Did y’all hear how it passed? Four House Republicans changed their votes to YES – after Trump gave them signed MAGA hats and selfies.

They got a signed merch and a photo op.
17 million people lost healthcare.

That’s the trade. That’s the Republican Party.

so let me get this straight—the NYT accepted hacked information given to them by a substack white supremacist to be used against a mayoral candidate?

Remember when @schumer.senate.gov capitulated on the govt shutdown and said they would save their fight for now? The BBB just passed so there is no way to fight. The Dems won’t have an opportunity to stop anything from the GOP for a year

Update: Abrego Garcia's Civil & Criminal Cases The Civil Case

Update: Abrego Garcia's Civil & Criminal Cases. The cases, civil and criminal, against Abrego Garcia say a lot more about our government than they do about the man our government wanted to deport. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

the lesson of this isn't that tucker carlson is actually good but that you should ask these people basic factual questions instead of bullshit about politics

Elon Musk illegally fired thousands of workers and tried to dismantle our government.

I voted to subpoena him in @oversightdemocrats.house.gov, because the people deserve accountability. We won't let him get away with it.

This is an excellent and important interview. I urge people to listen.

The threat to a free press from Trump is real.

That’s an awesome video.

One of the best gifts ever! #GoIrish

Oops! Republicans in Congress keep accidentally telling the truth.

They can call it “reform.” They can keep trying to lie.

But every Republican in Congress wants to cut Medicaid to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

And every American should know it.

Trump admits businesses were booming under the Biden administration

Inflation rose in January. Working people are struggling to make ends meet. Trump’s newly planned tariffs will make the The Truth About Trump’s Tariffs

Walmart's CEO announced this week it will pass the cost of Trump's tariffs onto consumers by raising prices.

As I've been saying, tariffs aren't paid by other countries. They're eventually paid by us at the checkout line. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfVGUiet39E

Swing voters are often characterized as “moderate,” even though every election shows us more and more that they’re really “change voters.” They’re not loyal to any ideology, they want something different, because the status quo isn’t working.

This is why I believe it’s best to run campaigns based on bold, transformational change. You draw swing voters AND inspire new voters to get involved. It’s both good policy and politics!

Clickbait!

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.

It’s insane to me that a known drunkard who works on Fox and hasn’t prosecuted a case in decades is going to be the US Attorney for Washington DC. The constant stupid is both terrifying and exhausting.

Take this MAGAS, during his first mass as pope, Pope Leo XIV (the first American pope) had two women read scripture

MEEKS: Does trade deficits constitute a national emergency?

BESSENT: Yes

MEEKS: Do you know that for the last four decades we have trade deficits and nobody said it was a national emergency?

Orlando City Commissioner Tony Ortiz just switched from Republican to Democratic.

“The Republican Party is not the party I signed up with... The marginalization of Latinos and immigrants—many of whom have helped build this country—is not leadership. It’s fear-based politics.”

NEW: Republican Jefferson Griffin has conceded the North Carolina Supreme Court race to Democratic incumbent Allison Riggs — finally bringing an end to the last unresolved contest from the 2024 election.

I was honored to celebrate the powerhouse Class of 2025 at Tougaloo College. Thank you for letting me share this moment with you —and for the incredible honor of an honorary doctorate. Y’all are ready to change the world. Now go SET IT OFF!

YouTube video by Congressman Greg Casar Congressman Greg Casar: Why Would Republicans Cut Funding to Fight Antisemitism?

Antisemitism is an assault on all of our values.

So why would Republicans cut funding to address hate crimes or protect synagogues?

Republicans are not trying to keep Jewish students safe. They're trying to keep the Israeli government safe from any form of criticism.
