SEN. @gallego.senate.gov on the terrible Milei rock concert: “Millions of Americans are about to lose their health care and have their insurance premiums double, but Trump & Republicans are giving this idiot $20 BILLION. Good job. Way to make America First, guys.”

Our job is not to throw 15 million people off health care and double insurance premiums for more than 20 million.

Our job is not to shutter community health centers, nursing homes and rural hospitals.

Our job is to fix a broken system and guarantee health care to all.

Americans are struggling with
a government shutdown
high prices
layoffs
a chaotic administration

and Trump is planning to build a triumphal arch and just bailed out Argentina with $20 BILLION DOLLARS.

Press pool: “On Trump’s desk in the Oval Office today was a plan for a triumphal arch on the other side of the river from the Lincoln Memorial”

Trump told AG Pam Bondi to prosecute Letitia James-calling her “guilty as hell”

When the US Attorney wouldn’t do it, he replaced that lawyer with his personal attorney

And despite the fact that career prosecutors refused go forward

The DOJ got an indictment anyway

THIS
IS
VINDICTIVE
PROSECUTION

On this day in 1991 Anita Hill accused Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment. Few believed her claims then, not enough people believed Hillary Clinton in 2016 and too few listened to Kamala Harris in 2024. See a pattern? Believe women, burn the patriarchy.

As @msgrumpybunny.bsky.social is telling you, the Magas are pushing through this Big Bullshit Bill that's horrendous for most people. What IS included? They've made the Unbelievably Big Tax Cuts for the 1% to NEVER EXPIRE. Middleclass will lose or be unable to pay for HC whilst the 1% tax cuts 4ever

Reposting this for those who may not understand what Democrats are trying to push back against when it comes to Republicans shutting down the government and why Dems are fighting for Americans.

R’s are blaming D’s while they cut ACA tax credits and gut more federal agencies—has always been the plan

🪷MsGrumpyBunny🪷 @msgrumpybunny.bsky.social · Jun 30

It's not just $930 billion being cut from Medicaid that will harm people

A 🧵

There's another healthcare nightmare in Trump's murderous budget bill -
The House GOP budget reconciliation bill does not extend the "enhanced" premium tax credits that were put in place by the American Rescue Plan

So greasy fascist lunatic Peter Thiel thinks Greta Thunberg may be the Antichrist?

Guess whose name appears in the Epstein Files that have been released, Peter? No hers. Yours!

So that, technically, makes you more evil than the Antichrist.

Wilson Dizard III @wpd3.bsky.social · 1d

[Excerpt:] Tech billionaire Peter Thiel recently warned that Swedish activist Greta Thunberg & critics of tech or AI are “legionnaires of the Antichrist” in private lectures on Christianity that linked government oversight of Silicon Valley to an apocalyptic future.

Inside billionaire Peter Thiel’s private lectures: Warnings of ‘the Antichrist’ and U.S. destruction

In leaked recordings of private lectures by tech billionaire Peter Thiel he argued that “the Antichrist” is likely to take the form of a critic of technology.
