Holy shit. If I didn't know better, I'd swear this had to be a deep fake. But no, it's just MAGA being MAGA.

Guess what: because of how badly the GOP tax bill would blow up the national debt, it would eventually trigger a budget law that would force $535 BILLION in cuts to Medicare. It’s downright criminal. They’re slashing Medicare through the back door to cut taxes for billionaires.

The Trump administration has made it clear it wants almost no foreigners coming into the country, even temporarily. At what point will they start making it impossible for American citizens to leave?

Congress needs to pass a law that no law enforcement officers--of any agency--can wear masks intended to hide their identity while on duty. They need to do that NOW.

64 days with no aid reaching Gaza. No food, water or medicine. Children are starving. Netanyahu’s extremist government now says it will occupy Gaza & put mercenaries in charge of distributing aid, instead of the UN and other aid groups. Despicable. No more US support for Netanyahu’s war machine.

Every damn day there's at least one news story showing how Trump is making us less safe. The only question is what type of crisis will do us in: Another pandemic? Foreign terrorist attack? Domestic terrorist attack? Total economic collapse? Our vulnerability grows daily.

I'm pretty sure Trump could build 10 prisons for less than it would cost to make Alcatraz a working prison. Not to mention the fact that it would be crazy expensive to operate. There were good reasons it was shut down decades ago.

Trump better keep his hands and his tariffs off of #BritBox. That is really a bridge too far.

From the Small Business Assn's Office of Advocacy: "Small businesses are the lifeblood of the U.S. economy: they create two-thirds of net new jobs and drive U.S. innovation and competitiveness. A new report shows that they account for 44 percent of U.S. economic activity."

We need to keep this military parade from happening, and we need to do it now. It's only 6 weeks away. We need to flood congress and the White House with phone calls and letters.

Ask him to name the 12 apostles. Ask if he can name even 4 of them.

Thank you, Mark Zuckerberg, for confirming that I made the right choice in deleting my Facebook and Instagram accounts and basically removing myself from the Meta-verse. It clearly is going to get worse and worse.
