Just got off the phone with my mom. She's so stressed about finances. She might get survivor benefits but the ss office is shutdown right now. I don't know how to help her through this. #GoToWorkCongress #shudown

People need to swarm the streets on the 1st when people can't buy food. No scheduling. Just show up yelling enough is enough & don't go back until things change. Food is at an all time high & it's just going to get worse. Utilities are through the roof & layoffs are everywhere. #snap #CommonGood

Please help by giving us a share. My mom takes care of my autistic brother and is unable to work. This has already been a difficult year. Her mom died earlier this year and they have nothing saved. Every dollar helps. www.legacy.com/us/obituarie...

Talarico speaking on Rogan: I'm a Christian, and I think there is no more dangerous form of government than theocracyβ€”because the only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they’re on a mission from God.

TENNCARE IS MEDICAID

1.6 Million Tennesseans are on it

310,000 Tennesseans will lose it because Republicans just cut $1 TRILLION from it

This is what Medicaid is called in your state:

50 Republican Senators + JD Vance just voted to kick millions of people off their healthcare and food assistance to give more tax breaks to billionaires.

People will die because of this vote, and Republicans are celebrating because their wealthy donors will get richer.

🚨🚨🚨 Trump's extremist Supreme Court has sent shockwaves across the nation, eroding our rights and freedoms and handing power directly to Donald Trump.

The decisions by a rogue SCOTUS are not isolated incidents, but rather a part of a larger pattern of unprecedented attacks on our freedoms.

From Justice Jackson's dissent in Trump v. CASA: "this Court’s complicity in the creation of a culture of disdain for lower courts, their rulings, and the law (as they interpret it) will surely hasten the downfall of our governing institutions."

Unless something dramatic happens in the interim, a birth certificate will no longer be sufficient to prove the citizenship of any child born in much of the United States after July 27.

Today’s ruling threatens the very essence of public education. The Court, in effect, constitutionalizes a parental
veto power over curricular choices long left to the democratic process and local administrators. That decision guts
our free exercise precedent and strikes at the core premise
of public schools: that children may come together to learn
not the teachings of a particular faith, but a range of concepts and views that reflect our entire society. Exposure to
new ideas has always been a vital part of that project, until
now.
The reverberations of the Court’s error will be felt, I fear,
for generations. Unable to condone that grave misjudgment, I dissent.

In her dissent from today's decisionβ€”Mahmoud v. Taylorβ€”Justice Sotomayor says that the court's holding "threatens the very essence of public education," and that its "reverberations" will be felt "for generations." This is a very heartfelt and mournful dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
