Just a reminder that the the way the Senate was set up is fundamentally undemocratic and broken. And facilitates the rule of a white upper class minority over the working class majority.

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill. Do not let anyone play games with you.

This is what many cities in the U.S. looked like before the EPA. Why the heck would anyone celebrate deregulating it?

The FBI is now moving to criminalize groups like Habitat for Humanity for “conspiracy to defraud the United States.” This comes after EPA Director Lee Zeldin eliminated the EPA headquarters in D.C. and 10 other regional offices.

Ten years ago if you had written a dystopian SF story in which the person in charge of U.S. public health did a press event at a fast food joint to say that fried food is good but measles vaccines cause measles the ghost of Philip K. Dick would have said that you were being too bleak and unrealistic

More of this!

Musk called Senator Kelly a traitor for defending Ukraine. Thank you Senator for standing up for our Allies. Abandoning our allies and siding with terrorists is an international security risk. Musk is the real traitor.

Jennifer Piggott proudly hung a red-and-blue Trump flag outside her one-story home during the November campaign. Now that she’s been fired from her civil-service job, her days of supporting the president are over reut.rs/41zDzGB

Three yachts were swallowed by fires early Friday after witnesses described a massive explosion in northwest Miami-Dade. https://nbcnews.to/3DtQPVl

Musk told the Polish FM, a long-standing conservative ally of the US, "be quiet small man". What I find so fascinating about Trump, Vance and Musk's verbal abuse of Ukrainians & Polish officials etc, is: can you imagine them speaking like this to a Russian or Chinese official?

Musk’s DOGE ‘whiz kids’ flew to California to try and release water themselves during LA fires

Is it safe to assume that Russia itself now has access to computers inside the US Treasury, IRS, FAA, FBI, CIA, etc.?

DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS—Al Green stood up for the people. If you consider that a “distraction” you aren’t listening to us!

Governor Josh Shapiro: He has demonstrated nothing but weakness when it comes to national security over the course of his first month in office.

Zelensky has thanked the United States on numerous occasions since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022 – expressing gratitude to Trump and Biden, to members of Congress from both parties, to US defense companies and their employees, and to the American people.

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

The traitors leading the US may have just excluded the country from the negotiations. While Trump promised peace within 24 hours, he won't achieve it anytime soon

Baier: Right. I'm not hearing from you, Mr. President, a thought that you owe the president an apology? Zelenskyy: No. I respect president. And I respect American people. And I'm not sure that we did something bad

Trump and Vance make a viral moment of being big chesty bullies - with thousands of lives at stake. They blow Putin

Journalists, please do not describe what happened at the White House today as a "spat", "heated exchange" or as Zelensky-Trump "going at each other". Zelensky was ambushed by Vance while very calmly explaining why Ukraine needs security guarantees and doesn't trust a ceasefire...
