The Big Ugly Bill, passed by Republicans slashes Medicare by over 500 billion dollars starting January 1. Seniors, veterans, disabled people - all pay the price for billionaire tax cuts. Its past time to vote Trump’s Republican enablers in Congress out of office in November. #RepublicanMedicareCuts

Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.

Rep. Max Miller: "When I was reported for child abuse of my daughter for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan."

Adaptation is our only climate hope? ”As long as we keep burning fossil fuels, temperatures will increase globally. And that will mean that these fire weather conditions will get worse and worse and worse,” says climatologist Friederike Otto. “There are hard limits to what we can adapt to.”

Trump's tax cuts gave the top 1% $117 billion while middle income families pay $900 dollars more. Republicans voted for this. They're not making mistakes - they're making choices. And those choices hurt working families. #TrumpRepublicanCorruption

A tree is not merely wood; it is a natural air conditioner, a source of oxygen, a support for rainfall, and a sanctuary for birds. It is a safeguard for our future. When we cut down trees, we lose more than just greenery; we invite heat, drought, pollution, and suffering. 🌳 Save trees. Save lives.

Ossoff: "Citizens United was the most destructive court decision in modern history. It's unleashed a flood of secret money, corporate money, billionaire money. Trump's rise is a symptom of this deeper disease. Our task is not just to contain his wickedness, but to cure the rot that gave rise to it."
