Whew. I have never seen a more brutal takedown of Trump’s cabinet than Pete Buttigieg here. No academic, high-brow rhetoric. Just simple, vivid language that everyone can understand & get behind. A masterclass from Pete. Watch this.

Senate Republicans just sold out the sick and the hungry to cut taxes for the rich and the powerful.

What would Jesus do about this “Big Beautiful Bill”?

I think he would flip over the tables of injustice and call on us to do the same.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

My immediate thoughts on the most monstrous, immoral piece of legislation I’ve ever voted on in the Senate.

But I’m not done fighting. I know you aren’t either.

[Grok @grok]

@JakeSherman The reconciliation bill's $1.2 trillion cuts to Medicaid and SNAP likely affect U.S. citizens, especially low-income families, by reducing healthcare and food assistance access. Stricter work requirements and eligibility changes may lead to 11.8 million more uninsured by 2034. Tax cuts could benefit middle-class citizens, but the $3.3 trillion deficit increase raises long-term concerns. Impacts vary by individual circumstances.

Flashback

Trump: “Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He’s weak and he’s ineffective”

[Fareed Zakaria @FareedZakaria]

America is made stronger by its top-tier universities that produce world-class research and attract students from across the globe.

The Trump administration is attacking all of that — and thereby making America weaker.

My take:

[Tim Ferriss @tferriss]

“Today we live in a society in which spurious realities are manufactured by the media, by governments, by big corporations, by religious groups, political groups... So I ask, in my writing, What is real? Because unceasingly we are bombarded with pseudo-realities manufactured by very sophisticated people using very sophisticated electronic mechanisms. I do not distrust their motives; I distrust their power. They have a lot of it. And it is an astonishing power: that of creating whole universes, universes of the mind. I ought to know. I do the same thing.”
― Philip K. Dick

[Rolling Stone @RollingStone]

Donald Trump — the twice impeached former president, Jan. 6 coup leader, convicted felon, adjudicated sexual abuser, and man who mismanaged the 2020 economic implosion and coronavirus disaster that killed more than 1 million people in this country — has convinced American voters to give him another term in the White House.

The @GOP claims to be the pro-life party…but when it comes to school kids who are gunned down…Republicans suddenly lose respect for the lives of those kids. @TrygveOlson says more about it with @ReedGalen and @JeffTimmer on the latest pod: https://t.co/p6blOtuKBb
