If the House passes this bill, it will increase costs and hurt working class families for generations to come. Call your representative today and tell them to vote no on this bill.

Absolutely ZERO empathy for anyone and everyone in this regime or who voted for them all.

โEvery dictator who has ever cracked down on political opposition has done so by rendering them internal foreigners in rhetoric and deed, invaders of the body politic who can justly be crushed like insects.โ

Democrats have been asked to disavow Zohran more than Republicans have been asked to disavow the guy who murdered two Democrats. Says a lot about how profoundly fucked up our political and media situation is right now.

Taco Tyrant bombing Iran without congressional approval is a war crime.
Only Congress is empowered to declare war: Art. I, Section 8, Clause 11 of the Constitution states: "The Congress shall have Power . . . To declare War". This is one of the key checks and balances within the US government, limiting the president's ability to unilaterally initiate armed conflict.
Absolutely outrageous. ๐ก
I hate when I go to bed early on a Saturday night and wake up Sunday morning only to discover weโve gone to war in the Middle East without the consent of Congress. ๐ก
He's been impeached before. They must vote to remove from office.
Just as Iraq had no WMD, Iran has no nuclear weapons. America has entered another unnecessary war in the Middle East
@crow.house.gov @schumer.senate.gov @hickenlooper.bsky.social Strongly worded letters aren't working.
Thank god you didn't elect that woman as president. With her uncontrollable emotions she would have done something crazy like bombing Iran by now!
What we learned yesterday. The Times They Are a-Changin'
Trumpism proceeds by the successive breaking of taboos. Each time a new one is broken, the previous one is normalized, made to look not so bad by comparison. The manhandling and cuffing of Sen. Alex Padilla was a red-line moment.
Free speech is not a crime โ full stop.

๐จ DOGE is gutting the VA right in front of us. Thousands of jobs gone. Mental health care slashed. Claims delayed. Vets left waitingโor left behind. This isnโt a budget decision. Itโs a betrayal of the people who served. If youโre not angry, youโre not paying attention.
States have enacted dozens of laws that make it harder for citizens to vote. New research by @brennancenter.org shows that these restrictions do in fact directly suppress the vote.
Alex Lawson to Rep. Miller-Meeks: Last time you spoke with us you lied to our face and said you wouldnโt vote for Medicaid cuts, but youโve voted for the largest cuts in the history of the country. Do you have any comment on the health care that 67,000 people in your district are going to lose?
I hope U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy does hold every single person involved in the illegal deportation of people to South Sudan against his injunction in contempt. These judges need to grow spines and hold people accountable.
I say without any irony or sarcasm: yes, thank you, we want parliamentary sabotage. Again, I'm 100% serious. It's one of the few things a minority party can do, and which Republicans themselves did. It's essential.
Boyle: We just verified with the congressional budget office and of 13.7 million Americans who will lose their health care because of their bill, exactly zero are undocumented immigrants

Thereโs a reason Republicans want to hide whatโs in their newly passed megabill. If that sounds like hyperbole, itโs not.
they are really going for it with mass detention and that means concentration camps, that means mass deaths, that means plenty of citizens rounded up too, especially political dissidents. if you still canโt see where this train is headed idk what to tell you anymore
What do you mean my strategy of running at 100% effort until I completely burn out and then beating myself up for not being able to do anything for like three days straight is "unsustainable" that's ridiculous

For the vast majority of above-ground public protests โdonโt bring your phoneโ is actually bad security advice. You are much more likely to need your phone to call for help or document police aggression than you are to be arrested later cuz your phone pinged a cell tower near the raging grannies
Senator Jim Banks (R) isnโt sorry he told a fired federal worker โhe probably deserved itโ. He went on to say the worker was โcomplaining about losing a left-wing woke job in the federal government that should have never been a job to begin withโ. The job was helping people with disabilities.

Look, I donโt know exactly who should replace Mr. Schumer as Minority Leader, but I wouldnโt be unhappy with Cory Booker, thatโs for sure.

Just in case you missed this from Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker: "Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face."
This is what corruption looks like.
Buliles never expect their targets to fight back. Keep fighting back.

Remember the saying that capitalism eventually collapses into fascism? Well American democracy and capitalism are quickly collapsing into a bad reality show starring a bunch of odd characters from conservative media, daytime TV and right wing podcasts, all covering for what sure looks like a heist.

@rbreich.bsky.social: โFor every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.โ

It should not be radical for the American Bar Association to say that it supports the rule of law. But right now, it is. Let's see some other orgs taking a similar stance.

"Run government like a business" is a bad idea for many reasons, but it's a particularly bad idea to run government like a business focused more on pleasing/bamboozling investors in the short-term than on, say, productivity and efficiency and reliability.
