The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office [#CBO] said Wednesday that the broad Republican bill to cut taxes for corporations & the wealthy & slash federal programs would add $2.4 trillion to the already soaring #NationalDebt over the next decade, in an analysis that was all but certain to inflame concerns that #Trump’s domestic agenda would lead to excessive government borrowing.

Report: "Israel plans to prevent Madleen aid ship from approaching Gaza coast"
The ship, part of Freedom Flotilla Coalition, is carrying urgently needed supplies for Gaza
Israel is considering:
1. preventing the ship from approaching Gaza & leaving it adrift at sea, or
2. having it escorted to Ashdod port & arresting the activists there.

"#SCOTUS allows Trump to fire labor board mems. Apparent 6-3 decision with all liberal justices in dissent. Ct says more harm from denying POTUS right to remove officials than from those officials staying in office."

"I just want to stop the killing”
That is a sentence, Trump has repeated again and again throughout 2025. But is it true?

I think this is a more or less up-to-date map of the businesses, LLCs, and people associated with the Trump family crypto projects.
"We found out that ICE is staying at the AC hotel in #Pasadena and now there's a couple of hundred people protesting #noice "
Give ICE no rest, no time to relax.....destroy them.

GENIUS Act (stablecoin bill) has passed the Senate.
Wow! Seattle Reign soccer team has issued a statement warning fans not to attend matches and FIFA World Cup events as they could be targeted by ICE agents
With the unravelling of America I cannot see the US successfully hosting major international sporting events, including the Olympics - fans, athletes, maybe even entire countries will boycott over safety
"These Christians claim that true compassion comes from rejecting empathy, arguing that empathy gets in the way of speaking what they believe are "hard truths" they need to browbeat alleged sinners with. This is how the conservative Christian convinces himself it's love to deny LGBTQ people their freedom, b/ compelling heterosexuality will get them into heaven. . . . These are the rationalizations of people who want to hate while denying they are hateful."
Websites hosting major US #climate reports taken down
Websites that displayed legally mandated US national climate assessments seem to have disappeared, making it harder for #state & #local governments & the #public to learn what to expect in their backyards from a warming world.

Calling your senator may not change them, but it will change you
Be defiant
Call your senators and tell them to vote against the MAGA Murder Bill
Negotiating is not an option
Their job is to protect and expand fundamental rights to food, health, and due process

This was never about “protecting” college seats for US citizens. It has always been about fear—about sending a chilling message to undocumented youth that they are not welcome, no matter how long they’ve lived here, or how much they’ve already given back.

Call it the 911 presidency.
Despite insisting that the #US is rebounding from calamity under his watch, #Trump is harnessing #EmergencyPowers unlike any of his predecessors.
Whether it’s leveling punishing #tariffs, deploying #troops to the #border or sidelining #EnvironmentalRegulations, Trump has relied on rules & laws intended only for use in extraordinary circumstances like #war & #invasion.

Today is the last day to submit a comment to the FDA and tell them you want the right to access Covid vaccines!
The same people trying to restrict access are the ones who screamed about choice & autonomy when there were mandates.
Let people have choice and autonomy now.
Tell them you don’t agree with removing tools to stay healthy. To protect one another.
You can submit anonymously and it only takes a few minutes
It’s been 123 days since 47’s inaugural (1337 to go).
Look at the destruction he’s already caused, and consider what’s to come in his Big Bad Budget Bill.
Most of the analyses by pundits & experts focus on the billions wiped from services funded by taxpayers & used by taxpayers. The HUMAN cost is rarely mentioned, but it’s the impact to HUMAN LIVES that really counts.
Immigrants, elders, the hungry, the sick, disabled, infants & kids, at-risk youth, queer & trans, working families losing insurance, losing jobs, losing heart.
All this HUMAN misery to keep the morbidly rich happy. Fuck that!
In the errors & take-backs so far we’ve seen that PUSHBACK WORKS!

Analysis: The absolute silence from the Madleen crew members’ governments is beyond words, "reflects Israeli impunity."
"If any other state had sent its military forces to seize a small civilian boat carrying 12 unarmed civilians ... it would immediately be recognised for the act of state piracy that it indisputably is."
"But for Israel, there’s always an exception.”

If anyone is considering blaming those in LA for confronting ICE for the rise in violence, I strongly recommend reconsidering your position.
This *is* the plan. It has always been the plan to rachet up ICE violence until that are finally confronted.
Now is the time to support those on the front lines resisting the government troops who are, quite literally, rounding up folks and sending them to concentration camps*.
It’s understandable that some feel uneasy or frightened ahead of tomorrow’s nationwide NO KINGS protests.
Some will stay home, not knowing whether they can exercise their civil liberties safely.
But, honestly, the FEAR some are feeling is THE REASON these protests are necessary.
