Justice Sotomayor, dissenting: "It [the majority] hands the Executive the power to repeal statutes .... The majority is either willfully blind to the implications of its ruling or naive, but either way the threat to our Constitution’s separation of powers is grave."

Protect Our Care on Bluesky: “BREAKING: New CBO score reveals GOP Senate bill slashes $930 BILLION from Medicaid - the largest cut in history.

That means 10M+ could lose coverage.

Earlier GOP plan: $700B
New plan: $930B

This is a full-scale attack on America's most vulnerable. #KillTheBill”

Over 10 million Americans would lose their healthcare under Trump’s Tax Scam — and that doesn’t include the millions more who would lose their coverage because of GOP cuts to the Affordable Care Act.

NEW FROM CBO: brutal distributional analysis of House GOP "Big Beautiful Bill"

On avg the bottom 30% of households get poorer under the GOP bill

Avg gets little - and are worse off if you include tariffs

This'd be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in history

Maddow: I also feel like there’s not very much about that that I don’t understand. Like, it’s the same everywhere. This is blond Berlusconi, you know what I mean? This is inarticulate Viktor Orbán, right? These guys are all the same. The authoritarian playbook is the same everywhere

It’s Always Darkest Before It Goes Pitch Black We’re not alarmed enough by what Trump’s doing in Los Angeles.

"The normalization of routine and open-ended deployment of the military at home requires that the public become accustomed to this departure from historic practice."

Today Trump went further down the path of nomralizing the politicization of the military.

Awful.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.
