Re-upholstering my dining chairs. Finally getting rid of this leather. I've had these for 10 years and summers were brutal on leather. Time to breathe. #diy #upholstery

This is why they need all the distractions. This is a rich vs. everyone else game.
NEW FROM CBO: brutal distributional analysis of House GOP "Big Beautiful Bill"
On avg the bottom 30% of households get poorer under the GOP bill
Avg gets little - and are worse off if you include tariffs
This'd be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in history

The Republican reconciliation bill which makes massive cuts to Medicaid in order to pay for huge tax breaks for billionaires is not just bad public policy.
It is not just immoral.
It is a death sentence for struggling Americans.

Hey folks, I have a HUGE request from the Trevor Project and would appreciate help getting the word out.
Trevor is now recruiting for it's 2025 National Youth Survey. They need people 13-24, LGBTQ+, in the United States to take it.
This research is critical to LGBTQ+ rights.

Absolutely insane filing. The Trump government is arguing that a law firm is a national security threat because it was part of the lawsuit against the transgender military ban.
We are just STEPS away from Russia-style designating LGBTQ+ orgs "extremist and terrorist organizations"

Ok, I've considered it: I think this is a shitty idea. Thanks for your input.
Counterpoint: fully fund SEPTA so people can reliably get to work, shopping, and other things that generate tax revenue that flows to the rest of the Commonwealth.

It’s time to consider privatizing SEPTA | Opinion
The fiscal instability of SEPTA is quickly on the horizon and has left us with a system in crisis and no good way out. The solutions for this cannot come from the same bank of tired ideas.

A leaked budget draft from the Trump government shows that they plan to defund the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline’s LGBTQ+ Youth Specialized Services.
Trying to eliminate these lifesaving services is nothing short of cruel.

1. It is time that countries begin accepting trans refugees from the United States.
Refuge has always been a defining act in times of political persecution—this is one of those moments. History will remember who opens the door.

Countries Should Accept Transgender Refugees From The United States
The situation on the ground for transgender people is deteriorating in real time in the United States. Other countries should open up refugee programs to allow those moving from the US.

PA Senators McCormick and Fetterman aren't even pretending to listen to their constituents. These responses they're sending about every concern submitted are doubling down on their autonomy to act for their own self interest...NOT for us...

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

1. Trump's voting EO that attacked mail-in ballots and required voter ID could be devastating for transgender people.
Trans people often have trouble updating birth certs, and passports right now are held up.

For ppl who are still surprised that trans folks are overrepresented among the left's fighters - and I know you're out there - remember many of our rights are owed to ppl who had nothing to lose.
We had no right to be free from rape in prison until a trans woman.

The HHS rule banning trans care from many ACA plans is open for public comment now. Only 3 comments so far.
Embarrassing how the media is completely ignoring this. There's likely over 200,000 trans people on ACA plans (1% of 24 million)
