I mean, if you had a serious, important job and you made a mistake like this, you'd probably get fired...

It's hard to read when you're doing GOP performance art and looking for photo ops.

That's why.

It’s on record.

Minneapolis… San Diego… Folks are pushing back. This is only going to get worse.

The president of the United States has spent more time attacking Bruce Springsteen than addressing the fact that 771,480 men, women, and children were counted as homeless last year.

Very sad to hear Rep. Connolly has passed. Also, Dems might be wise to consider empowering younger people and not clinging to power until the very end?

Tariffs were NEVER going to “bring manufacturing back to the US.” There are many reasons, including: •Even with tariffs, US labor is prohibitively expensive •America’s supply chain isn’t ready •Most Americans don’t want to do manufacturing jobs •Not enough unemployed workers to fill new factories

13.7 million Americans on the brink of losing their health care   U.S. stripped of its immaculate credit rating   Families are paying more due to tariff chaos   Consumer confidence plummeting to near-record lows

Tons of news today and I have two powerhouse guests to break it all down at 4p ET/ 1p PT on Substack! Starting with Dem rising star @repstansbury.bsky.social and the one and only @katiephang.bsky.social - plus journalist Juliegrace Brufke will get us up to speed on the GOP tax bill. See you soon!

Remember when they wouldn’t let AOC be ranking member on Oversight because a medically fragile 74 year old didn’t want to give up power? And then he died five months later?

At 9:00 AM this morning the entire Pentagon got an email inviting them to a “Christian prayer and worship service” from the Office of the Secretary of Defense. A Cabinet member directly violating the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.

Tim is Correct. Also — it isn’t true. According to the “Amerikaner” immigration site (before it was mysteriously changed):

Angie Craig: "I have no idea why we think it's a good idea to repeal a tax on silencers when we are going to feed fewer children in our country as a result of this. It's a moral damn failure is what it is."

Last year my wife had breast cancer and a double mastectomy. This morning, for the first time ever, she was challenged in the changing rooms at the swimming pool. Her breasts were not what make her a woman - but, breasts or not, she is entitled to dignity and protection from vigilantes.

The GOP bill will decrease resources for the poorest 10% in America, with households expected to lose 4% of their income by 2027 without Medicaid, Medicare, & SNAP. In contrast, the top 10% of Americans will see their incomes rise by 4% thanks to “reductions in the taxes they owe.”

McGovern: "This is not a governing philosophy. It is a scam. I wasn't sent here to vote for trash. I can't understand why you'd choose a career of public service to do this -- to rip away the healthcare & food assistance of working & middle class Americans. Is that really what you came here to do?"

Truth:

Crockett: Right now, it seems like you don’t care about the constitution unless it’s the second amendment and that’s misinterpreted as well. There’s other amendments.. And we don’t get to just change it because our fearless leader says that he doesn’t like it

Does anyone else see the issue? TAX the RICH

Only if we focus on ripping out the MAGA menace root and branch will we spare ourselves of the horrors that Europeans have experienced over millennia. Perhaps that is why EU countries have consistently chosen center-left leaders in the Trump era. They know exactly what is at stake.

CLEVELAND, TN: “A senior at Tennessee Christian Prep is suing her own high school, saying they suspended her from school and are withholding her diploma all because she posted on social media that she was gay.” WSMV: www.instagram.com/reel/DJ7Megu...

Sen. Chris Van Hollen to Marco Rubio: "I regret voting for you."

Big Bird’s been privatized.

“Midnight popcorn“ for the #HouseOfReptesentativeshearing at 1 AM Wednesday. This is a rules hearing that the House is obviously trying to hide from the American people. Among other things, you can learn about those #MedicaidCuts & #TrumpPowerGrabs. America might be pretty tired tomorrow.

Loss of a National Endowment for the Humanities grant, which was 80% of its budget, led the 55-year-old organization to dramatically downsize come June.

Crockett: That’s why they hired everybody from Fox because all they’re trying to do is put on a show.. I want us to refocus our attention on the American people and stop demonizing every person that ends up in ICE custody… *Applause* Van Drew: *bangs gavel*

They are so dumb. So very, very dumb.

Finally found something that will make me happy about turning 65

Don't let up. Hold their feet to the fire. (DoJ: I do not mean to literally light feet on fire.)

DURBIN: How can we give hope to people across the country who are suffering from so many diseases when our government is cutting back on that research? RFK Jr: I do not know about any cuts to ALS research D: I just read them to you! R: I didn't know about them until you told me about them

"Right-wing populism is supposed to embrace a robust government role in shielding working people from economic degradation. But at its core, Trumpism is ultimately hostile to the aims of the social democratic state."
