“CoreCivic has repeatedly shown that it is incapable of running a humane facility. Now, the company flouts city approval to move forward with an ICE center based on false promises.” In filings, the city argued the company previously ran an “absolute hell hole” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

It’s fine, just blame it on George Soros or pronouns or something

To the “I voted for this” crowd: You voted for the guy who gutted the National Weather Service. Now we’ve got dead families and missing kids in Texas, because storm warnings didn’t go out in time. And he gutted FEMA so they can’t properly respond to disasters. That’s what you voted for?

My deepest sympathies to our neighbors in Texas. More than 30 confirmed deaths due to flooding from the last report I saw. The fact that Republicans in Texas are blaming the weather service *that they defunded* shows the height of their cruelty and hypocrisy. 1/2

Across the Hill Country of central Texas today, rescue workers are urgently searching for the missing after a wall of water rushed through an area known as "Flash Flood Alley" in the early morning hours of July 4th.

So Texas officials are blaming the National Weather Service for the lack of warning and resulting death toll from the flooding and not the massive cuts from the government to the National Weather Service that impacted their ability to give more advanced and detailed warning. 👌

Stacey Abrams is explaining what is happening. #USDemocracy

WATCH: “The @nytimes.com was exposed for trying to manufacture a scandal about @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social — while in the process revealing a scandal about The NYT.” This is the correct take. Sadly it will likely only be folks on TikTok who point it out😕 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DLuj917...

Yep.... they are the monsters and don’t seem to mind one bit!🤬

🧵1/3 On July 5, 1852, Frederick Douglass asked a question that still echoes: “What to the slave is the Fourth of July?” He exposed the deep hypocrisy of celebrating freedom in a nation built on bondage. 173 years later, that question still demands an answer. Please watch the 2nd part in thread

“There’s a published article out there …”? What does ‘out there’ mean? He lied to gain prominence. He lied to get his job. And he lies all the time even after getting the job 🤦‍♂️

Happy 4th of July from the Oligarchy 🇺🇸 #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer (H/T @evilpacofficial.bsky.social )

How Donald Trump should have been handled

RFK Jr. makes the most basic mistake in all of epidemiology:

Three years ago today, the community of Highland Park was shattered by gun violence. To those in Highland Park, our state continues to grieve and heal with you. We’ll never forget those we’ve lost — we owe it to the victims and survivors to end this uniquely American epidemic.

This Fourth of July, I am taking a moment to reflect. Things are hard right now. They are probably going to get worse before they get better. But I love our country — and when you love something, you fight for it. Together, we will continue to fight for the ideals of our nation.

so let me get this straight—the NYT accepted hacked information given to them by a substack white supremacist to be used against a mayoral candidate?

Super interesting that none of the safeguards I’ve grown up hearing about that were apparently in place to protect the public from a tyrannical government are being employed in the moment of the uprising of a tyrannical government.

I truly hope this puts a definitive end to the perpetual insistence by Democrats that they can compromise with Republicans. You can't. These people are extreme, depraved, and shameless. They just stripped healthcare from 17 million people to give themselves a tax cut.

JEFFRIES: “Talkin’ about draining the swamp? Guess what? YOU ARE THE SWAMP.” #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer

Black women are the most educated demographic in America. More degrees per capita than any other group, including white men and white women. And still, they’re among the most underpaid. More educated, less paid. Overqualified, underestimated, and undervalued. Every time. (1 of 3)

AOC: They’re giving people crumbs and they are taking away the whole loaf.

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.

Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans just passed historic cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and so much more. We're going to have to pull together to overcome these challenges. I promise you that I'll do everything in my power to help protect you.

When your neighbor on the left is being dragged away by masked men and your neighbor on the right can't get an X-ray for their child, be sure to quickly explain that "both parties are the same" and whatnot.

Republicans in Congress have voted to devastate millions of people across our nation — kicking Americans off their health care, shuttering hospitals, eliminating food assistance, and raising costs. This is Project 2025 in action.

Today proves that Republicans were serious about one promise: to cut taxes for the wealthy. All the rest was bullshit.

It’s 1AM and I’m just off the floor of the House where we have still not voted on this disaster of a bill. I’m carrying your voices with me with every breath, every step. I’ll be sure to keep you updated.

And Trump is an evil man.

Calling Dr. Lecter, STAT

Our analysis, which shows that more women nearly bled to death during miscarriage after Texas banned abortion, adds to a growing body of reporting revealing that maternal outcomes have gotten worse under bans.

Many seniors can’t afford dental care, hearing aids or glasses. I’m proud that all Democrats supported my amendment last night to expand Medicare to cover dental, hearing and vision paid for by cutting prescription drug costs for Medicare in half. No Republicans voted for it.

Tim Pool has been shilling for Russia, so naturally, he was invited into the White House press room

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."

Humanity going backwards.

Democracies use government as an instrument for the common good. Using a tax bill to destroy and deny health care for 17 million of our people is a sign of authoritarianism.

Breaking: The US lost 33,000 jobs in June. They were expecting to *gain* 100,000.

Happy Canada Day 🇨🇦🇨🇦 #canadaday #canada #elbowsup

He is sick

It was only 5 months ago that Trump said he would only go after the worst of the worst. Now they are disappearing people including U.S. citizens. Next they want to create a national database of citizens. Will states send back individual voting data? If anyone thinks they are safe, they are wrong.

Oh wow, this is a powerful message.

“I represent 67,000 pediatricians, and let me be clear: this bill will devastate children’s health,” said Dr. Susan Kressly, President of @ameracadpeds.bsky.social “Kids are 22% of our population—but 100% of our future. We cannot afford to fail them.” Call your senators and demand a NO vote.

Jason Bateman on Trump supporters and Fox News: “Do you think Trump would have gotten the same number of votes if the people who voted for him had access to or the curiosity to seek out and find the truth? Because they’re not getting the truth over on Fox, a $787M lawsuit is proof of it”

Bernie Sanders: “It is obscene to give tax breaks to the top 1% by throwing more than 16 million people off health care, cutting nutrition for hungry kids and making it harder for working class young people to go to college. That is exactly what Trump's budget reconciliation bill does.”
