RESIGN.
Significant statement from Jeffries and House Democratic leaders saying they will vote “present” on the motion to table Al Green’s resolution to impeach President Trump. They say they’re “laser-focused on fighting to lower the high cost of living” plus on health care and corruption.

Before the first dose of Hep B vax was given at birth, around 22,000 infants were infected every year.
After the policy changed, around 20 infants were infected every year.
22,000 needless Hep B infections every year down to 20!!!

This is very good Congressional warfare. Nothing passes our of committee anywhere until the Epstein files are released.
With floor action ground to a halt by Speaker Johnson over Dem amendments on the Epstein files, House Democrats are now using them to jam up committees.
Includes Appropriations, Energy & Commerce, Financial Services, and Education & Workforce, which just shut down as Rs try to figure what to do:

🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING WSJ:
The DOJ told Trump in May that his name is IN the Epstein Files.
When Justice Department officials reviewed what Attorney General Pam Bondi called a “truckload” of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein earlier this year, they discovered Trump’s name appeared multiple times.

Florida brings in over $127 billion a year from tourism, nearly 8% of its economy and it relies on your vacation dollars. Just like the Tesla boycott, withhold your money. Don’t fund cruelty.

Eddie Glaude just called for a nationwide general strike if the Murder Bill passes.
Honestly, I concur, but also I think a lot of people have no idea what's in it and no idea what's coming.

Republican senators are going to have fun explaining to their constituents why they knew they’d lose their healthcare but voted for this horrible budget bill anyway—because they were afraid of being primaried by Donald Trump’s pick.

MUST WATCH: Oceanside CA: Militarized DHS (HSI) smashed windows, assault rifles drawn, tossed flashbangs and sent drones into the apartment which had 2 kids inside. They then told neighbors they were going to use tear gas, and they’d probably be exposed. Please share widely. WTF

Sen Tillis KNOWS the GOP BS Bill will prove devastating for his party. 👍
Using a chart, he demonstrated how NC will lose $38.9 B in fed dollars, while 600,000+ lose health care!
"This will be devastating to my state," he said.
You're damn right, Thom! Vote no! #ncpol

I rarely post personal things. But I need to talk about my 4-year-old niece, Hope.
She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive.
But the FDA recently denied its approval.
Now, her health hangs in the balance.
Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧵

Fascism!! Nazis used this excuse
Not at all removed from "just following orders."
They're literally going with the "just doing their jobs" defense.

So here's another opening. Imagine what it would look like to have defections from the National Guard.
For anyone who thinks I'm joking here (and it's funny, but no) rumor is that the National Guard deployed in LA was sent under a 29 day order to avoid housing allowances, which means they have to fully pay for their own shelter. In LA. Zero notice. Durable fascisms don't shortchange the muscle.
Sad as it is to say, the greatest consoling thought I have as we march towards a fascism is how unlikely it is to last not because people are brave, or moral, or prepared to combat it... but because it's expensive to maintain, and the man driving us to it couldn't even keep a fucking casino afloat.

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.
