I see the misinformation machine is kicking up to support Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Israel amendment.

Advocates have a responsibility to be clear about what legislation does and doesn’t do. Her amendment did NOT cut off offensive aid to Israel. We shouldn’t pretend it does.

I also voted NO on the full bill which includes this appropriation.

So a lot of people are being reactive to things they aren’t reading fully.

The Trump admin's shifting rhetoric on trade deals:

To recap: Trump promised 90 trade deals in 90 days, falsely claimed every country was begging to make a deal, and now his own Treasury Secretary admits no one’s calling—so they’re just sending out letters instead.
Trump in April on trade deals: I'm telling you, these countries are calling us up kissing my ass. They are dying to make a deal. 'Please, please sir, make a deal. I'll do anything sir!'

I guess we’re done talking about the MAGA gunman who allegedly assassinated a MN Dem lawmaker and her husband and wounded yet another and his wife, and had dozens more Dems on a hit list. I wonder who could be instilling all of that hate? Well, moving on.

Can confirm this email is authentic — and about nothing in it is true.

Social Security income is still taxed. This bill does nothing to change that.

It’s willful disinformation on the part of SSA. It’s a lie.
Hi, I think a lot of us received e-mails from SSA saying that social security will no longer be taxed - and that somehow there is "enhanced deductions" (how much enhancement can you make to 0?) for those over 65. What part, if any, of this is true? Thank you!

This is an enormous restructuring of our nation and what it stands for.

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.
