β€œβ€¦to defend and advance President Trump’s agenda” of starving millions of Americans.

Got it.

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

The ammo used was stamped β€œTRN” because it was manufactured by the bullet manufacture Turan.

And a MAGAt saw the β€œTRN” stamp, and apparently thinks about trans people all day every day, and so that’s what they ran with for half a day.

It’s literally that dumb.

So after days of Republicans blaming and vilifying Democrats and trans people for Kirk’s murder despite having no clue who the person was, we find out it’s a white guy from a Republican family in Utah who loved guns.

We give Israel 10.4 million dollars every day. They have free healthcare and
college. But we don't because we can't afford it!

β€œILLEGALS” MY ASS!

Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store.

He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.

This is the type of person Trump pardoned. He proudly asserts that they should have injured a US Capitol Police Officer worse than they did on January 6th (@sergeantaqgo.bsky.social) had to medically retire).

But MAGA supports law enforcement? Seriously? Then show me by condemning this guy.

Wait! I thought Trump was supposed to be β€œending homelessness.”

HUD just announced a nationwide audit of Section 8 β€œcitizen status.”

Mixed-status families could lose rental assistance, even when kids are U.S. citizens. Families including children could be thrown into eviction & face homelessness.

Why do you appreciate unions?

I’ll start:

Weekends off
Paid vacations
Work breaks
Sick leave
Paid holidays
No child labor
Safer working conditions
Health care and retirement benefits

No matter what @MarshaBlackburn keeps saying, it’s not criminals they’re targeting.

Republicans in Congress have structured the most painful benefit cuts in their budget bill to kick in AFTER the 2026 midterms.Β 

But the tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy? Those begin immediately.

Remember this.

As long as they’re hiding their faces, badges and names we should stop calling them β€œfederal agents.”

Call them masked goons or unidentified thugs or whatever, unless and until they provide proper ID.

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

Is the floor so low we’re only half-expecting an apology from a Senator who mocked the assasination of politicians he didn’t like? Or is there just no floor at all anymore? Mike Lee should resign. Today.
