“When food prices go up because farm workers go missing, that’s the ICE Tax. When construction grinds to a halt because no one is left to build homes, that’s the ICE Tax. When our elders can’t get the care they deserve because their caretakers and nurses are gone, that’s the ICE Tax.” #EndtheICETax

Senator Josh Hawley, widely expected to run for president in 2028, just called on Congress to go even further in banning abortion nationwide.

My take from the Smith hearings: To be a GOP senator today, you have to be a lying piece-of-shit, who puts loyalty to party & our lying piece-of-shit president, above their oaths to the Constitution & their obligations to tell the truth & do what rights to the American people! Repost if U agree

I kid around a lot on BSKY but these are the top 6 Senate candidates where even a $5 donation will have an outsized impact.

I just checked my voter registration. I encourage all of you to do the same. Try your state's official site. AVOID VoteSafe.Org. It's an Elon Musk scam to harvest data.

These allegations are a bombshell: the FBI informant claims Collins was in a pay-to-play scheme where donors to her Super-PAC were rewarded with government contracts. Trump stopped the investigation when he came into his office second term. As Collins would say, "concerning"

NEW: In late 2024, FBI investigators had enough evidence to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins. Then Trump was reelected and eviscerated the FBI and DOJ teams handling public corruption probes.

This seems like a pretty big deal: donors made illegal contributions to Susan Collins and then were awarded lucrative contracts after her office intervened with the Navy. An FBI investigation was dropped under Trump. www.propublica.org/article/fbi-...

Wondering in the midst of Sheeran and Macklemore if folks remember who owns Coachella and if they demanded performers not play there rather than help Philip Anschutz support MAGA, a RW terrorist organization. popular.info/p/coachella-...

Does the U.S. military need to weigh in on this?

While RFK Jr.'s been shouting "Make America Healthy Again" from the rooftops, over 160 foods have been recalled so far this year. There’s nothing healthy about food-borne illness.

Democrats should be at the microphone right now noting that this is a Hatch Act violation that they'll be pursuing in January. I don't care that the nation's become numb to this shit. It's still illegal and if Democrats should run against it and then act to crush it.

Massachusetts is now the 10th state to allow abortion later in pregnancy based on a physician’s professional judgment. The change should spare more patients and families the added trauma, delay and expense of traveling out of state for care.

Who Should Decide Whether a Patient Needs an Abortion: A Doctor or an Opinion Columnist?
