Every day I ask how can I help? Returning the shopping cart at a store, adding a comment of encouragement on somebody’s post. Mailing books to state representatives, or checking on a friend. Whatever our actions, keep asking: how can I help? RS
I am America: inspired by Heather Cox Richardson
The GOP's loyalty to Trump is about to cost America everything. Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" has passed the Senate. Now what? @therickwilson.bsky.social breaks it down: youtu.be/BvFji84kSmE
Difficult to overstate how depraved, racist, sociopathic, and fascistic the modern Republican Party has become.
Congressman Gabe Evans is about to vote on whether to kick millions of Americans off health care.
He's refused to hold town halls to hear from his own constituents, so I went to his office to read the words of a person in his district who could badly suffer, or die, without Medicaid.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski on the Big Ugly Bill she just voted for:
“Do I like this bill? No. But I tried to take care of Alaska’s interests, but I know that in many parts of the country, there are Americans that are not going to be advantaged by this bill"
"I know I could *not* pull this lever, and the trolley would just go along it's merry way and everyone would be fine, and if I pull the lever, millions will die. So I'm going to go ahead and pull it, and maybe someone else will save them?" -Lisa Murkowski, probably
$45 billion for ethnic cleansing
Trump is now calling for the deportation of American citizens.
This is fascism
After Texas made performing abortions a felony in August 2022, ProPublica found, the number of blood transfusions during emergency room visits for first-trimester miscarriage shot up by 54%.

girl 😒 casting an "agonizing" *aye vote* and having the nerve to be like 'pls change it' is ridiculous
related: does anyone have the latest Senate version?
I know GOP released this around 11am but with all the frantic changes, idk what text they actually passed

"I know that in many parts of the country, there are Americans that are not going to be advantaged by this bill. I don't like that.”
After voting in favor of the GOP domestic policy bill, Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, says she still has issues with it.
Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice. Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice. Taking from those in need and giving to the rich is a policy choice.
Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP are choosing to do this with their budget bill. [Cartoon by Jesse Duquette]
ATTENTION Susan Collins/Lusaka Murkowsky!!
Attached is what 13 of Alaskans and Maine's population goes through EVERYDAY.
Lisa Murkowsky is a coward. If she’s so scared of Trump and MAGA, then she should resign immediately. You sold out the whole country except for Alaska. Thanks for nothing

Having already spent over $7M backing the right-wing candidate in Wisconsin's Supreme Court election, Elon Musk's Super PAC is now offering Wisconsin voters $100 each to sign its petition against "activist judges."
This is what a broken campaign finance system looks like.
Absolutely superb and important piece by Professors @stevelevitsky.bsky.social and @ryanenos.bsky.social
The only way to fight authoritarianism is to fight together. Strongest institutions in the front.

This is a really good video
Just so we’re all clear, the Supreme Court *expressly ruled* that the president cannot fire FTC commissioners without cause in 1935’s Humphrey’s Executor. Trump’s action here is brazenly illegal under any interpretation of the law as it stands. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...
X post by Julie Roginsky (@julieroginsky ), posted 1 day ago. The post reads, "When this is all over, Rubio will go on a rehabilitation book tour assuring us that he was really trying to stop madness behind the scenes. Do not ever believe him." Below this, there is a quoted post by Aaron Rupar (@atrupar ), posted 2 days ago, which says, "Marco Rubio in Canada: 'The president has made his argument as to why he thinks Canada would be better off joining the United States.'" Accompanying the quoted post is an image of Marco Rubio speaking at the G7 Summit in Canada, with a backdrop featuring mountains and an American flag. The bottom of the image includes text from C-SPAN stating, "SECRETARY OF STATE RUBIO ATTENDS G7 SUMMIT IN CANADA," along with a timestamp of "12:21 pm ET."
Of all the spineless worms out there, Rubio may be the wormiest.
GOP’s aim is to shutdown democracy and 'replace it with techno-state dictatorship' warns Rep. Raskin

You don’t know who we just disappeared to El Salvador. Think about that.
Murphy: "If we continue to observe norms, if we continue to engage in business as usual, this democracy could be gone. I don't think we have a year to save American democracy. I think the way the president is acting ... puts out democracy at immediate risk."
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:
PRIMARY EVERY DEMOCRAT WHO BOWS TO TRUMP.
The people deserve better and can do better than these cowards.
It’s a real shame they tamped him down so much on the campaign. Probably wouldn’t have made the difference, but damn, remember the euphoria of that first weekend she picked him and they were talking like people and we were on the offensive? It felt fucking amazing and he is really good at this.
The first rule in fighting tyranny is to never capitulate in advance. You broke that rule. You are not up to the moment as a leader.
My latest: "Beware the Ides of March, Democrats"
10 Senate Democrats led by Chuck Schumer exemplified the cowardice and fecklessness of Democratic leadership that is unable to fight fascism and remains complicit in its normalization
