Raskin: In any event, if he really cared about public safety in DC… he would not have pardoned 1600 insurrectionists and violent cop beaters on his first day in office. 

For the idiots who said the orange felon would never be allowed to become a Dictator in the US, take a look at him literally seizing total control of Washington DC despite no legitimate reason other than to consolidate power and militarize the area he’s in just because he can.

MSNBC fact checking in real time 👍

What if the rise of Hitler wasn't a uniquely awful event, as we used to think it was, and instead was the kind of societal infection that would show up in a highly civilized country every 90 years or so.

Zohran Mamdani won NYC’s Dem mayoral primary with more total votes than any nominee in history. He won the nod with a dramatically boosted vote from young people AND a diverse coalition that drew frustrated voters back to the Dems. He’s not a problem for Dems. He’s an answer to their problems.

Welcome to the resistance

FUCK!!!!!!!!

🚨NEW: When ICE raided a Californian farm yesterday, they snatched & disappeared a disabled US veteran who was in his car. They smashed his window, peppered sprayed him & dragged him to the floor. Listen to his wife & sister here, distraught. No-one will tell them where he is. (🎥 ABC 7 News)

Senator @campbell4tn.bsky.social is correct. Senator @MarshaBlackburn is lying. Never has cutting $1 Trillion from a program “strengthened” it. She thinks we are all idiots. People will lose coverage. Hospitals will close. All for a tax cut for herself and her donors.

@aoc.bsky.social had some important questions for the Secretary of Health and Human Services—yes, Secretary Kennedy, MedPac has estimated that insurance companies like UnitedHealth Care are being overpaid by $80 Billion (with a B!) every year! It’s time to #ReclaimMedicare!

Congress has an opportunity to cut overpayments to Medicare Advantage insurance corporations by over $1 trillion over the next 10 years. Instead, they are cutting $500 billion in Medicare payments to hospitals and over $1 trillion to medicaid patients. contrarian.substack.com/p/you-though...

Retired workers, and all people, deserve the highest quality healthcare, and Medicare Advantage isn’t it. But, unions are in a difficult position at the bargaining table, and negotiators don’t always have all the facts. Read this Op-ed about our recent webinar (youtu.be/tqq6d-jBc0s) to learn more:

Both sides news coverage is killing democracy and there is no place where it is more dangerous that in how legacy media covers the GOP attacks on free and fair elections. For my latest and to access all Democracy Docket premium content, sign-up now. newsletters.democracydocket.com/member-meblu...

The Social Security Administration sent out a brazenly deceptive email to the public, undermining Americans' confidence in the agency.

We're putting affordability for working families at the top of our agenda — that starts with lowering the cost of prescription drugs. We're also putting a stop to PBMs gaming the system and offering direct support to small independent pharmacies.

I've known and admired J.B. Pritzker for years. He is a true warrior for democracy. I think you will enjoy watching this conversation as much as I did recording it. youtu.be/wwxFVHCTvAA

horrible. this is heart-breaking and infuriating.

State Senator @jeffyarbro.bsky.social in Nashville:

He had “never heard” it as antisemitic lol ok 🤷🏼‍♂️ So now Trump will draw the ire of the media and field Q’s about his actual antisemitism for months, right? The double standard is wild. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Exactly. NYT knowingly sanitized their description of this white supremacist, normalizing and amplyfying his disgusting views, while trying to divide voters. And Adams is right there on the bandwagon. Gross.

Sounds like they didn't do any research here either, just platformed a right wing racist.

💯%. NYT amplifying the work of a known white supremacist is appalling and yet standard practice. They deliberately normalize their source, describing him as "an academic who opposes affirmative action and writes often about I.Q. and race." NYT legitimizes white supremacists. We aren't fooled.

LL Cool J said that he will not perform at Wawa Welcome America in Philadelphia on July 4th because of union strike “There is absolutely no way I can perform across a picket line”

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Regardless of your position on vaccination, it's not a good thing that some random haematologist is in charge of all vaccine policy in the US.

The GOP's Big Ugly Bill is a WAR ON THE POOR! They're taking away healthcare, food assistance, and dignity from those who need it most. #VoteHellNO Call your Representative TODAY! ☎️ 202-224-3121

Opinion: Medicaid cuts will hurt all American children — not just those publicly insured www.statnews.com/2025/07/02/m...

Vinay Prasad overrode the recommendations of a panel of scientists who said that 2025-2026 COVID19 vaccines should be recommended for everyone over the age of 12 years. COVID19 remains a serious public health threat. He will get people killed. He doesn’t care. His ego wins, always.

Disgusting.

Ghoulish. All of them.

Mike Johnson is voting to cut Medicaid. Nearly 40% of his district relies on Medicaid.

Unless you're a billionaire, the Republican budget bill will make your health care worse. Every Democrat has committed to voting NO. If you've got a Republican Representative, call them now at 202-224-3121.

So do I.

After TX made performing abortions a felony in Aug 2022 the # of blood transfusions during ER visits for 1st trimester miscarriage shot up by 54%. This makes clear that those “who experience early miscarriages in abortion ban states are living in a more dangerous medical climate than many believe”

🚨🚨

More than 16 million Americans are at risk of losing their health care because Republicans in Congress are rushing to pass a bill that would cut federal funding for Medicaid and weaken the Affordable Care Act.

In Trieste, Italy, researchers studied 28 patients with long COVID and found that even after mild infection, cognitive symptoms were linked to reduced brain metabolism and slower EEG activity in frontal and temporal regions. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Sickening, revealing stuff from someone with the president’s ear

AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."

ZOHRAN: “WE HAVE WON.”

This. Time to say goodbye, thank you and move along to the tired GOP lite Dem establishment. Listen to the base. Listen to new generations. Listen for new ideas. Embrace, celebrate, real change.

Congratulations to the 13 brave women who risked their careers and reputations to stand up to Cuomo’s sexual predation

Things I learned from this video: -Zohran Mamdani was arrested in front of City Hall and went on a 15-day hunger strike -yellow cab drivers like Mouhamadou were $750K in debt -several cab drivers committed suicide -mayoral ads can also be about celebrating Iftar with spicy Bengali food in the Bronx

On Friday night, we walked the length of Manhattan, from Inwood Hill to Battery Park. New Yorkers deserve a Mayor they can see, hear, even yell at. The city is in the streets.
