We need fighters willing to stand up and lead on this.
On the top of the horror of the Senate bill, another depressing aspect is watching all the Democrats and Democratic groups spring into action with their boilerplate fundraising emails about "fighting back" and "not giving up."
Just complete and total autopilot. No real leadership or inspiration.
Donald Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' is a 1,116-page wrecking ball for America. It dismantles our social safety nets, sells out our future, and lines the pockets of the wealthy. Thatβs not βAmerica First'-it's selling our economy to the highest bidder.

One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears.
They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.
David is right. What JD Vance is saying is nothing is more important than destroying this countryβs basic principles and crash the economy to expel a population he doesnβt like.
There are other options! Ones that actually make this country BETTER, not WORSE.
So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

They want people to be afraid to come here, so theyβre sending them to the worst places they can find.
Whichever way you look at it, trump aint human!
RIP Pope Francis π
βIt's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help.
If I say I am Christian, but do these things, I'm a hypocrite."
-Pope Francis
Kind, decent, and compassionate, Pope Francis was badly out of step with contemporary western culture.
