One Big Deadly Bill A groundbreaking study shows how many American lives the Republican megabill is likely to cost.

"Wyse and Meyer wrote a letter to the Wall Street Journal editorial page, making these and other points—and arguing that GOP Medicaid cuts would lead to 10,000 premature deaths a year. The Journal declined to run it."

Here it is.

Speaker Mike Johnson wants you to know, "I'm grateful to God for being able to get this Bill done. Our rights did not come from the government; they came from God himself."

On behalf of Democracy loving Americans, I say this to Speaker Mike Johnson: Go F*ck Yourself.

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

They’re assaulting the mothers and fathers of US soldiers.

Roving gangs of masked men grab human beings off the street.

They send them without due process to prisons in countries they’re not even from where they are then sold into slavery.

Make it stop!!!

Political violence must always be condemned.

Islamic radicals everywhere rejoice

HAPPENING NOW: New Yorkers are protesting against ICE’s illegal arrest of NYC comptroller Brad Lander.

ICE is driving through the inner city now in military tanks to kidnap children off the streets and @governor.ca.gov thinks his lawsuit is enough

"We are devastated and heartbroken at the loss of our parents, Melissa and Mark. They were the bright lights at the center of our lives, and we can't believe they are gone. Their love for us was boundless. We miss them so much. "We want everyone to know that we are both safe and with loved ones. We are grateful for the outpouring of love and support we have received, and we appreciate your respect for our family's privacy as we grieve. "Our family would like to thank law enforcement for their swift action that saved others and for the coordination across communities that led to the arrest of the man who murdered our parents. We especially would like to thank the officers who were first on the scene to our parents' home and their heroic attempts to rescue our mom and dad. "Our parents touched so many lives, and they leave behind an incredible legacy of dedication to their community that will live on in us, their friends, their colleagues and co-workers, and every single person who knew and loved them. "If you would like to honor the memory of Mark and Melissa, please consider the following: • Plant a tree. • Visit a local park and make use of their amenities, especially a bike trail. • Pet a dog. A golden retriever is ideal, but any will do. • Tell your loved ones a cheesy dad joke and laugh about it. • Bake something — bread for Mark or a cake for Melissa, and share it with someone. • Try a new hobby and enjoy learning something. • Stand up for what you believe in, especially if that thing is justice and peace. "Hope and resilience are the enemy of fear. Our parents lived their lives with immense dedication to their fellow humans. This tragedy must become a moment for us to come together. Hold your loved ones a little closer. Love your neighbors. Treat each other with kindness and respect. The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else."

Please read and share this statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark.

Governor Tim Walz, "The way our nation moves forward is not through hate. It is not through violence. It is through humility, and grace, and compassion.

felt compelled to look up ICE authority for warrantless arrests

if I'm reading this correctly, the circumstances under which ICE can arrest a citizen are basically limited to 'I literally saw you commit a felony and you're about to escape and no one's gonna be able to get a warrant'

this aint that

An active duty service member has been sent to a mental health facility against his will after speaking out about ICE’s legal and humanitarian abuses. TikTokers took action, including writing @governor.ca.gov /

As they’re trying to do the right thing

Federal agents handcuff and detain New York City mayoral candidate Brad Lander was taken into custody at an immigration court in Lower Manhattan.

Zohran Mamdani, who recently cross-endorsed with Lander, called for the comptroller’s immediate release. “This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice,” said Mamdani.

BREAKING | Comptroller Brad Lander arrested at ICE court hearing | amNewYork City Comptroller Brad Lander was arrested and accosted by masked federal agents at immigration court in Lower Manhattan.

Trump does not want a peacefully prosperous nation. He is trying to provoke, antagonize and incite. Do not ignore this act of tyranny. www.amny.com/news/brad-la...

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds.

He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings.

He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights.

This is political intimidation.

😅🤣

Dad: "Twerking hard or hardly twerking?"

WE HAVE QUESTIONS…

This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they?

ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants.

How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

Singer Nezza was told to sing the national anthem in English at the Dodgers game - she sang it in Spanish anyway. The crowd cheered as she finished “The Star-Spangled Banner” en español 🇺🇸🇨🇴🇩🇴

The Spanish version was commissioned by the US govt in 1945 to foster better relations with Latin America.

It most certainly is!

BREAKING: 87 year old veteran was released from the D.C. jail after being arrested Friday on the Capitol steps while protesting the Trump parade.

Asked how it felt to be arrested at 87, he replied, 'I'm just beginning, my friend.'

Trump’s whole cartoon villain shtick might play at MAGA rallies, but he’s at the G7. PM Carney had to shut down a press conference. Trump is embarrassing our country on the world stage….again. The “please love me, Putin” routine is cringe.

My law firm is currently litigating 55 voting and election cases in 24 states. Two points:

This is a very large caseload for this point in the election cycle.

It is more evenly spread across states than usual which reflects the creep of voter suppression laws into even safe GOP states.

The National Institutes of Health's efforts to shut down research that doesn't align with the Trump administration’s political agenda is a direct attack on public health.

"June 14 may have signaled the start of a new chapter of his tenure. That is, a new chapter of pushback amid a sense of growing peril..."

PUTIN WAS KICKED OUT OF G8 in 2014 WHEN HE ANNEXED CRIMEA. TRUDEAU WAS ELECTED IN 2015.
