One thing I will never forget is how six Republican Justices on the bench of our Highest Court declared kidnapping and disappearing human beings without a paper trail to anywhere in the world is a lawful act. SCOTUS is the now the very death panel Republicans told us to fear.

I am 1000% with the excellent Ms Jeong on this matter.

Further context: If you’ve never dealt with FEMA after a disaster I can tell you they answer within 30 seconds. No hold times. Real live wonderful people who help while you cry and can’t even figure out what questions to ask. They walk you through it all. Every call. NOEM STOLE THAT $ FOR ICE

Not a good look for Indiana Humanities education is super important to a thriving civilization and economy www.chicagotribune.com/2025/07/07/e...

Some hospitals in the U.S. are without essential staff because international doctors who were set to start their medical training this week were delayed by the Trump administration’s travel and visa restrictions.

National debt, senator?? You mean the debt that grew by $3 trillion thanks to the big ugly bill you voted for? That debt?

Text from Indiana Sen. Todd Young saying our 3 biggest problems are China, the border, and national debt? Do you know any Hoosiers, Sen. Young?

Since 1980, there have been over 400 weather disasters in the US, with total damages over $1 billion. These disasters have cost $2.9 trillion in total and killed nearly 17,000 people. Don't tell me we "can't afford" to address the climate crisis. The truth is we can’t afford not to.

(This is supported by the academic research too.)

This is insane. 😡

All of MAGA’s favorite superstars were spinning the “list” just a few months ago bsky.app/profile/ronf...

So Ghislaine Maxwell is serving 20 years for trafficking girls to nobody?!?!

Project 2025 clearly states that the goal is to defund and eliminate NOAA/NWS, so it can be privatized, monopolized, and made for profit. It also states clearly that NOAA’s climate change messaging must be stopped. This is all by design.

Sandy Hook parent says tragedies are inherently political: “You may not believe in climate change, but insurance companies absolutely do.”

Apparently, "in 2016 engineers warned that Kerr County faced a high risk of a devastating flood. They recommended high-water sensors, river gauges, and automated alerts to protect lives. FEMA and NOAA offered funding pathways, but local Republican leadership rejected those recommendations."

Tech bros get frustrated with politics, which involves painstaking, often frustrating communication & compromise with other people who have different backgrounds & perspectives, so their approach is always to wish it away: a brand new city! a brand new political party! this one weird trick!

Requested them in 2018! Wow, no wonder state officials are reverting to prayer

“Trump’s approach to economic statecraft is to impose pressure and get leverage and try to get the best deal possible,” he said. But “for whatever reason, with Russia, he doesn’t want to have any leverage over Putin.” www.nytimes.com/2025/07/02/u...

Forcing people to have a job in order to get health insurance is just another form of indentured servitude.

Mayor Brandon Scott has reduced crime in Baltimore by 62%, and now has the lowest homicide rate in Baltimore history. How did he do it? NOT be spending more on police. He did it by MAJOR investment in afterschool and literacy programs. Socialism works

Freedom from kings. Freedom from fascism. Power to the people forever. ♥️ Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸

35 years? More like 60 years. 1962.

unfortunately being right violates the New York Times social media standards

This is inexcusable spreading of racist propaganda from the NYT. I honestly feel physically sick.

No, Sen. Murkowski, House Republicans were not going to save you from your biggest mistake voting for that bill. No, Americans, Congress will not save us from a tyrannical regime that’s abandoned democracy, the rule of law & human decency. It’s going to take mass protest & collective power.

Prominent immigration attorney Aaron Reichlin-Melnick claimed that Thursday's passage of Donald Trump's mega spending bill has made Immigration and Customs Enforcement "the highest-funded federal law enforcement agency in history.

Andry Hernandez Romero, a make-up artist from Venezuela who sought asylum in the U.S., was sent to a megaprison in El Salvador because of his tattoos, his lawyers say. NBC News' David Noriega spoke to Hernandez's family, who says they have not heard from him since.

Horrible headline and not great pull quote. But. Very useful article ⬇️

OPINION: "Authoritarianism remains an important contributor to Americans’ support for a ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth," Tatishe Nteta, Adam Eichen, Jesse Rhodes and Lane Cuthbert write. buff.ly/2Gw2uOF

There are a lot of people in my comments today who don’t seem to know that: 1. congressional offices track calls by topic area and comment 2. tying up staff resources always gets to the Congressperson in charge 3. flooding the lines sends a message that we will not roll over for fascism.

Minority Leader @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social calls the MAGA Republican bill “an immoral document” because of how it attacks the American people. No billionaire has ever died from not getting a tax cut, but Americans will. They’re not “fighting for America.” They’re robbing the country blind.

The majority of Japanese-Americans interned during WWII were American citizens. Our government ignored their civil rights.

Hoosiers, look ⬇️

A budget equal to what the U.S. passes when "engaged in foreign war". IMO, foreseeing the potential of the U.S. military not being "loyal" to him, this budget is to fund his own private 100% loyal military.

Helluva @notusreports.bsky.social scoop showing that Trump has no idea what's in his budget bill. Seems like something that ought to get a lot more attention. Also this: a republican house member actually admits that they are attacking medicaid. Yes, they are. www.notus.org/congress/rec...

They are already talking about how we have to “rein in spending” — AFTER they get their tax cut, expecting us to believe they still care about the debt This means they’ll oppose programs that help regular people and call them “fiscally reckless” They think we are all morons

Hell YES! Y’all are flooding the Capitol Switchboard so hard it’s overwhelmed—this is people power in action! 💥 Here’s what to do next: Call your reps’ district offices instead. It’s easy—just Google their name + “district office number.” Pass it on. Keep that pressure blazing. #VoteHellNo

The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense — yet that's what this GOP budget is all about.

The fact that DOCTORS, people trained to save lives are standing in front of Mike Johnson’s office yelling that his bill will kill people should tell you everything. The Doctors Caucus brought the facts, the stories, and the heartbreak to his doorstep. He refused to listen 😡

NEW: Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s lawyers seek permission to file an amended complaint in his civil case in Maryland. Among other things, the amended complaint “includes Abrego Garcia's first-hand account of torture and mistreatment at CECOT…”

It just occurred to me that Trump's denial of Medicaid for many of his cult followers will leave them without legitimate medical coverage & they will resort to "wellness" scammers- those who wouldn't qualify for Medicaid payments. The snake oil salesmen figure to benefit more than anyone here.

Ohio just passed it's budget that bans funding for MENTAL HEALTH therapy for all trans people in medicaid. This is what eradication policies look like.

welp, I guess the nation's largest city is no longer free to elect a mayor of its choosing

I saw today a German publication referred to Trump as a sadist. It's true. It's a strong word. And we should use it more. He's a sadistic monster. Millions upon millions will die and suffer because of policies that he and those around him gleefully celebrate.

It’s true. This is the largest transfer of wealth from the poorest to the richest in our nation's history.

Laughing in front of cages designed to hold migrants and refugees, many of whom came to this country fleeing extreme violence and poverty, and hoping to raise their children in a more compassionate country. And many of whom followed all the legal procedures to enter the country.

“The minutiae of Medicaid policy” is a wild euphemism for “16M+ Americans will lose their healthcare”
