#SNAP recipients aren't the only ones who will suffer from Trump's obscene failure to provide this life-saving benefit.

Farmers, retail owners,
truck drivers, employees
of multiple outlets... the list goes on.

Once again, your taxpayer dollars are not being spent on the needs of our citizens.

Honestly. Mine will just casually slip in mid-conversation β€œoh your dad’s having surgery next week” like it’s an afterthought, but spend the rest of the conversation talking about the cat. What?!

Hey Brian Kilmeade,

Check to see if your hands have blood on them.

This is the second mass shooting on a homeless people within 12 hours.

New Bill Would Allow Rubio to Strip US Citizens’ Passports Over Political Speech The legislation would allow the Secretary of State to strip anyone’s US passport with no legal due process.

The Draconian #HR5300 bill introduced by Rep. Brian Mast (R) gives #MarcoRubio the power to revoke the passport of anyone critical of this regime's foreign policy.

Please use www.pleasegrowaspine.org to tell EVERY Rep that this is not only insanity, it is ANTI-AMERICAN.

For everyone saying political violence has no place in this country…

Remember two Democratic legislators were shot in Minnesota just this year.

And America shrugged and moved on.

Public service announcement - if you want a Covid vaccine this year, be sure to check the β€œconditions” that would qualify a person under 65 for the vaccine. You might be surprised by the list!

They're openly calling to lock up every trans person by force. We need every ally to speak out forcefully against this because trans folks cannot do this on our own.

IT DOESN’T

IT DOESN’T DO THAT AT ALL

IT REFRAMES PREVENTABLE DEATHS AS INEVITABLE AND VICTIMS AS WILLING MARTYRS WHO ARE ACTUALLY BETTER OFF DEAD NOW

IT IS A DIABOLICAL THING TO SAY IF YOU ARE IN A POSITION TO STOP THIS SHIT AND REFUSING TO DO IT

What Danielle said.

According to the Yale Budget Lab, the average effective tariff rate in this economy right now is 18.2%

Let me put that another way.

President Trump has raised taxes on American businesses and consumers by -- on average -- 18.2%

This week, Trump ended the 988 hotline service that has helped many of our LGBTQ+ neighbors during moments of crisis.

This is cruel, it is dangerous, and it could be deadly.

To our LGBTQ+ siblings: we see you, we love you, & there are resources available to you.

The Rot At the Top The cruelty is the fucking point.

They want you angryβ€”but not at them. They want you seething, desperate to find someone to blame. β€œThey.” β€œThem.” β€œThose people.” Immigrants. Trans kids. Black voters. Journalists. Protesters. Anyone and everyone but the billionaires robbing you blind.

Tax Cuts Now, Benefit Cuts Later: The Timeline in the Republican Megabill

NEW: Wait, so when does all that stuff in the Senate tax bill take effect?

It was the single most frequent question we received, so a team of reporters put together an overview.

In short: Tax cuts now, big and costly benefit cuts later after the election www.nytimes.com/2025/07/02/u...
