Cutting Medicare Part D subsidies isn’t “fiscal discipline.” It’s a prescription for higher drug costs, more untreated illness, and greater long‑term healthcare spending. Seniors deserve stability, not surprise hikes in essential medication costs. #RepublicanMedicareCuts
𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚🚨 "While he was detained, he lost 30 lbs. He had high blood pressure-he had diabetes. They refused him his medication...& I'm going to grow up without a father.. #ICE tried to cover up the fact that they killed him...They're just Heartless monsters." —preteen daughter of Edwin Lopez-Cornejo
This child's stirring words should be heard by every American & especially every lawmaker. Will you tag or call yours? Congress 202-224-3121 My family members were killed in the Holocaust. People turned away & ignored the brutality & deaths. Don't do it! Speak out now! bsky.app/profile/male...

On 8/1, Edwin Lopez-Cornejo, just 41, died in ICE detention after being brutalized & denied medication by Trump's immigration thugs. It's being done in our name with our taxpayer dollars.
#ICE has STOPPED reporting DEATHS once detainees have been released, so there could be DOZENS MORE PEOPLE WHO DIED BECAUSE OF THEIR ICE CUSTODY! Only Democrats are speaking out against ice lawlessness. Support them by volunteering or donated at Dccc.org Dscc.org Democrats.org Mobilize.us

Silver Spring Progressive Action@sspaction1.bsky.social · 24m agoChristina Bohannan lost by 800 votes last time. 800. Meanwhile her dad’s own insurance company canceled him the moment he got sick, and Washington shrugged. This time we close that gap, we flip IA-01, and we do it for every family insurance companies threw away. #BlueWaveIn90Days

These are tomatoes, or should I say, one large tomato, from my Mother in law’s vegetable garden! I wanted to show you its naked beauty before I dressed it in the colors of the Italian flag!😉🇮🇹
Happy birthday to one of America’s greatest U.S. Presidents, former President Barack Obama! Obama’s presidency, leadership, legacy, scandal free presidency, & high level of ethical integrity stands in stark contrast to the rot, depravity, violence, & corruption of the entire Trump/GOP regime!
Proud to partnering w/Swing Left on deep canvassing in York, PA—engaging and listening to voters across party lines on where they believe the country is headed. Per an agreement among the DNC, SL & other Dem orgs, the data we collect will be shared to help Ds meet voters where they are & win in Nov.
Democrats Are Launching a New Way to Coordinate With Outside Groups
A new agreement between Swing Left and official Democratic infrastructure could be a template for future data-sharing and coordination.

𝗘𝗻𝗷𝗼𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀! Racists are the worst, so it's pretty entertaining to see them get skewered(figuratively). How evil is this woman to try to get a hardworking supermarket clerk who helped her deported! Explain the consequences of tearing people away from their families where needed. Invoke empathy.
A sweet little boy is totally traumatized because of these women's racism. They are so evil. They don't have one bit of compassion for the little boy or his father. This is the United States today, though it seems right out of the 1950s! STOP HATE & MAKE SURE EVERYONE SEES THIS RACIST'S FACE!

as millions of americans this year have had to give up their health insurance **specifically because** trump and republicans made the decision to send premiums skyrocketing, the administration now says everyone who's lost coverage must have been committing fraud: www.cbsnews.com/news/rfk-jr-...
RFK Jr., Oz claim fraud crackdown drove ACA enrollment drop, but analysts cite rising costs
Rising premiums forced many people in Affordable Care Act plans to give up their coverage. But the Trump administration claims a huge drop in enrollment is almost entirely due to its fraud crackdown.

A 60 Minutes probe into Epstein's banking, with Wyden already interviewed, vanished right after Sharyn Alfonsi got pushed out under Bari Weiss. Same editor who stalled the CECOT migrant story until Stephen Miller got a say. CBS keeps calling it timing. Sure looks like a pattern.
60 Minutes Epstein Banking Story Vanished After CBS Ousted Sharyn Alfonsi, Dem Senator Reveals
Wyden revealed he was interviewed for the show in a Senate report alleging the country's largest banks turned “a blind eye” to Epstein's financial activity

Team Talarico@teamtalaricohq.bsky.social · 2d agoJames Talarico: Since taking office, Ken Paxton has become a multi-millionaire — all while most Texans’ pay has remained stagnant for decades. He now owns 15 homes, while most Texans can't afford one. We can't afford Ken Paxton's corruption.
It's embarrassing, humiliating, and disgusting to have to witness and live through this level of malfeasance and immorality amongst members of Congress and their foreign and corporate owners!
We must pay attention to the details of the deconstruction of justice & democracy & educate others. Trump fired over 100 immigration judges. That might sound mundane. But there's a 4 million case backlog & 12 immigration courts lost 1/2 their immigration judges & 2 lost all full-time judges!🧵
So what does that mean? Why's it critical to know about these firings? In a system where there's very few rights for those being abducted, it's taking forever to see a judge. People are locked up indefinitely. We could be next. The few judges that are left are being pressured to deport everyone!
U.S. has a quarter fewer immigration judges than it did a year ago. Here's why
The continued drain of personnel from the already strained immigration court system has contributed to depleted staff morale, mounting case backlogs — and floundering due process.

Citizens like Brian Morales, Annie Lopez Beayosa & Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomeza were deported as well as a 4yr old citizen undergoing treatment for stage 4 cancer who was deported without his medication, along with his 7-year-old U.S. citizen sister. If it can happen to them, it can happen to you!
Now it's also important to remember that Donald Trump is personally invested in these horrible for-profit detention corporations. So for every person that gets rounded up & put in #ICELawlessness torture camps or denied healthy food, potable water & medical attention, Trump personally profits!
The most important thing you can do stop this tyranny is to vote. There are primary elections in many states this week including: Michigan,Virginia, Washington & Kansas, on Tuesday, Tennessee on Thursday & Hawaii on Saturday. But we also need to volunteer & donate to candidates. Democrats.org

This is insane! How many Americans follow no news at all and have no idea of this? Everyone, please drop some truth bombs in your daily lives at every opportunity. Personal conversations can move mountains, if enough of us speak up.
It is downright INSANE that Senator John Cornyn, after being blatantly LIED TO by #ToddBlanche, who was under oath btw, has now decided he’s gonna vote for his confirmation! 🤨 All of this on a promise to NOT open up the #Jan6ersSlushFund but still giving tax immunity… 🧵 youtu.be/ZkY4lKTCUcg?...
