One day, the record will make it clear: some defended democracy, others tried to help Trump destroy it with lies.

WATCH - @petebuttigieg.bsky.social: "The Epstein thing is an issue HE campaigned on… His response has revealed how gullible he thinks his own base is… there's enough there there that they said they’d push it out, and then they won't."

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Golden: America didn’t vote to silence workers. Polls shows that Americans of all political stripes support unions. That’s why the Protect America’s Workforce Act quickly gathered strong bipartisan support.

We know that if this bill comes to the House floor, we can win.

We don’t think we need an investigation to understand what happened here.

Irish tourist jailed by Ice for months after overstaying US visit by three days: ‘Nobody is safe’ Exclusive: For roughly 100 days, Thomas says he faced harsh detention conditions, despite agreeing to deportation

NEW: An Irish tourist visiting the US was jailed by ICE for 3 months after overstaying 3 days due to medical issue. Thomas agreed to be deported, but instead went to federal prison where he recounted horrific conditions + no medical care.

“Nobody's safe from the system if they get pulled into it"

In fairness to Kristi Cosplay Noem, "lots of small children drowning" is a tricky theme to find a cute little costume for.

Mike Johnson just said if you are for reducing the deficit, this bill is for you.

The bill adds 3-4 trillion dollars to the deficit.

They just lie.

Crockett: How is it that you can explain that we still are running up the credit card and we have nothing to show for it except for the fact that we won't have food on the tables and we won’t have health care.

"I’m sorry if I’m not adequately sympathetic to Lisa Murkowski’s plight, but she understands the consequences of her actions. She says the vote was difficult– she voted for it! That’s not difficult. You don’t get credit for doing the hard thing when you don’t actually DO the hard thing."

My daughter relies on Medicaid.

We don't "get" Medicaid.
We don't receive a check from Medicaid.

Medicaid covers her life-saving medical expenses.
Medicaid is health insurance.
Medicaid is health care.

That's what Medicaid is.

And that's why we need our senators to #VoteNo and #ProtectMedicaid.

Every single Republican who just voted to rip health care away from 17 million Americans has government-funded health care.

tfw you've just stripped healthcare from 17 million Americans and ensured the closure of rural hospitals

Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie.

One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears.

They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.

How far are Republicans willing to go to secure tax breaks for their billionaire buddies?

Cutting more than $1 TRILLION from Medicaid and kicking 17 million people off of their health care.

What nearly $1 trillion in cuts to healthcare would mean for our children’s hospitals.👇🏼

The White House says voting against this bill is a betrayal of the President.

But voting for it is actually a betrayal of hardworking Americans who need access to health care and grocery stores in rural communities.

Who are they going to put first? The choice should be easy.

I worked at Planned Parenthood.

They diagnose cancers while still treatable. They help women decide what birth control works for them. They help those working through mental health challenges.
 
Defunding them just harms people who already struggle to find places to get care.

From a distance you can see a mountain landscape with a blue sky and a few hazy clouds. on the sides of the picture you can see parts of trees. On the left in light green, on the right a smaller dark green tree further away. in the center is a black box on which is written in white “Only caring about your own right is exactly how you lose them”.

Everyone should read this:

"Our courts — the one institution that was supposed to safeguard us against tyranny — have officially broken their oath. And worse? They’re doing it faster than we can process the fallout."

The number of manifestly psychologically unwell people in the highest levels of this administration should be unsettling to the world.

The Supreme Court just made it easier for states to defund Planned Parenthood “Today’s decision…is a dangerous green light for politicians to target any providers they don’t like."

As a result, with today’s decision, the Supreme Court has removed one of the only practical ways to stop a state from punishing doctors it doesn’t like by kicking them out of the Medicaid program.
