Republicans are working harder to arrest Texas Democratic politicians than child rapists on the Epstein list.

The Big, Ugly Law is full of harmful cuts and changes, many of which are strategically timed to take effect after the midterm election.

It’s set to hurt millions. Don’t be caught off guard!

The ‘Big, Ugly Law’ will kick 17 million people off their healthcare, including nearly 2 million Floridians.

Hospitals will close. People will die.

My Democratic colleagues and I are committed to always fighting for Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, and healthcare for all.

I also didn’t hear outrage when Mike Johnson decided to clock out early, saying Congress wasn’t in session because he didn’t want to vote on releasing the Epstein files.

If you’re going to blast people for bailing on their jobs, at least be equal opportunity about it.
What can be done to prevent this? IMHO I feel as though many citizens feel powerless to stop the actions of this authoritarian regime

We are closer to the precipice than people realize. Remember, Cornyn is asking *Kash Patel* and *Dan Bongino* to arrest Democrats. How long until other Rs start asking for Ds to be arrested in other contexts? How long do norms hold at the FBI?
This is a demand for unconstitutional, arbitrary power. There is no offense against the United States here. The FBI has no role to assist the State of Texas in becoming an authoritarian enclave.

The rule of law seems of no importance to those in power these days.

This isn't about criminal activity under Texas law. These aren't fugitives from felonies. It is a civil matter. The FBI cannot arrest people for non-criminal conduct. There is no reasonable belief that arresting them would prevent the commission of a federal crime. It's all pro-police state hogwash.

What's going on with Trump's economy?

- Inflation is up.
- People are worried about finding a job.
- Groceries are getting more expensive.

No matter how hard he tries, Trump can’t distract from his broken promise to lower costs on “Day One.”

Donald Trump fired the head of the nonpartisan Bureau of Labor Statistics because they reported bad jobs data he didn’t like.

If the facts don’t fit his story, he’ll try to erase them.

This is dangerous for our economy.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "They've talked about these fines, they've talked about trying to expel us from office... We're not too concerned about the personal or political costs. This is a lot bigger than us. This is about whether or not we will have free and fair elections in 2026."

Trump’s Big Ugly Bill allocates $170.7 billion to target immigrants

With nearly $30 billion for ICE and $45 billion more to build concentration camps

Meanwhile Republicans are dismantling Medicaid and SNAP-to give billionaires a tax break

Maybe THAT’S why the crowd chanted to vote out Mike Flood

While they should be focused on disaster flood relief, Republicans in Texas - following the orders of the White House - are trying to manipulate maps and rig the 2026 midterm elections. This is yet another national scandal.

The Trump Administration is planning to deny climate science to let big polluters rake in profits.

This would make our people and our environment sicker and more vulnerable.

If the President continues on this path, we won’t hesitate to act.

EPA urges White House to strike down landmark climate finding
The Trump administration is weighing whether to repeal the “endangerment finding,” which states that greenhouse gases pose a threat to public health and welfare.

We need more outspoken stances like this from both parties
