Somehow, it just doesn't feel like a typical July 4th.

🚨The GOP provision to DEFUND Planned Parenthood is staying in the Big Ugly bill. Clinics will shutter. Women will lose access to cancer screenings, birth control, and basic care.

I will be forcing a vote to try to strip it out.

Fight like hell. We need to kill this bill.

The House just voted that “each day for the remainder of the 119th Congress shall not constitute a calendar day for purposes of section 202 of the National Emergencies Act.” A day is not a day. Lewis Carroll, George Orwell, and Franz Kafka must all be chuckling — or weeping.

What an embarrassment

A former Social Security official describes the hostile takeover by Elon Musk’s team The declaration is the first in-depth public account from a high-ranking government executive of how Musk’s team is operating at one of dozens of agencies.

Tiffany Flick, former SSA Chief of Staff, just exposed how Musk’s DOGE boys hijacked the SSA—ignoring laws, crushing oversight, and executing an aggressive coup to serve their own interests.

This isn’t just corruption; it’s a hostile takeover of our safety net.

Swalwell: The stock market is crashing, and prices are rising. This guy has gone to the Super Bowl, the Daytona 500, and a UFC fight. He should go to the fucking supermarket and see what people are spending to feed themselves

HERO vs ZERO
I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore.

Just heard from a friend who is a true hero veteran. His company was destroyed in 30 days by the VA when they canceled 5 contracts without notice. 23 Americans mostly veterans out of work and a veteran owned small business destroyed. For nothing. They're dismantling the VA not "reforming" it.

PLEASE: Watch what happened in Coeur d'Alene Idaho today. This is fascism. Unmarked cops. 1A violations. RESIST.

May be terminal

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot.

REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

Those of us who work in gender medicine are not going anywhere What’s more, we’re expanding.

“We’re not going anywhere. What’s more: we’re expanding.”

Nearly a dozen of Minnesota’s foremost experts on gender-affirming care collaborated on this beautiful op-ed in today’s Strib. No paywall.

The wreckage of the missing Bering Air plane was found southeast of Nome, Alaska.

The U.S. Coast Guard has confirmed that at least 3 people are dead.

Crickets all day from Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.

Oh, Elon resigned ?

I warned you, Raffensperger is no hero. He is a GOP vote suppressor.
