Below are two photographs of Mike Lawler taken recently in #NY17.

One honors Jawonio, a local org that helps people with disabilities and special needs.

The other honors People to People, a local food bank.

Lawler just voted to hurt the people they serve.

Liar. Hypocrite. Phony.

MAGA Congressman Derrick Van Orden-a huge supporter of the Big Ugly Bill

Who published this repugnant post cheering the fact that the law would gut Medicaid and SNAP

Is now BEGGING the Democratic governor of his state

To save the very hospitals that he just voted to close

Friendly reminder that this is exactly the thing the British did and that it led to the Boston Massacre.

Today is a good day to remind ourselves that when people desire freedom, tyrants will go above and beyond to exact that price. So the People have to go above and beyond to (re)claim their due.

Today is supposed to be a celebration of freedom and liberty for all.

Today, the Marines are being used on American soil in Florida.

Alligator Alcatraz is open for business, and a Canadian citizen has died in Florida under ICE custody.

Free America, unless we are all free; nobody is free.

#HappyIndependenceDay to you all!

Many Republicans are just finding out, thanks to Hakeem Jeffries, that the Declaration of Independence reads like an indictment & are outraged by it.

The sad irony…

The ACA—mocked as “Obamacare” by the right—insured 30M people. Half the country hated it. Republicans tried to “repeal”, NOT “replace” it.

Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is projected by Yale to cause 51,000 preventable deaths. And most Americans still don’t realize what’s coming.

This email from the Trump Administration is just propaganda to mislead Americans.

We’re supposed to praise Dear Leader for his Big Bullshit Bill that accelerates Social Security INSOLVENCY by a year to 2032?!

There is currently no specific federal law that requires law enforcement to wear uniforms or show their faces during arrests! Who knew?

Let's fix this now with bills proposed in Congress and CA. Flood legislators' phones to stop this un-American practice!

The Big Ugly Bill is-in part-a smokescreen to cover the MAGA agenda

Which is to destroy the Affordable Care Act

This was ALWAYS the plan

"The bill 'will move us as a nation back to the same percentage of uninsured before Obamacare'"

But it's worse

Rural hospitals will close

And people will die

The Trump administration is dropping charges against MS-13 gang leaders after they agreed to use their power as gang leaders to support President Bukele’s policies in El Salvador. Remember when Reagan sold missiles to Iran? It’s that bad. Gift link:
