Might be a good idea for Dem controlled state and local governments to hold hearings now about what the big, ugly bill and cuts to FEMA, NOAA, HHS/NIH, etc are going to do to their communities.

Our electeds have a responsibility to inform the public about what is coming now. Particularly 👇

Trump got $170 billion for immigration. Now he has to enact it. Even with new cash, ICE could face challenges to meet the White House’s goal of 1 million annual deportations.

It seems Stephen Miller and Vought somehow amassed power, in the vacuum of zero checks and balances.

≈ $170 billion new #ice #immigration enforcement dollars.

🔥🔥🔥 Trump’s America, immigration court yesterday. People arriving for their scheduled court dates, to do the right thing, randomly grabbed out of the courtroom ripped from their families and children and violently arrested by masked men, and disappeared. #July4th

How Trump Upended 60 Years of Civil Rights in Two Months

“By deploying the Civil Rights Act against the very people it was created to protect, conservatives hope to get as close to their ultimate goal as possible: repealing it.” @nhannahjones.bsky.social — indispensable as always — in the @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/06/27/m...

Supreme Court clears way for deportation to South Sudan of several immigrants with no ties there The Supreme Court is clearing the way for the deportation of several immigrants who were put on a flight in May bound for South Sudan, a war-ravaged country where they have no ties.

The illegitimate Supreme Court has just granted the Trump regime approval to banish people to war-torn South Sudan where they could face imprisonment, torture and even death.

This entire government is run by billionaire-owned white supremacists hellbent on replacing democracy with a fascist regime.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia was tortured at CECOT.

If voters are horrified, they cannot forget that Rs are solely responsible for the cruelest, most destructive, and most inhumane bill in decades. ..The bill now moves to the House, where every Republican who votes for this cruel compact will soon face the wrath of voters.

For weeks, I have been saying this is out of control.

💯

Given how much money is in this bill for ICE, we have created the secret police force necessary for him to do this.

I can tell you that NONE of my Florida neighbors are happy about this.

Just call them what they are: concentration camps. Despicable.

ICE *already* can't meet their detainment numbers without rounding up children, veterans, people born in the U.S., people with no criminal records, people at immigration hearings, plus academics and visitors with valid visas.

So who do they plan to detain with >10x the budget?

The answer is: you.

It shouldn't get lost that just today, Senate Republicans have voted to close nursing homes, close rural hospitals, and cut food stamp benefits for children and veterans.

How was Joe Biden forced out of a presidential race for a disastrous debate and for looking frail and for confusing names, but this man, one of the most ignorant men to ever be elected to any office, allowed to continue on as president and treated as a normal, serious leader??

ICE “bounty hunters” dressed like they’re in a war zone to detain day laborers and a lady selling tacos at a Home Depot in Cypress Park this morning.

I’m so sick of these punks!

Corruption is the brand

The Trump administration is building a national citizenship data system The Department of Homeland Security, with help from DOGE, has rolled out a tool that purports to be able to check the citizenship status of almost all Americans.

The Trump regime has created a system to search national citizenship data. Tools like this are used by authoritarian regimes to surveil people, suppress voters, and punish dissenters. This is another alarming and likely illegal development.

And the NIH budget gets cut by approx 40%…hope that GOP voters are happy with less cancer & Alzheimer’s research & more kidnappings 😤

Senate Dems Force EVERY WORD in Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill to be Read on the Floor Before Vote YouTube video by Senator Cory Booker

I urge my Republican colleagues to listen to what they would be voting for: drastic cuts to Medicaid, increased costs for working Americans, and skyrocketing deficits.

Late last night, Senate Republicans voted to advance Trump's Big Ugly Bill that strips health care from nearly a million people MORE than the version passed by the House. All to give tax breaks to big corporations and billionaires.

Call Congress NOW and tell them to VOTE NO at (202) 224-3121.

Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice.

Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice.

Cutting food assistance for children is a policy choice.

Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice.

Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP are choosing to do this.

The success Senate Democrats have had gutting some of the miseries of this bill is so great, I'm shocked there's still a Senate Parliamentarian.

RFK Jr. says U.S. will stop funding global vaccine alliance Gavi Gavi works to expand access to vaccines for children in some of the world’s poorest countries. Health experts say the move could have deadly consequences.

Let’s be absolutely clear. This decision, based on fringe conspiracy theories, will kill children.
