Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.

A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.

If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."

Psaki: "It is possible that we will look back on [Friday's] ruling as the day when the fighting against Trump in the courts and the fight against Trump in the streets became one and the same."

Let me tell you how the Senate Republicans are making even deeper cuts to Medicaid than the House did.
 
Here are 3 things you should know as we fight to save Medicaid.

I don't think we're in a democracy anymore. Unmarked secret police kidnapping people off the street? A dictator mobilizing the military against civilians? Defying court orders? Ignoring due process? Arresting political opponents? Democracy has left the building. We CAN & MUST get it back, though.

AMEN

He Was Born in Philly and They Tried to Deport Him to Jamaica A Florida sheriff ignored proof of Peter Sean Brown’s U.S. citizenship and held him for ICE anyway. A federal court just ruled it was a blatant violation of his Fourth Amendment rights.

"This case highlights the significant threat posed to U.S. citizens by frequent ICE errors, which are exacerbated when local law enforcement agencies participate in immigration enforcement...”

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

What happened to Senator Padilla is absolutely DISGUSTING. Point blank, period.

This shit is out of control.

Another elected official disrespected while doing their job. (1/2)

Today they have crossed a deep red line.

We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Since I forget to send good news and we just got our first pet…

My youngest will be finished with elementary school this week. Having lots of feelings about this. Why can’t I just freeze time?

Federal judge dresses down Alina Habba:

Patmos library temporarily closes after staff resignations, community divided over leadership The Patmos Library Board of Trustees met Monday night to discuss next steps in both rebuilding their team and reopening their doors after five staff members resigned, drawing in a mixed crowd.

Patmos Library closes after majority of staff resign “We're really, really upset and disappointed with the outcome today. This was definitely not what we all were expecting today."

Star Wars Intro Scroll Episode IV It Was All So Stupid Seriously, you would not believe how stupid it was. Every day, unrelentingly, just the dumbest stuff by the absolute worst people. And what made it worse was knowing that we’d brought this on ourselves.

Warnock: Georgia officials said they were sorry but their hands were tied, you can’t vote the first weekend of the runoff after the holiday so I decided to untie them, I sued them. And I won… They appealed asking for emergency relief. Emergency relief from what? People voting?

Crockett: If we’re going to talk about numbers and mandates, it is the reason that the only person in modern times to have the lowest approval ratings at their 100 day mark is the same person the first time they were in and now this time

Ppl oppose almost everything this administration is doing, when they’re told what those things are. But most people aren’t!

YouTube video by PoliticsGirl They're Scared

Senator Lisa Murkowski just said that she and her colleagues are afraid & anxious because retaliation from the president is real. This is not normal or right. Our leader is a tyrant, but the same people who are scared, are the ones who could actually stop him.
