If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

I'm telling you, he's reading the room. When Trump killed two white people, Jeffries was like, there's no point holding back now. With the Obamas video, he can really lean.

Jeff Bezos took over the Washington Post Editorial Board and turned it into a mouthpiece for pro-corporate, pro-billionaire propaganda. Now, WaPo is laying off hundreds of *real* journalists — including the reporter covering Amazon. Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

Buttigieg on Fox News: "When you see an American woman opening the door to her home and on her doorstep finds half a dozen federal agents in tactical gear that is more tricked out than what I would take outside the wire in Afghanistan -- I think most people get that that is wrong."

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners. Decide. Who are you?

@jonathancapehart.bsky.social Thank you Jonathan for speaking up and out for all of us who are terrified by #ICE and the attempts to strip all of our human and constitutional rights. You were amazingly composed on @npr.org !

I won’t stop reporting the truth. The First Amendment is the bedrock of our democracy, and I’ll continue to fight to protect it 🤝🏾🇺🇸

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

It seems I may need to pin this post.

A new Pew poll finds that Trump's job approval rating stands at 37%, only 27% support all or most of his policies, and 50% feel the administration's actions have been worse than expected. Also, only 21% are very confident Trump acts ethically in office. www.pewresearch.org/politics/202...

Here's what Trump said about a government shutdown during Obama's presidency. How about we keep helping people afford health coverage and KEEP THE GOV'T OPEN??? #shutdown #trump #republicans @democrats.senate.gov

Changing the jobs report to be quarterly instead of monthly doesn't solve the problem of needing to wait for revisions. You can do a monthly jobs report 90 days in arrears to solve that if you want. But putting a report out in April for Q1 will still need to be revised. Weirdos.

They go fast when they want to go fast and slow when they want to go to slow and the decision is *always* an ideological one.

Last year, a majority of voters in Missouri passed a ballot initiative enacting paid sick leave. This year, Missouri's Republican governor signed legislation repealing it. Do Republicans ever listen to the will of their voters?

CW: Sexual assault In multiple states, men have impersonated ICE agents to kidnap and assault women. This is one of many reasons we shouldn't have a masked, unaccountable secret police force roaming the streets. Our elected officials can and must act now: www.bluestatedefiance.org/no-secret-po...

Congrats to Stephen Colbert for never bending the knee.

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.

Stephen Colbert is a profoundly good and deeply talented man with a great staff and an excellent show. They all deserve better.

Gutting funding for public media will cut off news sources for millions of Americans. That’s exactly what Trump wants: to exert even more control over the news and information that the public receives – or doesn’t even receive at all. It’s a hallmark of dictatorship.

The budget bill contains tens of billions to fund an army of 10,000 more ICE agents. This is a red alert moment for our democracy.

I don’t think folks truly grasp what’s coming. This is a budget for a nationwide system of concentration camps in a country that already has one of the highest per capita incarceration levels in the world.

Everyone can read this article for free-- I'm disgusted at that the bill makes even DEEPER cuts to health care. Medicaid is NOT being left alone, no matter what the president says. Call your Senators. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/29/u...

🚨 Heads up - Musk hack - Big Balls - is coming after social security as he has shown up at Social Security Administration as “a special government employee” focusing on “improving the functionality” of its website. 🙄

The WMD we need to pay attention to right now as well - the big ugly tax bill Republicans are rushing through Congress right now which will blow up America’s hospital network. @ddayen.bsky.social has the details w a fiery quote from @alaw202.bsky.social prospect.org/health/2025-...

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Why do Donald Trump and his cronies need access to millions of Americans’ private data? It’s absurd. #trump #socialsecurity #ssa @warren.senate.gov #doge @democrats.senate.gov
