IF Times Square gets a casino, THEN:
❌ The Broadway you know and love will disappear
❌ Shows will close
❌ Jobs will be lost
❌ Roads and sidewalks will get more congested
❌ The Times Square community will suffer

Despite D.C. being at a 30-year low on crime, Trump is abusing emergency powers and invoking the Home Rule to deploy the National Guard and federalize D.C. police.

Demand your reps denounce this dictatorial takeover and immediately prioritize D.C. statehood.

Winning the House in 2026 is a critical step to stop the MAGA agenda. Democrats only need to flip three seats. @swingleft.bsky.social is focused on the competitive “swing districts” where your help can make the biggest impact. swingleft.org/house #SwingLeft #Midterms2026 #Browdwayacts

On what would have been James Baldwin’s 101st birthday, we honor his legacy of challenging our nation to live up to its promises of liberty and justice for all.

A black and white photo of James Baldwin, a Black man wearing a white shirt and a neck tie, with a quote on it that reads "I love America more than any other country in the world and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to perpetually criticize her." The quote is attributed to "James Baldwin, Writer and civil rights activist."

The Big Horrible bill was signed into law on July 4th but it has a “Big Beautiful Delay” that will impact millions over the coming months & years. This delay is seen by many as a strategic move, intentionally postponing until after upcoming elections #bigbeautifuldelay #broadwayacts #bighorriblebill

MASSIE voted Yes.
ROY is supposedly not going to vote at all.

ALL Dems have voted No. And 9 Republicans (including Roy) have yet to vote.

Ultimately, unless Republican leadership can flip one of these 4 No's to a Yes, this vote will FAIL.

5 Calls @5calls.org · Jul 3

‼️ The current 4 GOP No votes are:

ANDREW CLYDE (GA-09)
BRIAN FITZPATRICK (PA-01)
KEITH SELF (TX-03)
VICTORIA SPARTZ (IN-05)

Worth nothing that Fitzpatrick was a surprise NO. A moderate who represents a district that went for HARRIS in 2024.

The vote is still open on the floor...

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur.bsky.social · Jul 3

HOUSE FLOOR LATEST: It's 206-216 right now.

All 212 Democrats have showed up and voted NO. So unless one of the 4 Republican NOs flips, this rule to advance Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" is toast.
