These votes make zero fucking sense. Why are we voting for anything right now that even remotely helps the hostile takeover of our country??? @democrats.org @democrats.senate.gov @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social @alsobrooks.senate.gov @bennet.senate.gov @blumenthal.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov
Trump is sending natl guard in cities, arm forces are killing people in the carrabean w/ questionable legal authority yet almost every Sen Dem leader incl. Schumer, Durbin, Murray, Klobuchar voted to advance a defense spending bill yesterday.

PS: Durbin & Duckworth joined Pritzker presser last wk.🙃

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

What, exactly, are we celebrating tomorrow?

Our cutting off healthcare to the needy to enrich the greedy?

Our new concentration camps?

Our dying economy?

Our ditching due process?

Our corruption?

Our broken legislature?

Our corrupt SCOTUS?

Our ridiculous buffoon president? #FourthOfJuly

There is still time to stop this. They are vulnerable. Light up their phone lines.

Start with the reps on this list in your state. Share this graphic with friends and family, and tell them to get on the phone ASAP too.

Voting starts at 9am ET today.
These are the weak points. You know what to do. First thing tomorrow, use 5calls.org and raise hell.

These fascists are taking billions of our taxpayer dollars and using them to drastically expand the Gestapo and build concentration camps, all to bring about a white Christian nationalist state they’ve dreamed of recreating since losing the Civil War.

Every cut that the government makes to social services is effectively a tax on women. Because they're the ones who will be expected to fill in the gaps.
BREAKING: 1 in 4 nursing homes say they will be forced to close if Republicans pass Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill.

No grandma should be kicked out of her nursing home so that Mark Zuckerberg can buy another Hawaiian island.

It is obscene to give tax breaks to the top 1% by throwing more than 16 million people off health care, cutting nutrition for hungry kids and making it harder for working class young people to go to college.

That is exactly what Trump's budget reconciliation bill does.

Met an active duty member of the military yesterday who filed conscientious objector paperwork in response to deployment of military on U.S. soil.

Was told multiple Army have filed, unknown quantities in other branches.

Dont be fooled. Muskrat doesn't give a shit about you. He is not upset about Medicare, medicaid, and SSA.

He still wants the tax cuts for the rich.

He is upset about the tax credits for electric cars are expiring. Which improves HIS bottom line.

He is a narcissist. It's always about HIM.

Pride Month so far: Jonathan Joss is murdered in a disgusting hate crime and the Navy intentionally announces they are changing the name of the USNS HARVEY MILK.

America... now more than ever... David Lynch's words ring loudly. "Fix your hearts or die." This cannot be our normal.

It wouldn’t be hard to protect Medicaid and funding to rural hospitals and still reduce our nation’s ballooning debt and deficit. The Rs would just have to make the wealthy and corporations pay slightly more in taxes. (PS Rs are never serious about the debt and deficit when they are in power).

For decades, Republicans in Washington have told us that tax cuts would trickle down to workers.

Instead, wealth and power has accumulated in the hands of the richest 1% at the expense of the rest of us.

Trickle-down economics was always a hoax.
