In all the chaos, I would urge folks to remember that a lot of folks now don’t know when their next check will come.

The vast majority are good people who love this nation deeply, and many of them are still working despite not knowing when they’ll be paid

Have compassion.

Start your morning with two minutes of the testimony of Samuel Garcia, an average American who drove 3 hours to speak truth to power to the Texas legislature. Let’s decide that we are all Samuel Garcia. Get in their faces and make them listen. Mr. Garcia is a great American.

Your oyster makes the world feel a little better. Thank you

The image features the American flag in the background, with a prominent bald eagle, which is a national symbol of the United States, superimposed in the foreground. The text at the top reads "LAND OF THE FREE," and the text at the bottom reads "HOME OF THE WORLD'S LARGEST PRISON POPULATION." This juxtaposition of imagery and text seems to convey a critical commentary on the notion of freedom in the United States, highlighting the paradox of having a large prison population.

I don't need solutions to my problems, I need punchlines to my jokes.

This is Nick Begich (R-Alaska). If he votes for the bill,
37,000 of his constituents lose access to their healthcare.
27,000 of his constituents lose access to their food assistance.
578 energy jobs in his district will disappear.

They've been made wary of "Big Pharma," all the while "Big Wellness" has been robbing them blind. Make America Gullible Again.

Happy independence day, y'all

Graphic showing percentages of population covered by Medicaid. Text reads: more than half of children in 26 Washington counties are covered by Medicaid

Medicaid touches health care in every stage of life, for Washingtonians in every corner of our state.

Federal cuts to Medicaid would be felt by all Washingtonians, regardless of ZIP code or party affiliation.

Here in Washington state, 3,866,398 acres are on the line. This includes some of the most carbon-dense forest in the world, with immeasurable value for climate resilience, biodiversity conservation, and human health and well-being.

Badass!

Bet it smells like ass in there too.

Protest sign NO KINGS HANDS OFF My tans child My $, civil liberty, healthcare The Rule of Law Environmental Protection National Parks The Arts Our Truthful History And too much chaos to list on one poster #Trump’s America Global Embarrassment

The revolution is full of 60-year-old women who love their trans kids.

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously

But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state

Keep that same energy of support for her

The same guy telling you LA is on fire, told you people were eating dogs in Ohio.

Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop workers from organizing. Keep up the fight.

Waiting to hear! My AmeriCorps program was put on a "pause" April 25th and officially terminated May 28th after the 30-day window was over. I sure would like my job back and to finish my term of service!

This is my favorite thing I've ever read in my entire life

Sorry to step away from the catfight, but we’ve got a win! A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s attempt to dismantle AmeriCorps halting the termination of grants and its volunteer network!

Two horrible things happened in DC in the dead of night but if this big ugly bill passed by the House becomes law, I'm afraid it's going to kill a lot more than two people

Bringing this to Bsky bc @steverattner.bsky.social hasn't posted it yet and it's so critical. The entirety of the cuts to Medicaid and food benefits are to pay for tax cuts for people earning more than half a million a year.

Call Congress: 202-224-3121

House Republicans passed their bill that’d rip health insurance from millions and take food assistance away from millions including households with kids as young as 7 in the largest Medicaid and SNAP cuts in history - while giving giant tax cuts to the rich.

Thread on the next steps of the process.

The “big, beautiful” bill ain’t beautiful—it’s bullshit.

House Republicans just voted for the largest cut to SNAP & Medicaid in U.S. history—turning their backs on their own damn constituents: the working people they were sent here to represent.

They don’t serve the people. They serve the rich.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

Not so much "strain" as it is "backing over repeatedly with a bulldozer whilst singing karaoke"

"And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State."

Article I, Section 9, Clause 8

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.
