From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now):
-If you work for ICE.
-If you vote for money for ICE.
You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.
Dear @smith.senate.gov and @amyklobuchar.com
Please don’t betray the folks who gave up so much during this shutdown without getting the ACA subsidies restored.
A promise for a vote without House agreement to even come back hardly counts as a win.
Priorities.
Torres: If the bill is so popular, why are the cuts largely delayed until after the midterm election? And if the bill surgically targets fraud, waste and abuse, why is it necessary to set up a $50 billion stabilization fund for rural hospitals?
“I represent 67,000 pediatricians across the country. … Let's be perfectly clear, this bill will cause devastating impacts to children. And while children only represent 22% of our population, they represent 100% of the future”. - American Academy of Pediatrics President Dr. Susan Kressly
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.
When your neighbor on the left is being dragged away by masked men and your neighbor on the right can't get an X-ray for their child, be sure to quickly explain that "both parties are the same" and whatnot.
As someone who works with and supports individuals who rely on Medicaid I hope every single person who voted for and supports this abysmal excuse of a leader never has a moment of peace ever again.
Mike Johnson just said if you are for reducing the deficit, this bill is for you.
The bill adds 3-4 trillion dollars to the deficit.
They just lie.
Protecting his stock portfolio while ripping away health care from 17 million Americans.
This is Washington at its worst.
We need to ban Congressional stock trading.
republicans keep making life worse for working people and better for the rich and then we have elections and they’re like no that’s not true! and people believe them and then they just do it all again and it’s enough to make a rational person feel absolutely fucking insane
In a mere matter of days, we can house migrants, but not our homeless. Because being cruel is always the motivation. #AlligatorAuschwitz
WL is the total number of applicants waiting
App Date is the date of submitted applications that are being reviewed.
Notice how they are YEARS behind.
People already have to wait years just for approval with the current system. Now we want to exacerbate that and close facilities? The fuck?
Institutional care isn't optional under Medicaid. Home and community based services care is optional. Cutting Medicaid will lead to more people losing HCBS and be forced into nursing homes, as I wrote for @motherjones.com in January. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.
Wake up Democratic Party old guard establishment. This isn’t about New York City. This is the way the wind is blowing. Step aside for young people who this country will need over the next several decades long after you are gone. Enough with your egos and the big money interests.
There is only one side in American politics that consistently supports and endorses political violence. People need to stop being afraid to say so.
Gov. Tim Walz confirmed Saturday morning that Hortman and her husband Mark had both been killed in what he called targeted political violence.
I, like many of you, am not only devastated but furious at the assassination of two Minnesota lawmakers this morning.
This isn’t some isolated tragedy. It’s extremism, it’s fascist violence, and we have to treat it that way. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.
A group of us have arrived on the Senate floor to challenge our colleagues - on both sides of the aside - to rise to this moment and jointly condemn what has happened to Sen. Padilla. Yes we still need to collect the full facts, but this appears to be a defining moment for the country.
Speaker Mike Johnson just called on the Senate to censure...Sen. Alex Padilla.
You read that right.
The American Fascist Party at work.
Sen. Mark Kelly: "What happened today to Sen. Padilla was outrageous. It was violent. It's a scary thing to see happen in the United States of America...The Trump administration has arrested a mayor, a member of congress, and a labor leader...That is not who we are as a country."
so the members of congress just stopped going to el salvador and not a single person who was illegally sent there has been returned and that’s just how it is now?
While families across America are struggling to pay for gas and groceries—the President is letting foreign governments buy him off with luxury jets. This is corruption through and through.

DHS Sec Kristi Noem testifying on DHS budget today, and Sen. Chris Murphy begins by eviscerating everything she's been doing so far.
"You are illegally refusing to spend funds appropriated by this Congress... Routinely violating the rights of immigrants... Your agency acts as if laws don't matter."
