NEW: The Texas Republican lawmaker who blocked Democrats’ effort to filibuster the state’s gerrymander suggested “shoot, shovel and shut up” as a way to deal with immigrants — a comment that could boost legal efforts to block the state’s map. From: @jenrice.bsky.social
And every single one of these CEO's would vote for him again. Love him or hate him Senator Sanders is correct about it all.
My big beautiful plan. All blue voters in TX leave and flood states like Ohio, Michigan and Georgia. All reds from states like Ohio and Georgia are required to move to Texas. Give Texas as much red as they want and flood the states we can win.
BREAKING: Rep. @khanna.house.gov reveals that only 3% of the documents given to the House Oversight Committee by the DOJ is new, and less than 1% of the Epstein files have been released.
Attempting to erase slavery from our history because it offends your "whiteness" only continues to show your racism and hate.
Trump did that.
"Fun 101 for cultural relevance" I can not believe he said that. Cultural relevance is not bowing down to everything the MAGA's tell you to do. Cultural relevance is acknowledging people of color need more platforms for their designs and creations not getting rid of them. Fun 101.......
He needs to stick to arguing about the need to limit food dye in people's food. Honestly, look at him he is the poster child for that. He could say something like, "Look at what food dyes did to me" or "Food dyes gave me brain worms" That is the only thing he should address.
No matter what the poll says the voters actually have to get out and VOTE for this. Let us hope that happens.
"Trump is asking Texas Republicans to redraw the maps that they just drew in 2021 to get him five more seats to protect his majority in Congress... It’s not just a Texas problem. It’s an American problem."
Go ahead.....use legal action against them because that same LEGAL action has to go for the red states too. Keep pushing back blue states! It is good to see governors of blue states fighting back!
“Across the country, Republicans are waging a calculated campaign to erase Black and Latino political power through extreme gerrymandering. This isn’t just about redrawing maps—it’s about dismantling representation and silencing communities that have fought the hardest to be heard.”
THE only way to stop this is to vote Republicans out in the mid terms. IF Texas redistricts then Democratic states better be ready to redistrict as well. It is time the Democrats actually stand up and do something. IF laws were put into place when they were in power this wouldn't have happened.
How do they say "a pardon" without being called "a pardon".....they call it a "work release".
MAGA doesn't care. They would pay 5 times this amount just to align themselves with their orange messiah.
Hahahahahaha OH PLEASE try to do this. Beto will eat them for lunch!
Donald Trump came into office promising to “end inflation.” Three months in, he declared he’d “already solved” it. And yet inflation is spiking—and the president has a plan to try and hide that reality from America. trib.al/CT8cO7A
When they brag about revenues from tariffs they are bragging about what they took from you.
@govpritzker.illinois.gov: "I've tried to remind [Canada and Mexico] that any retaliatory tariffs, they need to take into account that WE'RE not imposing these tariffs... They should be aiming these retaliatory tariffs on the states where the congressmen and Senators are going along with Trump."
AMERICAN CONSUMERS PAY THE TARIFFS. AMERICAN CONSUMERS PAY THE TARIFFS. AMERICAN CONSUMERS PAY THE TARIFFS.
Tariffs are a systematic attack on American prosperity. The arguments presented for tariffs are a sustained insult to American intelligence.
Powell: "Increased tariffs are pushing up prices in some categories of goods. Near-term measures of inflation expectations have moved up on balance over the course of this year on news about tariffs."
Why are we having to endure Trump tariffs ( taxes) What for???
How do we win back the youth vote? We... 👉Put organizers on campus 👉Meet them where they are online 👉Talk about things that actually matter to them We can do it — but we need to raise $3298 before midnight tonight. Can you chip in and support our GenZ-led work? secure.actblue.com/donate/votho...
NEW: The maker of Dawn dish soap, Charmin toilet paper, Crest toothpaste, and Tide detergent will raise prices in August because of Trump’s tariffs. Trump is making our lives more expensive — taking money directly out of your pocket.
Nevadans just have to open the morning paper to see that current policies aren't working for our local economy. As blanket tariffs and hostility towards our neighbors creates economic uncertainty, it's communities like ours that will pay the price.

Ghislaine Maxwell was granted limited IMMUNITY to speak to Trump's private attorney and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. The cover-up here is astounding.
Even Scott was like oh no this is not going to be good......
with her full pardon in hand I am certain.
Heckuva job Murkowski.

Trump is trying to distract you from Epstein. DON’T YOU LET HIM!
President Trump and his administration have been studying new sectoral tariffs that could cover a broad part of the American economy.
Brian Allen this is abhorrent 🤬🤬🤬🤬😪 🚨 BREAKING: ICE secretly deported Luis Leon, an 82-year-old torture survivor and U.S. legal resident of nearly 40 years, after he walked into an immigration office to replace a lost green card. Instead of processing the request, ICE handcuffed him, detained
The president hasn’t lowered costs for families. He hasn’t ended the war in Ukraine. He hasn’t released the Epstein Files. But he has made the largest cuts to Medicaid and SNAP in history to fund more tax breaks for billionaires, while adding trillions to the debt. abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory...
IF they release anything it won't be the truth. His MAGA followers will feel vindicated and life will continue to become more ignorant. PEOPLE VOTE IN LOCAL ELECTIONS AND MIDTERMS. Try to reach as many of these MAGA voters by using pictures and diagrams; I bet we can get 5 to change their votes!
People really voted for all of these idiots. They really really did. They literally had to make an effort to do vote for them. A REAL EFFORT. The people who voted for them is a wonderful example of what happens when you don't watch PBS......
It was the "woke" MAGA republicans. Besides, who needs news, educational shows and enrichment for our children when the "woke" MAGA's have places in their fields and factories for us. And women just need to be in the kitchen barefoot and pregnant or on their backs serving their husbands.
Trump will eventually need an extra large ankle bracelet. Can we order that in orange for him?
Stolen valor? Or, a wannabe?
David. It was the Republican's in Congress.....oops let me rephrase.....it was the "woke" MAGA republicans. There. Now they are "woke". Woke MAGA Republicans defunded public broadcasting because children do not need to learn to work in factories and fields.
Of course they did. They are all corrupt mother 🤬and proud of it. And their supporters aren't much better. Hiding behind simplistic reasons for supporting when we all know what type of people they are underneath all of their excuses and reasons. Local elections and mid terms is how we turn it around
www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat... I blame incompetent Trump leaders and they lied to us.
I’m calling on billionaires to fund. It’s the absolute least they can do.
What kind of shithole country defunds PBS? A country where half the citizens are shitheads.
The Senate voted early Thursday to strip $1.1 billion in funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a severe blow to 1,500 local public stations, as well as PBS and NPR
NPR and PBS are national treasures. Let's keep them funded. https://www.press.org/freedom-center
Oh look. Moderates Thom Tillis and Bill Cassidy vote to defund NPR and PBS
If I were in charge of PBS or NPR I would be doing 24-7 programming right now about the end of PBS and NPR
Good thing tomatoes aren't in carrot cake......
HMMMMM he was supposed to bring down the price of eggs......I did not realize it was by increasing the price of tomatoes........
Hmmm so once the Johnson Amendment is no longer when do churches begin to get taxed?
“as being kind of brainwashed, just servants to the patriarchy and not free-thinking,” they THINK that is how we see them....OH NO DARLING, THIS IS HOW WE SEE YOU.
You don't say.....
It won't happen but thanks for talking about it. NOW let's get back to the real topics at hand.....how horrible the big beautiful bill is for each state. FOCUS on the economy and healthcare losses. FOCUS on housing crisis and inflation. FOCUS on supporting local elections and mid terms.
Hmmmmmm he didn't realize it applied to white people like himself......as soon as he is allowed to come back (because he is white) he will be a supporter once again of the orange buffoon.
Trust us we have been standing up and speaking out..... Remember vote in local elections and midterms.
Former President Barack Obama issued a call to action for Democrats at a private fundraiser in New Jersey, urging those frustrated by the state of the country under President Donald Trump to "stand up for the things that you think are right." cnn.it/451uhGk
She needs to make certain Eric's trust fund is still there.
Do you ever notice no MAGA republicans can look straight into the camera. Not even in interviews. They dart their eyes. They know they are doing wrong. All for power and money.
How in the heck can MAGA be just fine with destroying the United States? How in the heck can MAGA supporters be ok with the destruction of the country they claim to love. It will never make sense. VOTE in local elections. VOTE in midterm elections. Something has to change. Speak up.
TRUST me if Democrats could control the weather global warming would not be a thing.....MAGA followers are ridiculous.
I think after school programs and summer programs should be held on the White House Lawn or the lawns of their red state reps and governors. After all it is the cornerstone of their MAGA beliefs......
I thought Elon had been too quiet about his old boss.....now we know why.......
Of course he is......funded by........
So the Epstein files is what they are upset about......after EVERYTHING......the Epstein files. It really sums up his base doesn't it.......

It should have been expanded under Democratic leadership. BUT because many things were not completed under Democratic leadership we are where we are. Let's make certain local elections and midterms begin to turn it around BUT this time actions need to be taken.
🚨Georgia is ramping up another voter purge. The state just launched an audit targeting people with P.O. boxes, those living in group homes, and even voters over 105 years old. If flagged, voters risk being kicked off the rolls. Keep your vote safe. Read more here:
Republicans in Georgia are working to stack local election boards with conspiracy theorists ahead of 2026. In DeKalb and Fulton counties, GOP nominees have pushed voter fraud lies, refused to certify elections, and tried to kick voters off the rolls. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
What is this climate change you speak of......does the government know about this? Certainly if they did something would be done about it.
Trump in April on trade deals: I'm telling you, these countries are calling us up kissing my ass. They are dying to make a deal. 'Please, please sir, make a deal. I'll do anything sir!' Trump Treasury Secretary Bessent today on why there are no deals: Many of these countries never even contacted us
youtu.be/XolimveZdrQ?... He called it! I called it! Damn near anyone with a pulse knew. Fuck. 😒 #LookingBack
MAGATS don't believe in CLIMATE CHANGE. Texas flooding: 50 dead including 15 children. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/05/c...
AGAIN: TENNCARE IS MEDICAID 1.5 million Tennesseans are on it Most are working. The rest have other reasons, despite the fearmongering. It’s not cash. You can’t live large on it. Cutting $1 TRILLION to give a tax cut to the rich is cruel. @MarshaBlackburn @RepTimBurchett
My husband I received this email. I checked my SSA account and there is no such message included in my official account. How did they get our information? Did DOGE provide it? @repjamesclyburn.bsky.social Please make Congress aware of this nonsense going out to all on the SSA rolls.
Truth.
Not a single legislator that voted for yesterday’s bill will ever content with its terrible consequences. That’ll be up to caregivers, clinicians, and unsung people trying to do the right thing who are left to shoulder the burden. We must hold those that did this accountable.
He grew up in a racist household. He surrounds himself with racist ideologies. Racist terms and beliefs are his standard of living because it is ALL he has ever known and he believes it. And the majority of people who voted for him are as well. They hide behind their "egg and border" concerns.

Jeffries winds down his speech: "We don't work for President Trump ... we work for the American people."
Reminder: This GOP tax bill is selling out the American people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.
Important to know that these cuts kick in right after the 2026 midterms. That’s how you know they know it’s bad.
WAIT! Murkowski said the House would fix the bill she voted for..........Dang. She must be appalled.......Poor Murkowski.
“50% of children in this country rely on Medicaid for their health insurance, and Trump’s budget bill will harm them” Republicans: Fuck them kids!!! 🗣️
Cuts to Medicaid could mean individuals with disabilities lose the tools they need to live fulfilling lives. In May, I met with #RI01 constituent Pranoy who relies on an assistive communications device funded by Medicaid to talk.
🧵Trump and Republicans are struggling through how exactly they’re going to hurt Americans with the BIG, UGLY bill for billionaires. Regardless of the method, they’re cutting health care and food assistance for millions to please the wealthy few.
Tillis: What do I tell 663,000 people in two years, three years, when President Trump breaks his promise by pushing them off of medicaid because the funding's not there anymore, guys?
At the White House earlier today, Trump told House Republicans “that there are three things Congress shouldn’t touch if they want to win elections: Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security. “But we’re touching Medicaid in this bill,” one member responded to Trump, according to the three sources.”
