House passes tax and immigration bill, sending it to Trump’s desk Republicans passed a mammoth tax and immigration agenda they hope will reshape the U.S. economy and unwind many of the Biden administration’s accomplishments.

MAGA can celebrate for now -- and I understand Trump gave out signed "swag" gifts to win over any holdouts.

May their joy be brief. They have sown havoc in our nation, rather than any celebration of Independence Day.

Hakeem Jeffries breaks record for longest House floor speech while opposing GOP tax bill Democratic leader spoke for more than eight hours to rail against Trump’s sweeping tax-and-spending bill

Stand and deliver!

Jeffries spent more than eight hours sharing stories of Americans across the country who will be hurt by the bill, which he says takes a “chainsaw” to Medicare, Medicaid, nutritional assistance for hungry children and vulnerable Americans.

Pardoned Jan. 6 Rioter Who Threatened Police Joins Justice Dept.

What could possibly go wrong??

Alligator Alcatraz Isn’t Just a Prison. It’s a Mirror. And It’s Asking Us: Who Are We, Really? The most dangerous thing about Alligator Alcatraz isn’t the alligators. It’s the message...

Excellent observations and questions. Who would YOU like to be in this world? Do these activities tickle your fancy, or not? If they don't, please tell your Representatives and Senators like I just did.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Yes it’s true, and deadly.

Trump accelerates push to reward loyalty in federal workforce Many critics say the administration is scrapping a nonpartisan, merit-based civil service in favor of a biased, politicized system.

The Godfather demanding “loyalty.”

Slowly, Ukrainian Women Are Beginning to Talk About Sexual Assault in the War

The part they fear to tell us about Russian occupation. Even if the war ended today, there are years of horror to heal from.

A conundrum. 😳😉

Honoring those who have fought and died to protect freedom and democracy not just in the US, but all over the world.

Wow — this makes my head spin, especially knowing some of the people who lost their homes.

'Hidden' provision in Trump's big bill could disarm US Supreme Court The provision would bar courts from enforcing contempt citations for violations of injunctions or temporary restraining orders unless a bond has been paid.

Good grief -- they are trying to make it so they can ignore court rulings with even more impunity, and are burying this within a 1000+ page bill. Time to raise holy hell with our Senators, since that's where this monstrosity goes next.

Trump Backs Off His Demand That Russia Declare a Cease-Fire in Ukraine

Complete travesty of justice, and more exploitation for potential business opportunities.

We all have a tell. 😄😉

He remains consistent in his brand.

Senator Booker calls a spade a spade — in this case “corporate violence” by pharmaceutical companies.

I understand that Snopes found this to be false.

YouTube video by 60 Minutes How law firms targeted by Trump are responding to White House pressure | 60 Minutes

Trump will likely go ballistic that this 60 Minutes episode even aired, but we all need to see it. His stance on many issues has been along the lines of “I can interpret the Constitution however I want to, and I can deploy the DOJ to punish anyone who disagrees with me.”

Looks like he can’t even stand his own stench, in that meme.

Oh, myyyyyy. 👀

BREAKING New York's Catholic Bishops' Conference Responds to President Trump as Pope AI Image Posted by the White House "Do not mock us." Catholic Church, Catholic News World, Vatican, Pope Francis, Breaking, Pope News, c na, Catholic Headlines,

Grateful to see a response to this, from the New York State Catholic Conference.
“There is nothing clever or funny about this image, Mr. President. We just buried our beloved Pope Francis, and the cardinals are about to enter a solemn conclave to elect a new successor of St. Peter. Do not mock us.”

Ukraine Rejects Russian Call for a Three-Day Cease-Fire (Gift Article) President Volodymyr Zelensky called the proposal a “theatrical show” and said such a short truce would not bolster negotiations for a lasting peace.

I appreciate the bold honesty of this man, as he calls a spade a spade.

Either legislators are voluntarily removing their spines before entering the meeting hall, or they actually believe that democracy is antiquated and needs to die. Their actions (and non-actions) yield similar results -- and they're out of step with the rest of us! Which is it, do you think??

How public health has been upended in Trump’s first 100 days More than 20,000 jobs were eliminated, billions of dollars in scientific research has been threatened or paused, and a budget draft proposes a major restructuring of Health and Human Services.

This is winning? Making America healthy again?

OMFG. How to stop a continuously rolling and growing turd-ball?

Trump administration dismisses all authors of major climate report, throwing US assessment into limbo | CNN The Trump administration has dismissed all the scientists and other authors working on the next authoritative look at how climate change is affecting the United States, according to an email sent to a...

A Trump-supporting friend told me me that there is no such thing as climate change. I guess this is how her idol annihilates facts about reality.

Um-hmm. Duly noted. 😳

Pretty well says it all. 😳

It’s just a matter of time before the righteous indignation erupts — and the only one to blame will be Trump.

Thank you, Canada!
