In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

Absolutely infuriating 🤬 … and it’s all about money, of course.

They may be bullying us so they can take away healthcare but at least they’re bullying everyone who’s trying to save the world

We are gonna fight and we are gonna win.

"We are the People:" Beto Speaks at No Kings Rally in Austin YouTube video by Beto O'Rourke

We are never gonna give in, give up, roll over, or bend the knee. We are gonna fight and we are gonna win.

And Beto was a surprise speaker!!!

Funny how Sleepy Joe Biden managed to get through an entire term of a presidency without the government shutting down.

Something Troubled Trump has not been able to do. Either time.

Senate Republicans are getting ready to vote on their Big BS bill, which is so awful they want to get it passed before Americans know what’s in it. 😬

Here’s a summary so you can share it with friends and family. ✅

Then please ask everyone you know to get loud! 📣

Script below.

Sorry. This is very raw. But what’s happening in LA right now is absolutely horrific.

Host: You could call and get Abrego Garcia back.

Trump: I could

Host: But the Supreme Court has ordered you to facilitate his release.

Trump: I'm not the one making this decision

Host: You're the president!

More evidence of an alliance between the “Tech Bros” & the “Catholic Right”. On 7/1/24, Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale used his blog to thank Catholic hardliner Leonard Leo for his “advice & support” re: a SCOTUS brief that Lonsdale’s Cicero Institute had filed to help criminalize homelessness. 1/

A softer sky for today. West Wittering, the beach of my childhood. It felt like we could run forever.

Cory Booker has taken the Senate floor and plans to filibuster as long as he’s physically able to protest the complete disregard for the rule of law by Trump and Musk.

This is illegal: Musk announced in an overnight post on X that he’ll hand out million-dollar checks at a Sunday night event in Wisconsin—but only to those who voted in the state’s Supreme Court election.

Why is Elon so invested in this race? Tesla is facing legal challenges in Wisconsin.

All the laws flouted during SignalGate Very illegal and very not cool.

New in PN: All the laws flouted during SignalGate

"There’s no excuse they can come up with that will be believable, bc the truth is obvious — they recklessly defied numerous laws by discussing war plans in a Signal group. And once they got caught, they made things even worse by incessantly lying."

The Trump Administration can gaslight about Signal-gate all they want, but this isn’t rocket science—a new YouGov poll shows 74% of us think it’s a serious problem.

Bottom line: Military operations should never be discussed on Signal. The public gets it.

Elon Musk took in another $8 million in taxpayer money this morning, as he does every morning.

But Granny needs to eat cat food and live in a tent.

Got it.

This.

The big law firms who are folding to this blatantly unconstitutional nonsense should be ashamed of themselves. They all took an oath too.

It took a lot of stupid to alienate Canada but we did it

Bank overdraft fees were capped at $5 the last few years -- saving American families over $6 BILLION.

Until now.

Because Republicans are lifting the Biden-era cap, letting banks charge whatever they want again.

Taking $6 BILLION of your money and giving it to the big banks.

Seriously, who could have known?

This country is broken.

34000 people gathered in Denver Colorado for Bernie Sanders and AOC. Bigger than Obama in 08, bigger than the DNC in 2024. I think America has been lied to. I think the election was stolen. I think Ann Selzer was right.

Silencing the voice of America “A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves.” ―Edward R.

For the first time in 83 years, the voice of America fell silent this weekend. For more than eight decades, that voice had (not always consistently) championed democratic values, challenged tyrants and bullies.

This weekend, Donald Trump silenced it.
