A few carve outs for Alaska does not make this Bill more palatable.

If you vote against our interests or the interest of the American people, we will vote against you.

Next up to fill the heatโ€”Rep Nick Begich โ€“ AK.

Senate rulekeeper deals blows to revised โ€˜Big, beautiful billโ€™ A Medicaid carveout for Alaska was among the โ€œByrd bathโ€ casualties.

HAPPY JUNETEENTH!!!

Daily reminder Trump is a RACIST who instead of celebrating the end of slavery said he wants us to get back to work. No Donald we are just fine with having a holiday to celebrate the end of slavery and yes itโ€™s a well deserved paid holiday!

Sen. Elissa Slotkin just RIPPED INTO Hegseth for refusing to say whether Trump conveyed an order to shoot protestersโ€”an order Trump's previous SecDef had the courage to reject.

FIFA Club World Cup Ticket Sales TANK After DHS Says Agents Will Be At Stadium Tickets to the opening match that were once $349 (and up) could be had for just $4.

People are not going to attend the World Cup after DHS announced they will be there suited and booted ready to provide security at the games.

This is a dry run for the Olympics nobody will come to America to be met by DHS agents.

Trump leaves G7 summit early after "evacuate Tehran" warning "What a shame, and waste of human life."

Trump runs away from the G7 within hours not wanting to sign joint statement with world leaders saying he needs to be in D.C. to handle Middle East then post for Tehran to evacuate then Tehran is hit.

Trump is our biggest national security risk.

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ Trumpโ€™s VA just allowed doctors to deny care to Democrats, unmarried Veterans, among other groups.

This isnโ€™t healthcare. Itโ€™s political purity tests for people who risked their lives for this country.

Itโ€™s unethical, authoritarian, and every one of us should be outraged.

Local news here reported hundreds of thousands at Trumpโ€™s birthday parade, and tens of thousands at No Kings rallies around the country.

Reverse that, you bootlicking, servile cowards.

The leader of the โ€œProud Boys,โ€ Enrique Tarrio, pardoned by his insurrectionist buddy, showed at Miamiโ€™s โ€œNo Kingsโ€ rally to declare himself a white supremacist and say he will be personally deporting those who look just like him.

Self-loathing seems to be a trademark of MAGA.

Itโ€™s not as though leadership wasnโ€™t warned or aware of this happening and everyone stood by until now.

Heโ€™s been planning for this since the beginning of his term and so has Hegseth. We need strong leadership across the board to hold this administration accountable!

While Trump throws himself a birthday parade, Democrats are reclaiming the flag.

Veterans in Congress are standing up to say what needs to be said:

Patriotism doesnโ€™t belong to one party. The flag belongs to the peopleโ€”and sure as hell not to a draft-dodging wannabe dictator.

Pope Leo is sending Trump a clear message about how he intends to lead.

The first U.S. bishop appointed by Pope Leo XIVโ€”a refugee himselfโ€”is mobilizing priests to accompany migrants to immigration court on June 20th, which also marks International Refugee Day.

Thank you, Pope Leo.

Trump stood at Fort Bragg and hijacked a moment meant to honor the Armyโ€™s legacyโ€”turning it into a spectacle for his own ego.

He mocked political opponents, spread lies, and vowed to restore Confederate base names.

Our Troops deserve respect. What they got was a dictatorโ€™s stunt.

There are no orders for these troops, they are operating illegally and they donโ€™t even know it. We need to educate them!

Posse Comitatus Act prevents our military from acting in this capacity the only way troops can interact with civilians is if you invoke the Insurrection Act.

Between the $45M parade, the Qatari plane, and $134M to flood LA with Troopsโ€”this isnโ€™t national defense. Itโ€™s Trump playing dictator with your money.

He calls it patriotism while firing Veterans and slashing their care.

We see it for what it is.

โ€œThe whole world is watching.โ€ โ€” U.S. Navy Veteran

Trump is sending Troops into American streets not to protect peopleโ€”but to provoke a crisis he can stomp out for show.

This isnโ€™t strength. Itโ€™s authoritarianism in real time.
