Bike lanes are impractical bc you can’t use them if you’re elderly and need to go to Costco to stock up on groceries and also on the same trip go to Menards to refill your propane tank.

@melodymercadotv The fact that it’s 4th of July weekend bothers me the most. We went from fireworks and awesome free concerts to the park being closed off.

'Vacations.'

The word is 'vacations.'

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

But universities have to be apolitical in order to keep their tax free status?

[BBS @therealbevin]

@panagis21 Happy Birthday!! And big hugs to you all as you navigate milestones this year.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

While Republicans celebrate the passage of the largest Medicaid cut in history, the Curtis Medical Center in Nebraska announced it will shut down as a result of these horrific cuts — the first of many hospitals to close.

This is a dark day for rural America and for our country.

[BBS @therealbevin]

@Friesein Oh no!!!

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Weird priorities. President Trump is illegally withholding $7 billion Congress appropriated for afterschool and summer programs, teacher training and other educational needs. Meanwhile, he’s demanding a trillion in tax breaks for the 1%.

That's not what the American people want.

[Rep. Gwen Moore @RepGwenMoore]

Wait. What?

Trump has no idea this bill strips 17 million people of healthcare?

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Many seniors can’t afford dental care, hearing aids or glasses.

I’m proud that all Democrats supported my amendment last night to expand Medicare to cover dental, hearing and vision paid for by cutting prescription drug costs for Medicare in half.

No Republicans voted for it.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Quick reminder for Republican officials, who seem to need a refresher today:

If you think a bill is bad, you vote NO.
If you think it’s good, you vote YES.

You do NOT vote for things you deem a failure.

Good chat 👍🏽

[Lakota Man @LakotaMan1]

So, why am I paying federal taxes for public services when the government is no longer providing those services — to the public?

[Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth]

BREAKING: Republicans just blocked my amendment to ensure Veterans, foster kids and the homeless aren’t denied SNAP benefits.

There is no one Republicans won’t betray to ram through tax cuts for their billionaire buddies.

[Senator Sasha Renée Pérez @SashaReneePerez]

Undocumented immigrants can't receive Federal Medicare or Medicaid. You’re a member of Congress, you should know this.

[Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke]

John Cornyn just cast the deciding vote to stop millions of Texans from being able to see a doctor, take food away from kids, close down rural hospitals, crush solar and wind jobs, and give our tax dollars to the wealthiest people in America.

Texas must hold him accountable.

[Rep. Anna V. Eskamani, PhD 🔨 @AnnaForFlorida]

Imagine if the same time, energy and public funds were used to build affordable housing instead.

[Katherine Clark @WhipKClark]

What JD Vance considers "immaterial":

42 million people going hungry.
16 million people losing their health care.
300 hospitals shutting down.
200 Planned Parenthood health centers closing.
And countless Americans losing their lives.

[Bruce Bartlett @BruceBartlett]

Fun fact: The German Reichstag passed the Enabling Act in 1933 because legislators thought they would be killed if they voted against it.
