[Protect Kamala Harris ✊ @DisavowTrump20]

🚨NEW: Speaker Mike Johnson and House Republicans have released the proposed Trump Tax Cuts, which include a tax increase on single parents, taxing college scholarships for students, and raising taxes for homeowners.

RETWEET to let the American people know what they voted for!

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Shortly after Trump was sworn in as president, the official portrait of Retired Gen. Mark Milley, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was removed from the Pentagon hallway where portraits of previous chairmen are displayed.

Donald Trump is a tiny and petty man

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has promised that he wouldn't yank vaccines off the market, but his nomination normalizes and emboldens the anti-vaccine movement. The danger now is that diseases confined to the past become diseases of the future, @sarahzhang writes: https://t.co/JCYfjqUeZc

[Katie Porter @katieporterca]

For the first time in history—and on the last day of #PrideMonth, no less—the Supreme Court legalized discrimination against a protected class. I am furious by today's decision to green light hate and limit the LGBTQI+ community's participation in our economy. Congress must act.

@RepRalphNorman Explain your PPP loans, Representative.

[Wheatland Democrats @wheatlanddems]

@RepRalphNorman Please extend this same logic to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which you happily voted for. Big tax cuts for the wealthy mean everyone else pays more. Donors have the best representation.

[Rep. Sean Casten @RepCasten]

As Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote, “deeming race irrelevant in law does not make it so in life.”

Today's decision by the Supreme Court harmfully narrows access to higher education and undermines the progress we've made in advancing racial justice.

Can’t vote no and take credit for the dough.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

NEW: A Kentucky woman visiting her boyfriend in Texas shot her Uber driver to death because she mistakenly believed he was trying to “kidnap her and take her to Mexico.”

@NapervilleSun The 2022 vote was to recognize #Juneteenth as a paid county holiday. Each of the Republicans on the Board voted NO.

[Wheatland Democrats @wheatlanddems]

@NapervilleSun Thank you to all who took the time to write in or stand up for pubic comment. Juneteenth and Pride Month proclamations shouldn’t be partisan. The photo is of the 2022 Juneteenth vote, which passed with NO Republican support.

Will County Board comes under fire for attempt to recognize Moms for America; removes Pride and Juneteenth resolutions https://t.co/48YHyIOnZd

@NaperChamber @NapervilleIL @senatorellman Hopefully, embracing Awake and McBroom is just a coincidence & not an emerging pattern with the Naperville Chamber. Goncher and McBroom are on the same side of the aisle, btw.

[IEC @ilenviro]

Terrible way to end the day with an 11:20 pm vote by the Senate to approve HJR23, authorizing IDOT to enter into a public private partnership for the I55 managed lane project, which will increase emissions, especially in SW Chicago. Vote was 39-11. How did your Senator vote?

[Earthjustice @Earthjustice]

BREAKING: @GovKathyHochul has reached an agreement with the NY legislature to ban fossil fuels in all new buildings throughout the state in a deal that would be the first of its kind in the US. This is a major victory for a better, gas-free future in NY.

[Al Franken @alfranken]

Gee, if Clarence Thomas gets tossed cuz he didn’t report the money Crow paid for his mom’s house, Dems will have to make sure we swear in a new Justice no closer to the 2024 election than the 8 days Coney Barrett was to the 2020.

[Jeff Tiedrich @itsJeffTiedrich]

holy fucking shit, Donald Trump's tax cuts for the obscenely wealthy are responsible for a QUARTER OF OUR NATION'S ENTIRE DEBT and Republicans want to cut YOUR social security to pay for it, and that's what this debt ceiling bullshit is all about. fucking unacceptable
