1. The "big beautiful bill" that Republicans advanced late last night is a massive transfer of wealth from the poorest Americans to the richest

The bottom 20% of earners will see their income DECLINE BY 10%

The top 0.1% will get a GIGANTIC WINDFALL

Republicans handed #Trump a $4 trillion blank check—baked into the “Big Beautiful #Bill.”

Permanent #tax cuts for the rich. Deep cuts to #Medicaid and SNAP. And no debt ceiling to rein him in. They aren’t balancing the budget…they’re nuking the brakes.

#SaveOurMedicaid and kill the bill!

We have your back in this fight, President Biden.

Evil.

RFK Jr. just ordered the FDA to review mifepristone—a drug used safely for 24+ years

It’s key to 60% of U.S. abortions, but also treats Cushing’s, fibroids, endometriosis, miscarriage, and more

The GOP’s been trying to ban it for decades—using junk science, lawsuits, and the 1873 Comstock Act

They’re coming for IVF, miscarriage care, emergency contraception—then for all contraceptives

This isn’t oversight. It’s control.

RFK Jr’s FDA limits use of #Covid19 vaccine https://www.yahoo.com/news/rfk-jr-fda-limits-covid-204951844.html

#FDA finally approved the Novavax #Covid vaccine, though it put limitations on it that do not currently apply to the other 2 Covid shots on the market.

We need cameras in the Supreme Court. America would have witnessed a Trump Justice finally forcing the president's lawyer to say out loud that the president will obey the Supreme Court, which could end up being one of the most poignant exchanges in US history.
