As a heart recipient, I have very mixed feelings on this. First it reminds me of the black market on organs. Then the race card in the South is in play disregarding norms with transplants. I ask myself what if a white man’s heart was given to save the life of an African American, without consent. I’

This year, I choose reflection over celebration.
Until freedom truly rings for everyone. What is freedom if some are still in cages? What is liberty if it’s not lived equally? No fireworks while families are caged, rights stripped, & justice is selective. I’m mourning.

Donald Trump just signed a bill into law that'll kick 17 million people off their health care and make it harder for families to put food on the table.

Republicans sold you out so billionaires can get even richer.

We won't let them forget.

The Grand Opening of an American Concentration Camp The Republicans are proudly calling it β€œAlligator Alcatraz.” Let’s call it what it is.

If your β€œleader” enjoys showing off concentration camps -you’re in a fascist cult.

β€œWe’d like to see them in many states,” Trump said. β€œAnd at some point, they might morph into a system where you’re going to keep it for a long time.”

This Native American toddler will likely die because of the Republicans vote to decimate Medicaid. She is awaiting a heart transplant that was going to be paid by Medicaid!

As you may know, my son Austin had a heart transplant. The operation started on Tuesday, June 24, 2025 and concluded the next day on the 25th. Austin is doing okay, but the last 24 hours have been a long and frightening experience for the family.

Of course, Ukraine didn't tell Trump about the surprise attack because it would no longer have been a surprise to Putin if Donald knew about it. I wonder if Zelensky was wearing a suit when he kept Donald & Vladimir in the dark. Probably not.

How The Trump Budget Bill Would Impact Kids
(It would be a disaster.)
Cut Healthcare:
Millions of kids lose access through Medicaid cuts & ACA marketplace changes.
Increase Food Insecurity: 
4 million kids lose SNAP food assistance.
Al Dangers: 
Strip states’ ability to protect kids from deep fakes and exploitation.

Fact: The House Republican bill takes health care away from millions of Americans. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

Every independent analysis is clear: the budget bill passed early this morning by the House GOP will gut essential programs like Medicaid and SNAP for working Americans, and make the ultra-wealthy richer.

We must do everything we can stop this bill in the Senate.

While many Americans were still asleep, Republicans in the House of Representatives passed Trump’s huge, horrible mega-bill.

It might be the worst, most damaging piece of legislation I’ve seen in my nearly 60 years in politics.
