AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Just had my mammogram. It’s quick and easy, not as bad as you’d imagine. Screening for cancer is vital as we get older. Don’t put it off!

The reason they “likened it to caving in” was because of all the caving in 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️
"Not all Democrats are on board with the contours of this proposal. While the vote would have the effect of forcing each Republican to take a position in public on healthcare costs and access as we head into the midterm election year, some Democrats likened it to caving in."
Here’s what you need to know about legal issues like the National Guard and SNAP for the week ahead, with a little politics in the mix too. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

People are just now finding out that Chuck Schumer, whose closest advisor on major issues is an imaginary family he made up in his childhood (yes, really), might not be the best choice to lead in times like these

Most of today’s news is upsetting so a bit of the hilarious, even if it’s embedded in a solemn story, is such a welcome reprieve for our ever at risk blood pressure.

The Dems who are caving are doing so not because their base wants them to,

not because the voters want them to,

not because the fed workers and SNAP recipients want them to…

they are caving because their DONORS want them to.

And that’s really all that ever matters to the corrupt

Here’s the list of the eight Democrats who caved:

⚫️ Catherine Cortez Masto
⚫️ Dick Durbin
⚫️ John Fetterman
⚫️ Maggie Hassan
⚫️ Tim Kaine
⚫️ Angus King
⚫️ Jackie Rosen
⚫️ Jeanne Shaheen

Their excuses don’t hold water. They betrayed all Americans who were counting on them to stand firm and keep fighting.

This is my son’s soccer teammate. This is heartbreaking to watch, no kid should go through this. I know his parents, they are good people. No family should endure this. The cruelty and evil actions of the trump administration and ICE are tearing families and communities apart.
Devastating— “I’m afraid for my parents to leave the house. They treat us like dogs because of the color of our skin. I shouldn’t be scared, I should be focusing on school.”

A 16yo American living in fear of the Trump regime’s ICE goons terrorizing brown people pleads for help.
