Another tragedy. How realistic is it for textile companies to continue even without the program?

Those majestic forests belong to us, and they are more valuable standing than liquidated #Tongass.There are family-owned suppliers who grow Sitka spruce on private lands that @Steinway could partner with - a better fit for a brand that I previously thought stood for timeless beauty and the sublime.

Dear Republicans, Please read and heed federal judges: “Mr. (Emil) Bove’s egregious record of mistreating law enforcement officers, abusing power, and
disregarding the law itself disqualifies him for this position”

The Republican big (bullshit) budget bill was sneakily structured to delay its most harmful effects and quietly reverse the more popular benefits.

But the immediate effects are clear: A weakened health care system and an empowered authoritarian police force.

It will only get worse from here...

The Senate is currently debating over Trump’s Tax Scam before moving to vote-a-rama and a final vote.

We need GOP senators’ phones to be ringing off the hooks: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

And when their voicemails fill up, use this tool to send an email: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-cutt...

TRUMP'S TAX SCAM IS A DISASTER
SENATE REPUBLICANS' RECONCILIATION BILL:

Forces nearly a trillion dollars in cuts to Medicaid, the largest cut to the life-saving program ever by a factor of FOUR

Gives ICE a larger budget than many militaries around the world

Strips healthcare away from 5% of Americans

Kicks 11.8 million people off SNAP benefits

Not only cuts funding for green energy but actually taxes it, threatening to balloon energy costs and eliminate hundreds of thousands of jobs

Represents the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in US history

No Kings Day on June 14 is going to be even bigger, with more events in more places to reject Trump’s authoritarianism.

We can do better by birds and us. Paving over habitat. Spraying pesticides…“Humans share those same environments,…. “So if they’re not healthy enough for birds, they’re unlikely to be healthy enough for people, too.” www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...
