"Am I the Cuomo in this situation?" Democrats' youth movement is heading to Arizona, where 25-year-old Deja Foxx is making noise, but frontrunner Adelita Grijalva should make a tougher out than a certain former NY guv. huffpost.com/entry/arizona-…

The Plot to Effectively Ban Abortion Nationwide Is Unfolding Before Our Eyes "'Aggressive incrementalism' can do real damage to abortion access without attracting broad outcry or mass mobilization." From @SusanRinkunas: autonomynews.co/the-plot-to-ef…

The big bill gives ICE $45 billion for new jails, which is five times the annual budget for federal prisons, and $29 billion for new ICE agents as Trump openly muses about deporting native-born US citizens.

It’s hard to convey the scope of pain that will hit Americans if GOP's “Big Beautiful Bill” becomes law. Rich get richer Poorest get kicked down ICE detaining American kids Clean energy jobs gone Student loans harder to get An assault on American life tinyurl.com/3y6d3y4k

the Senate-passed version of the Big Beautiful Bill has a wacky SNAP cut provision, rewritten to win over Lisa Murkowski, that appears to give states an incentive make MORE erroneous SNAP payments instead of fewer. House members are literally laughing at it

Almost every baby born in the U.S. automatically gets a Social Security number after their parents check a box on a hospital form. How's THAT gonna work without birthright citizenship? huffpost.com/entry/birthrig…

Four of today's big SCOTUS decisions were 6-3 votes along ideological lines. *Nationwide injunctions *Obamacare coverage *LGBTQ+ books in schools *Restrictions to porn access A reminder that Mitch McConnell gave us this court by playing dirty. huffpost.com/entry/mitch-mc…

The end of Roe v. Wade has cost the US more than $133 billion annually. From @JulianneMcShane: motherjones.com/politics/2025/…

NEW: The shady provision in the GOP tax bill that makes it nearly impossible to sue the Trump admin for breaking laws -- essentially allowing Trump to operate as a king -- is likely getting axed after the Senate parliamentarian said it breaks Senate rules. huffpost.com/entry/gop-tax-…

Tomorrow is the Dem primary for NYC mayor. It's now a tight race between Cuomo & Mamdani. It'll be interesting to see if NYers take into account Cuomo's multiple scandals, including allegations of sexual harassment substantiated by three investigations. huffpost.com/entry/andrew-c…

Tonight affirms the influence of the top US military commander in the Middle East—who oversaw expanded support for Netanyahu under Biden & has exceptionally close ties to Israel & Trump. Some background on Erik Kurilla, a critical player in what’s next: huffpost.com/entry/erik-kur…
