The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

Don’t you just hate it when you accidentally stumble into an insurrection?

The Republican reconciliation legislation, which Trump calls his "big, beautiful bill," is massive.

popular.info

Chris Murphy: "This is the most deeply immoral piece of legislation I have ever voted on in my entire time in Congress."

CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten: “American people don’t see this as a big, beautiful bill. They see it as a big, bad bill. They hate it, hate it, hate it! They think it’s awful, awful, awful!”

The Phoenix Indian Center is organizing a donation drive to help those impacted by this fire. More info below:

🚨The GOP provision to DEFUND Planned Parenthood is staying in the Big Ugly bill. Clinics will shutter. Women will lose access to cancer screenings, birth control, and basic care. I will be forcing a vote to try to strip it out. Fight like hell. We need to kill this bill.

I called my representatives. Did you?
