Regular reminder that when we tried *twice* last Congress to keep Roe v. Wade as the law of the land, every single republican in Congress voted no.

Once again the corrupt republican Supreme Court is rewriting laws it doesnโ€™t like to flood your water with poison. Here is one more reason I support expanding the Court to balance these rabid republican judges.

Breaking news: The Supreme Court on Thursday cut back the power of the Environmental Protection Agency to regulate the nationโ€™s wetlands and waterways, another setback for the agencyโ€™s authority to combat pollution. wapo.st/3q9g6Nx
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
All 9 judges agreed that the EPA overstepped its authority and that the plaintiffs' property should not be subject to EPA regulation. However, 4 judges disagreed with the majority's opinion on the limits of EPA authority with respect to wetlands. nytimes.com/2023/05/25/us/โ€ฆ

With Taylor Swift in concert in our district this weekend weโ€™ve introduced my bill to regulate broken live events ticketing. Itโ€™s named in honor of the millions of Bruce, Taylor and other fans who are tired of being gouged. At long last letโ€™s finally make the market fair ๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ

Apropos of nothing ron desantis wants to outlaw womenโ€™s freedom and ban books. Heโ€™s turned his state into a laboratory for fascist ideas and rightwing extremism. This is the future ron and republicans want.

Later today weโ€™re voting on a cruel republican bill to kill debt relief for over 40,000,000 Americans. Just a reminder republicans are also suing in the Supreme Court to screw working Americans as a graduation present ๐ŸŽ for students.

A bullet from an assault weapon can travel nearly triple the speed of sound. It liquefies tissue and vaporizes bone. It destroys childrenโ€™s faces. Last year 99% of House republicans voted no to banning war weapons like the one used in Uvalde one year ago today.

To House republicans not destroying the entire American economy and throwing millions into depression is a โ€œconcession.โ€

McCarthy is asked by @mkraju what concessions Republicans are willing to make on the debt limit talks. KOM: โ€œweโ€™re going to raise the debt ceiling.โ€

Clarence Thomasโ€™s billionaire benefactor is telling Congress weโ€™re not allowed to probe the corrupt republican Supreme Court and that Clarence Thomas can accept as many bribes as he wants.

SCOOP: Here's the letter that Justice Clarence Thomas's benefactor Harlan Crow sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee last night. His lawyers, from top firm Gibson Dunn, are arguing Congress doesn't have the authority to investigate the Supreme Court. bloomberg.com/news/articles/

While holding the nation hostage and threatening to blow up the entire American economy this is what republicans are up to today in Washington. They think itโ€™s all a joke and they donโ€™t give a damn about you.

As our economy teeters on total disaster because of the republican debt crisis itโ€™s important to spell out exactly what will happen if republicans succeed๏ฟผ ๐Ÿงต ย  To start, full Social Security checks will stop.

Elite media coverage of the republican debt crisis is bad. There canโ€™t be a negotiation with a side that is threatening to blow up the entire economy. You cannot reward piracy. The stakes of the republican crisis are cataclysmic for most Americans.

I'm not a big fan of the "both sides" trope, but this NYT story about how both sides would be to blame if Republicans shoot the hostage is really, really bad nymag.com/intelligencer/

Republicans threw trillions of dollars at big business billionaires and now refuse to pay for their stupid policies. This crisis is solely a republican creation.
Quote Tweet
Republicans repeatedly said the Trump tax cuts would pay for themselves. They ended up costing us trillions

Our economy is standing on the edge of complete cataclysm solely because of republicans. If republicans blow up the economy for spite, tens of millions will be immiserated, Americaโ€™s credibility will be destroyed, and none of our lives will be the same.
Quote Tweet
The real cost of a Treasury default isn't that the economy will crash and unemployment rise, it's that interest rates on Treasury securities will be higher FOREVER. This will cost taxpayers billions of dollars per year FOREVER. And for nothing.

As we lurch closer to complete economic catastrophe we are only here because one man the republican โ€œleaderโ€ covets his title more than standing up to extremists in his caucus and standing up for America.

Democrats want to end junk fees from greedy banks, airlines, cable companies, phone providers, Ticketmaster, and other companies that steal from you. Republicans want to keep them.

I keep seeing demands that Pres Biden โ€œnegotiateโ€ more with republicans. What are we negotiating - that republicans won't destroy the country? Any pirate that grabs concessions will only be emboldened to take new hostages next time.

DEBT LIMIT TALKS between the White House and House Republicans have been paused, per multiple sources involved in the talks. "We're at an impasse," a source involved with the talks tells me. Not one issue, but multiple issues have proven problematic, I am told.

Regular reminder that Clarence Thomas also heard election cases while his wife conspired to overthrow democracy. Clarence Thomas is corrupt as hell and should resign from the Supreme Court.

Because of republican political hack judges stealing womenโ€™s freedom, crushing Americansโ€™ voting rights, and flooding the streets with guns the Supreme Court is more unpopular than its been in generations.
