The South Lake Tahoe Democratic Club wishes you a Happy Independence Day! The Club participated in the 4th of July parade. Someone yelled, “We love you Donkey!”

Today, Donald Trump and the Republican party sent a message to America: If you are not a billionaire, we don’t give a damn about you.

🚨🚨 Republicans just voted to close rural hospitals, cut health insurance for millions, and slash food assistance for Veterans. All to pay for a tax break for billionaires. We will never let them forget this. We will ABSOLUTELY hold them accountable.

💎Pop-Up Rally at Lakeview Commons, Noon to 1 p.m. Enjoy lunch at beautiful South Lake Tahoe while Taking Action! Observe traffic signals, stay on public property & take care of each other & the environment. Safety tips: www.wired.com/story/how-to...

The latest report on H.R. 1. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Republicans are putting 17 million lives at risk in their “Big Beautiful Bill.” These are more than just numbers. These are real people who deserve to live a life without worrying they will go broke if they need health care.

These rural Californians voted for Trump. Now the land they love is in danger. www.sfgate.com/northcoast/a...

Juneteenth is a reminder of how far we’ve come, and how far we still have to go. Today, we’re once more committing ourselves to the work of ending systemic oppression of Black people in America. We’re not free until everyone is free.

No Kings is a nationwide day of defiance. We take action to reject authoritarianism. No Kings is committed to nonviolent action. We expect everyone to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values. www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=5... www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

@sltdems.bsky.social PROTESTERS: Know Your Rights and Responsibilities . Read this guide from ACLU before tomorrow’s No King’s rally. Don’t give the police a reason to shut us down. www.aclu.org/know-your-ri...

The Constitution sets forth limits, and that includes the President of the United States. Today, the people won.

If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.

STATEMENT FROM CADEM CHAIR RUSTY HICKS ON THE ASSAULT OF U.S. SENATOR ALEX PADILLA.

Senator Alex Padilla is one of the most decent people I know. This is outrageous, dictatorial, and shameful. Trump and his shock troops are out of control. This must end now.

Donald Trump deployed more than 700 active U.S. Marines — men and women trained in foreign combat, not domestic law enforcement. We honor their service and bravery. But we do not want our streets militarized by our own Armed Forces. Not in L.A. Not in California. Not anywhere.

Donald Trump commandeered 2,000 of our state’s National Guard members to deploy on our streets.  Illegally, and for no reason.

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

💸 Feeling the pinch at the pump or grocery store? You can thank Trump for that! “All food cost about 117% of what they cost in January 2022. That means a grocery bill that cost $100 back then would cost around $116.56 in April 2025.” www.cbsnews.com/news/price-t...

May is #WildfireAwarenessMonth. People are responsible for 95% of CA’s wildfires. Some of the causes include dragging chains, leaving campfires still burning, and discarded cigarettes. Educational prevention today will help protect our communities in the future. Visit CalAlerts.org for more info.

Celebrate Memorial Day weekend at the park safely, effectively & enjoyably amid the jewel that is South Lake Tahoe. Observe traffic signals, protect people behind you by holding pole signs straight up, stay on public property & take care of each other & the environment. www.wired.com/story/how-to...

Republicans are proudly throwing millions of people off Medicare and making it harder to feed your kids so billionaires can have more money in their pockets. It’s despicable.

Every single House Democrat voted against cutting Medicaid and SNAP.

✊🏾 We protect the rights of people to live freely and safely—regardless of race, gender, religion, or who they love. 🤝 While some try to divide us with fear and scapegoating, we’re focused on unity, dignity, and inclusion. cadem.org

Back the blue? Your followers BEAT the blue on Jan. 6 and then you pardoned them. Shameful.

This victory ends the GOP's 12-year hold on Nebraska's largest city. We are investing everywhere—helping our state parties and in-state partners grow their power from the ground up. Congratulations, John Ewing Jr.!

"This is disturbing what they think they have the ability to do." Here is @jenpsaki.msnbc.com 's interview with Newark Mayor Ras Baraka earlier tonight: youtu.be/-MdwHCOWwiE

DEVELOPING: Newark, New Jersey Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested outside an ICE detention facility, according to a spokesman for Baraka’s gubernatorial campaign.

We hadn’t won World War II by May 8th. I know because my family and I were still in an internment camp in Tule Lake, California.

The Trump administration wants to cut almost 40% of funding for the National Park Service. 📰: bit.ly/42SBc2l
