sell me something. Enough! I don’t trust anyone who claims miracles. Give me scholarship and verified healthcare—not hype. #TruthBrigade

Fact: 8 in 10 Minnesotans don't want the government to cut Medicaid. Source: May 2025 poll conducted by @shadac.bsky.social and Minnesota Department of Health More info: www.health.state.mn.us/news/pressre...

The Senate parliamentarian ruled that the Medicaid changes violate a procedural rule associated with the fast-tracked legislative process Republicans are attempting.

Yikes

We will not get over it. These are real lives we’re talking about. Not pawns in a game, Mitch.

Good news: Newark Mayor @rasjbaraka.bsky.social's guaranteed income pilot program boosted financial resilience, housing and food security, mental health, and quality parent-child time.

"Iran’s predicament is a cautionary tale about what happens when loyalty to a ruling ideology—rather than capability—determines who runs a society," Yair Rosenberg writes. Here's where America should take note:

Yes!

In other words, withholding information from the legislative branch to prevent checks and balances of the executive branch? Sounds unconstitutional. Definitely shady. Truth matters.

🙏🏻

We the People

Chilling and important history lesson. We cannot ignore the parallels. #StopTheCoup

Prayers to all & gratitude to the remarkable foresight of officers at the scene at Hoffmans to check on Horsmans, while it didn’t save the lives of Melissa & Mark, it interrupted the perp from carrying out the hit list found in the SUV with police lights still on.
