Donald Trump's administration is falsely claiming that greenhouse gases are not a threat to public health — breaking the law to once again grovel to the oil industry.

California won't stand idly by while Trump and his lapdog Republicans use their "Big, Beautiful Bill" to virtually eliminate all federal Planned Parenthood funding.
I just signed legislation delivering $90 million to reproductive health care providers across our state.

THEY DID IT. EVERY SENATE DEMOCRAT just voted on an amendment to DEFUND ICE (rescind the BBB slush fund that keeps ICE open during a shutdown.) This amendment failed, but it shows broad support! KEEP CALLING and make it a demand to vote for the DHS funding bill!!
👀 Every Senate Democrat + Collins and Murkowski just voted for the Bernie Sanders amendment to repeal the $75 billion in additional ICE funding under Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” The measure failed 49-51.

Her vehicle's right front panel cleared the ICE agent who didn't open fire until after he was at the side of her vehicle. He used deadly force on a fleeing individual, which is against DHS policy. This is murder. He needs to be arrested.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.
Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

Hillary Clinton referred to SOME Trump supporters as”deplorable,” and the political media had a meltdown. Trump refers to all Democrats as anti-American radical communists and “the enemy within,” and it’s no big deal. His reckless and dangerous demonization has been fully normalized.

I don't want to hear any "the Dems didn't fight" bullshit on this one. So much horrible shit got taken out of this nightmare. It's still an atrocity, but they went to the wall to get stuff out.
1) Senate Dems did an astonishingly good job at getting a LOT of bad shit removed from the bill
2) The GOP has doomed itself by passing the bad shit that remained
3) Full steam ahead to the midterms, let's make their collapse spectacular

I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

Medicaid reductions, potentially $880 billion, threaten long-term care, which over 7 million of our most vulnerable seniors rely on for nursing homes or home-based help.
These services aren’t luxuries.
They’re literal lifelines for folks who can’t afford private care.
