10 July 1943, The Royal Canadian Regiment landed at Pachino in the opening waves of the Allied invasion of Sicily, Operation HUSKY.

Canada's first valour awards of the campaign went to The RCR, with a Distinguished Conduct Medal and a Military Medal granted for this action. 1/2

YOU CUT FUNDING FOR THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE.

THIS is what happens when you do that, you fucking ghoul.

The man who owns this website was directly involved with firing over 600 National Weather Service workers who predict and warn us about storms and floods

Protecting his stock portfolio while ripping away health care from 17 million Americans.

This is Washington at its worst.

We need to ban Congressional stock trading.

The estate tax ONLY impacts individuals leaving behind over $14 million dollars or couples leaving behind $28 million. If you leave less than that, you are literally not impacted by the estate tax. It affects only 0.2% of US households. And these people blindly cheer it on.

Here is the USAID logo. Don’t see any “rainbow” colors Mr. Secretary.

Republican Senators praying over a bill which kicks kids and old people off their health care in order to fund a massive kickback to the wealthy.

Man, I don't know what to say, but if you think this is Christianity, you are fucking lost.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

- Largest transfer of wealth to the rich in American history.

- Largest cut to Medicaid in American history.

- Largest cut to food assistance in American history.

- Electricity costs could go up by 30%.

- Millions of jobs could disappear.

- $4 trillion will be added to the debt.

This is one of the most destructive bills in US history.

[AntifaPuddin’Pop @Andie00471]

Oh looky looky, the Big Beautiful Bill retains taxes on tips, overtime AND social security. Y'all got scammed. Again.

[Karly Kingsley @karlykingsley]

I genuinely can’t find the words for how wild it is that Democrats are trying to stop a bill that will devastate red states…while red state voters are cheering it on instead of asking their Republican reps why they aren’t protecting them.

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

Dear @SenSchumer

How is that Republicans can get EVERY single Democrat, including you, to vote to confirm Marco Rubio but you can't get four Republicans not to vote for the worst bill literally in history?

[Alexander McCoy @AlexanderMcCoy4]

It’s kind of weird that there wasn’t any of this “oh my god the Mayor of NYC is going to SINK the Democratic Party!!!” discourse when the current NYC Mayor was facing federal indictment for taking foreign bribes?

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

Shocking how bad this bill is:

- 17 million would lose health care

- 30% higher electricity costs

- Millions of manufacturing and construction jobs destroyed

- Biggest ever cut in food assistance for families, kids, veterans

- $4 trillion in deficits

- $1 trillion in tax cuts for millionaires & billionaires

People should be on the phones, in the streets, and telling everyone who’ll listen

[Brian Tyler Cohen @briantylercohen]

Never bet against the Republicans' willingness to sell out after spending weeks feigning concern. It's all an act. They're all self-serving cowards who will put party over country every single time.

[MeatEater @MeatEaterTV]

Every now and then, the good guys win.

Thanks to thousands of voices, millions of acres of public land were erased from the chopping block.

One battle down. More to come.

For now, the land’s still ours. Breathe it in.

Putin's obese Hungarian pet kleptocrat Orban tried to ban Budapest's annual Gay Pride March, but it succeeded only in making today's the biggest in history.

I express my closeness to martyred Ukraine—to the children, the young people, the elderly, and especially to families who mourn their loved ones. I share your sorrow for the prisoners and victims of this senseless war.
