Here is a list of critical federal health programs for families that they want to cut. Without these programs families will have fewer resources to care for loved ones, young and old. Those on the edge will fall into poverty. Call your reps.

My friends, what the Trump regime has unleashed on America is intolerable. It is time — beyond time — for a national civic uprising. We must take action. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/a-bigger-threat-to-free-speech-than

Republicans are trying again to make Trump a king. Unchecked power is a terrible thing in good hands. It's a country ending disaster in Trump's hands. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-i...

If Trumpty-Dumpty is working with the Russians to screw up America, he's doing a great job. Eggs, $11 a dozen. Health & Human Services down the dumper, ditto VA. If you call Social Security, they tell you to call back later. Guys 'n gals, this is more fucked up than Peter O'Toole on his birthday.

Don’t drink and text.

DOGE has repeatedly failed to find evidence of widespread Social Security fraud. So why does the Trump regime keep bringing it up? It's part of a deliberate ploy to cut benefits — using the false pretext of "fraud" — and have Congress use the savings to give billionaires a giant tax cut.

LETS GO!!!

This flew under the radar, but Trump revoked a minimum wage hike for companies that contract with the government. An estimated 390,000 workers will now see significant pay cuts. It's not surprising that Trump's populism is fake, but it's hardly ever been more clear.

Same.

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Trump: widening inequality and the unchecked power of billionaires. There's no "center" anymore between a takeover of the government by oligarchs and true freedom. Dems need to learn this.

CNBC is calling it the Tesla Chain Saw Massacre. 🤣

America is choosing totalitarianism. The economy's crashing. Food will only get more expensive. Unelected officials shut down vital agencies and stripped others of their powers. America is an untrustworthy ally/potential enemy to the rest of the world. All to hate trans people & immigrants. Damnit!

Who pays Trump's new tariffs? Spoiler alert: it's not Canada, Mexico, or China. It's YOU. https://youtu.be/AfVGUiet39E?si=UEYERynxqVk8ORMZ

Every accusation is an intention.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Don’t buy today. Give the greedheads a taste of their own medicine.

Ready Fire Aim is a lousy way to govern.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?

Pandemics do not begin with official announcements. They start with quiet deletions, missing reports, and assurances that there is "no cause for concern." Pay attention.

What can I do to protect myself against respiratory diseases such as #influenza and #COVID19?

We did not have a FAA administrator to respond to the tragic crash last night in DC. Why? Because Elon Musk pushed the head appointed under Biden to resign after he fined SpaceX for failing to follow safety license requirements. www.theverge.com/news/603113/...

And the gulf is growing wider.

Trump is the consequence rather than the cause of the anti-democratic surge. Here's how the Supreme Court's infamous Citizens United decision — issued 15 years ago today — overwhelmed our political system with money and brought us to our current moment.
