Republicans looked the country in the eye and made a promise. When they rewrote the food stamp program last year, they said children would not be touched.

Pregnant women would not be touched.

Families with young kids would not be touched. They said it on the House floor, on the record, in front of everyone.

A year later we know the truth.

More than 776,000 children have been cut off from food assistance. In the states that track participation by age, kids make up nearly half of everyone who lost benefits.

These are kids who went to bed hungry because a politician wanted a talking point. 

We must be a country that feeds its children. We used to believe that was the bare minimum. Take care of the kid who is hungry through no fault of their own.

The people who broke that promise should have to answer for it, and in November they will.

Trump: "G7 used to be G8. They should have kept the G8. You probably wouldn't have the war with Russia and Ukraine if they did."

FACT CHECK: Russia was excluded from the G8 in March 2014 as a direct response to its illegal invasion and annexation of Ukraine's Crimean peninsula.

Future generations won’t ask what happened. They’ll ask who allowed this.

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

Trump is trying to shift the decision about who gets to vote from the states to his administration, using benign sounding administrative procedures, and an executive order that few people are paying attention to. There’s nothing more important to be aware of right now than this. Details here: https://t.co/8dvrOO8Zy6

🚨 WHERE IS THE MONEY? Blundell reveals that Trump and his cronies gained access to the Kennedy Center’s accounts, and $17 million in operational funds has vanished! This is blatant looting of public institutions. We demand a full investigation now! 🔥😡

Scott Bessent, who is the US treasury secretary, advised Donald Trump not to host Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the Oval Office, having called the Ukrainian president a “little fucker”, a “special-needs child” and “Mr Bean on crack”, according to a new book.’

They’ve arrested more people for touching the peeling paint at the Reflecting Pool than they’ve arrested from the Epstein files.

[Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal]

Some good news for a change! A judge ruled that Trump’s freeze on processing immigration applications for 39 countries is illegal and that processing must restart immediately.

This ruling is a step in the right direction. Let’s keep up the fight.

BREAKING: All the grass on the White House lawn has been utterly destroyed by Trump's stupid UFC ring.

You can be assured this will somehow cost millions more in taxpayer dollars to fix.

It is just the latest disaster in Donald Trump's never-ending trail of destruction.

He's ruined so many beautiful things around Washington and around the nation, all because he is a stupid, selfish, narcissistic pedophile with the taste and maturity of a twelve-year-old.

Can you imagine the right-wing response if Obama had done even ONE of these things?

He likes to call himself a builder. But destruction follows wherever he goes.

[Marlene Robertson🇨🇦 @marlene4719]

Trump is out of his motherfucking mind.

He’s untethered to reality and living in Crazy Town.

[Common Sense 🇺🇸💙 @commons96055467]

Our congress is on a coma. Trump doesn’t have any guardrails for his crimes. Everyday he steals our tax dollars and our assets and laugh at us in our faces. The Qatari plane is one billion of our tax dollars he just stole. What is wrong with us?

[Adam Mockler @adammocklerr]

At 9AM, JD Vance claimed the Strait of Hormuz was open on Fox News.

At 10AM, Iran announced the Strait remains closed.

It could not be more clear that the Trump admin has absolutely no control over the situation right now.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

Can we just quit giving Americans’ hard earned money to this blood thirsty war criminal? Peace in the Middle East would follow quickly.

[Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker]

Outrageous.

Dr. Justin Ryder, a pediatric surgeon and expert at Northwestern, was booted from a conference for sharing an article on federal cuts to biomedical research.

This is the impact of Trump's administration.

I simply don't understand how the US does not have any mechanisms to stop Trump's physical destruction of Washington, DC.
This country appears completley lawless.

[MM  @adgirlMM]

We've been forced to pay into social security our whole damn working lives, but this little weasel and the Republicans think we don't deserve OUR MONEY back in full when we retire? They say we're not "entitled" to it.

Fuck that.
See you in November, GOP. 🔥

NEW: Judge Leonie Brinkema ordered DOJ on 6/12 to file a “status report” within 7 days to confirm “no payments have been made from the Anti-Weaponization Fund, and that no funding has been transferred to an account for [that] Fund, or if it has, that that transfer has been reversed.” As of this morning, no status report has been filed.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

A brand new bridge between Detroit and Canada is finished and ready to open. It would speed up traffic for millions of trucks, cut delays for American businesses, and help the auto industry that employs people in every state. There is just one problem.

Donald Trump won’t let it open.

Here is why.

The family that owns the old bridge stands to lose business when the new one opens. So in January, they gave one million dollars to a pro-Trump super PAC.

Weeks later they met with Trump’s Commerce Secretary.

He called Trump.

Hours after that, Trump announced he would block the new bridge. The opening was set for June 12. It got canceled the day before. The bridge sits there finished and empty.

Now here is the part that should make every taxpayer angry.

Canada paid for the entire bridge.

Every dollar. And the United States already owns half of it for free. Trump is holding up a bridge we got for nothing, to protect a donor who wrote him a check, while picking a fight with our closest ally and biggest trading partner.

This is corruption in plain sight.

A billionaire pays, and the President delivers. American workers and businesses pay the price.

Open the bridge. A government should work for the people, not for whoever writes the biggest check.

He was sentenced to ten years. Republicans let him out after 6 months. Disgusting.
