State Department firings will hit Trump admin’s ability to tackle its own priorities, sources say | CNN Politics The mass firing of State Department employees could significantly impact the Trump administration’s ability to address the priorities it has said it values, multiple former and current department offi...

The purge at the State Department means fewer people investigating passport fraud, fewer experts to help Americans in crises abroad, and fewer intelligence analysts to stop the next attack. Hollowing out our diplomatic readiness makes us all less safe.

This is a meaningless trick. A court cannot violate rule 6(e), which prohibits public disclosure.

Let’s be clear about what Trump’s so-called “Big” bill really does: It makes America small by restricting growth and innovation—and makes Americans sicker by ripping away health care for millions.

It’s not a triumph. It’s a tragedy.

For years, we've watched Republicans fold to Donald Trump and help him take a sledge hammer to our democracy and the rule of law.

Now they're helping him take a hammer to Medicaid and America's health care system.

While Americans hang flags and light fireworks to celebrate #July4th, Republicans are gutting Medicaid and ripping health care from millions to fund tax breaks for billionaires.

It's a betrayal of the values we celebrate on the 4th: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

A lot has changed since. With Republican majorities targeting our rights and attempting to silence our voices, let's remember the words @hillaryclinton.bsky.social left us with in 2016: Never stop believing that fighting for what's right is worth it. America is worth it.

10 years ago today, I took this blurry photo at
@hillaryclinton.bsky.social's campaign HQ after we learned the news: SCOTUS had legalized marriage equality. A moment of joy, hope, pride (and champagne) — of gratitude for those who fought for that day and a deep belief in America's promise.

The map for this Saturday's nationwide #NoKingsDay peaceful protests — this is what democracy looks like.

Put however you feel about Musk aside:

The President threatening retaliation against a private citizen for supporting political candidates of their choosing should alarm every American.

“It’s not a big beautiful bill, it’s a big betrayal of the middle class.”

So the President who raised tariffs and imposed taxes on the American people because he wants more products Made in the USA is having a new Air Force One made in...Qatar?

Not by the hands of American workers?

As an illegal gift?

What will it truly cost the American people?

Will Trump's new Air Force One come with a "Made in Qatar" label?
