When Thom Tillis Went Rogue www.theassemblync.com/politics/til...

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

With at least 130 having died in the Texas floods, NOAA’s Atlas 15 was the exact kind of tool we need to prepare for future disasters. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick paused it, stalling vital work forecasting extreme rainfall risk and leaving us vulnerable to future tragedies.

The administration will incinerate enough food to feed 1.5 million children for a week. When it burns, its label will read: THIS PRODUCT IS A GIFT FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. 500 tons, from us, to no one. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

Protecting his stock portfolio while ripping away health care from 17 million Americans. This is Washington at its worst. We need to ban Congressional stock trading.

If the billionaires are so determined to leave us behind, perhaps it would be best to sponsor a mission to Mars so humanity can rid itself of them, writes @jeetheer.bsky.social. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

“We now face the peril of an imperial presidency enabled by a spineless legislature and a reckless judiciary,” Robert Stewart writes in a letter to The Times.

🚨The GOP provision to DEFUND Planned Parenthood is staying in the Big Ugly bill. Clinics will shutter. Women will lose access to cancer screenings, birth control, and basic care. I will be forcing a vote to try to strip it out. Fight like hell. We need to kill this bill.

Due to the ongoing U.S. measles outbreak, a Texas man worried that his young son was at risk and took him to get vaccinated. The cost of the shot? $1,400.

“What do I tell 663,000 people in two years or three years, when President Trump breaks his promise by pushing them off of Medicaid because the funding is not there anymore?” Tillis said.

Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine. If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

"You don't have the authority to arrest US citizens who are asking to see a judicial warrant." NYC mayoral candidate Brad Lander being arrested *along with a member of his NYPD security team* by ICE.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

It’d be a slap in the face for Congress to expand tax loopholes for Big Pharma companies that are making billions while overcharging Americans. These companies should be held accountable for prioritizing profits over people.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

Community Transit here in the Seattle area asked me to narrate a new video series about the importance of public transit and it turned out great! Second ep just dropped.

Breaking News: Senator Bernie Sanders endorsed Zohran Mamdani for New York City mayor, calling him a “visionary” leader.

Trump’s Travel Ban 2.0 is discriminatory and xenophobic, plain and simple. He’s targeting immigrants from Black and Brown countries while welcoming in White South Africans. We’re fighting back with our No Ban Act.

Just to make the obvious explicit: Whether a country is willing to act as an extraterritorial gulag has exactly nothing to do with whether people from that country pose a security risk. They’re not even pretending the “security” pretext for the travel ban is serious.

Trump administration weighs adding 36 countries to travel ban, memo says reut.rs/3HK9IoJ

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

He threw his own birthday party, spent millions and millions of the American people’s money, and they still didn’t come.

Leah Greenberg: $45 million for this birthday parade. Did anyone ask for this? Meanwhile, they are telling us that there is no money for Social Security, there is no money there’s no money for Medicaid. @indivisible.org

She’s right 😉

Tim Snyder: Today no kings, tomorrow freedom. There is a better America out there. There is a better America underneath. There is a better America that we can see. There is a better America that we can make. History is in our hands.

Holy shit, New York! Here’s the full view. #NoKings #50501Movement

Raskin: You are not our king, and we are not your subjects. We will never be your subjects. All of us born here on this land are citizens and your executive order is nothing but bad graffiti on the Constitution, and we're going to wash it off today

This time-lapse video of protesters marching down Broadway in Oakland for No Kings Day gives an idea of how many people turned out today @sfchronicle.com

"Because we see our democracy's in real trouble. We see a president who has made himself a king and dictator." "We're disgusted and we're scared, and we know the only way to fight this now is for the people to come together." - @markruffalo.bsky.social on why he's at the #NoKings event in NYC
