(next to an image of Rep. Ocasio-Cortez) “Lying to and screwing over working people so that they can steal from our health care and Social Security and veterans care to pay for tax cuts for the the wealthiest and bail outs for their crypto billionaire friends-there's a word for this: CORRUPTION."

So glad I live in Oregon.

Thank you so much!

Really? I got an email from SSA. F*ck this propaganda.
"The Social Security Administration (SSA) is celebrating the passage of the One Big, Beautiful Bill, a landmark piece of legislation that delivers long-awaited tax relief to millions of older Americans..."

TRUMP'S BIG UGLY BILL: • Forces nearly a trillion dollars in cuts to Medicaid, the largest cut to the life-saving program ever by a factor of FOUR • Gives ICE a larger budget than many militaries around the world • Strips healthcare away from 5% of Americans • Kicks 11.8 million people off SNAP benefits • Not only cuts funding for green energy but actually taxes it, threatening to balloon energy costs and eliminate hundreds of thousands of jobs • Represents the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in US history

The Senate will soon vote on Trump’s Tax Scam, which would gut Medicaid and SNAP to fund more tax cuts for billionaires.

We agree with this take! If Warren Buffett wants to create lasting, systemic change, we certainly would welcome and encourage him to join us in advocating for REAL reforms to our tax code!

Thank you Senator Wyden! So glad I'm an Oregonian.

Medicaid cuts could result in more than 16,000 preventable deaths annually Health care proposals in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act could lead to more than 16,000 preventable deaths, a new analysis finds.

New analysis: the Big Beautiful Bill could lead to 16,642 preventable deaths a year by slashing Medicaid.
Millions more would lose coverage.
The cost of tax breaks for the 1% is American lives.

Tell Your Senators: No War With Iran The American people do not want to enter Netanyahu’s war with Iran. American involvement would not only put our troops into harm's way, but risk escalating an already volatile situation into all-out r...

Too many Democrats are too timid to speak out against war with Iran, falsely believing that staying on the sidelines absolves them of the consequences of such colossal decisions.

For real 💯

Here's an idea. Dem Governors & Mayors should be ordering their local law enforcement to arrest any & all unidentified and masked alleged ICE agents.

If a random guy in a mask grabbed someone and threw them in a vehicle, we'd call that a kidnapping.

Why not here?

The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers. He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

Extreme wealth poses an existential threat to our democracy and way of life.

It is a threat to everyone and every future person who does not exist.

Because we've seen how oligarchs stole their wealth and turned it into political power.

That's why we're here to change the game.

Big Science 🙂 Many of our friends and colleagues made this happen. Shout-out to Mike Donoghue and to my husband, Scott Baker who, 20 years ago, organized a consortium of South Pacific whale researchers to track whale biology and movements using old-school techniques, like photo ID.

I've been thinking about what civilization means. Not golf courses; parks for all. Not fancy restaurants; wholesome food for all. Not Trump Tower, decent housing for all. Not rancid tweets; books in public libraries. We used to be on the path to civilized society - why did we let it go?

Good, but genuflecting to stay in his good graces when he stops an asinine decision is revolting. As is having to initiate countless lawsuits for other ADs.

You can do one of these! I'm going to do one I hope, but in my hometown in KY, not in the university town I live in now

I've been promised help setting everything up, and if I can do it so can you

House Republicans’ tax bill would grant the Treasury Secretary the ability to accuse any nonprofit of being a “terrorist supporting organization” without basic due process. No president should have the power this bill provides to punish their political opponents.

The House Ways and Means Committee advanced the tax portion of their "big, beautiful" bill today and the numbers are in:

The poorest 20% of Americans will get a $3.6 billion tax break.

The richest 20%? $384.6 billion. thehill.com/homenews/hou...

‘Like a slap in the face’: Trump officials cut hundreds of millions to combat gun violence and opioid addiction

Hundreds of millions of federal grant dollars meant to prevent and respond to gun violence, opioid addiction and support victims of violent crimes were cut this week by the Trump administration.

Does Cutting the Corporate Tax Rate Create Investment? Probably not.

Save this explainer for the next time you need to explain to someone why cutting the corporate tax rate does not actually create investment:

Because really, a lower rate means less money will go to the government and more will go to shareholders: simonyates.substack.com/p/does-cutti...
