The One Ugly Distraction let ACA premium tax credits expire—jacking up health care costs for 22M Americans. In VA, a 55-year-old making $63K will pay $2,410 more just to keep their plan.

Working families pay the price for GOP cruelty.

I sat across the deposition table from Ghislaine Maxwell when she lied repeatedly – one question after the next. We have witnessed that again with the release of Maxwell’s interview where this convicted felon repeatedly and brazenly lied on the record to the government. Maxwell ruined countless young lives with impunity for too long. Her effort to recreate history and distance herself from Epstein should not and will not be tolerated. The documents don’t lie, the multiple witnesses that testified against her at trial didn’t lie – the only person lying is Maxwell.

Virginia Giuffre’s lawyer Sigrid McCawley reacts to the Maxwell transcripts, saying Maxwell “repeatedly and brazenly lied” to the government and is trying to “recreate history.”

Multiple times this year I’ve had coffee with fellow immigrants who grew up in corrupt third world countries and the shared sentiment has been that Americans don’t understand how bad things are going to get.

Friends Fans, Lisa Kidrow is so funny. She impersonated the Taco Cult to a T! #arresttrump

Personal stories have power! James tells us how Medicaid helps him live a full life and provides a night nurse so his parents “can sleep and not become
horrible monsters every day.”

Opinion | Trump’s Perversion of Justice Has Reached a New Phase

"Donald Trump is determined to transform America’s system of justice into his personal political weapon, and now Breonna Taylor’s family bears the fresh pain of a new and terrible miscarriage of justice." www.nytimes.com/2025/07/20/o...

Kamala Harris campaigned on making home care part of Medicare, which would’ve greatly eased the issue of caring for our parents.

But Trump won so we not only didn’t get that, we’re getting devastation of nursing homes as well.

This is going to ruin a lot of families.

cant believe that this response from a sitting member of Congress from Florida, to one of his Dem colleagues, is real

Good morning 🫡

This book is riveting and so, so infuriating. It follows 5 families in Atlanta who are struggling to remain housed and paints deeply compassionate portraits of each unit. It reads almost like a novel but is outstanding journalism

This guy is like one of 4 Americans who actually went and got their REAL ID and immediately they said it was a fake.

Just so everyone knows when they toss your ass in a truck it won't matter what passport or identification you have they'll throw it in the street and you're gone

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life.

Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever.

Our problem isn't a lack of resources.

Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

They're firing black people from the federal government. That's it. There's no nuance to this. It's just racism straight up.

Court rules Alabama redistricting intentionally discriminates against Black voters A federal court says Alabama can't use a congressional map it found unconstitutional. The ruling comes in a voting rights case that resulted in the state getting a second Black member of Congress.

ICE is the Gestapo.

Full stop.

How about some basic rules?
--All law enforcement officers should wear identification
--No law enforcement officers should be allowed masks
--All law enforcement officers should wear and use body cams
...oh and...
--All law enforcement officers should understand, respect & follow the law

Here’s a preview of the coming clash with SCOTUS which has already confirmed noncitizens are entitled to due process. “Sudden deportation” violates the Constitution.

Page One must have been crowded.

So NYT puts it on Page 13. 🤡

Indoctrination.

Fatality Reports | Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA)

Let's talk about mine safety real quick.

There have been 12 mine fatalities so far in 2025. In the same period in 2024, there were 5. So while the administration is making cuts at MSHA and delaying the implementation of the much-needed silica rule, the number of miners dying has more than doubled.

United Airlines Cancels Newark Flights After FAA Staff Walks Out United has been urging the government to limit the number of flights to what an airport can realistically manage based on staffing, CEO Scott Kirby said.

WSJ: After tech to manage air traffic failed several times in recent days, 20% of the FAA controllers at Newark Airport walked out.

Now, United has canceled 35 daily RT flights from Newark. FAA staffing at Newark is too low to handle the planes scheduled, United's CEO said. Gift link!

They literally did the Onion article. Agents posted up outside her hospital room.

AmeriCorps members who respond to disasters and help nonprofits are let go in DOGE cuts Young volunteers who respond to natural disasters and help with community projects across the U.S. have been discharged.

Trump and DOGE's recent dismantling of AmeriCorps has had a profound effect on community safety and resilience, particularly in disaster-prone areas.​

These cuts hit home for me and have affected many of my AmeriCorps/CERT (Community Emergency Response Team)...

"Their mission is not to work across the aisle to make government faster and cleaner. As has been made very clear in the two years since Republicans retook the majority, their mission instead is to generate allegations of impropriety by their political opponents while shielding their allies."

Lindsey just wants access to all those altar boys.

Trump's attack on ActBlue's "dark money" was backed by dark money Elon Musk helped fund an effort to gin up fraud claims against the donation platform.

Another fake scandal ginned up by the right and Elon Musk--that Trump has seized upon to target his political enemies in a brazen abuse of power.

A road map through Trump’s lawlessness, defiance of our judiciary; undermining 1st Amendment freedoms, targeting law firms, universities, the press and other parts of civil society; impounding federal funds authorized by Congress; eroding immigrant rights; and his drive to consolidate power.
