I worked for the VA for over a decade longer than Doug Collins and I can promise you that cutting jobs will kill Veterans. The VA was already woefully understaffed thanks to Republicans constantly curtailing funding and benefits.

Legality aside, how pathetic for the American head of state to fly around in the plane he got as a valentine from the Emir of Qatar. A kept little man.

ICE will yank a brown guy out of his house for a decades-old charge, but a certain orange individual with more indictments than teeth in a jack-o’-lantern gets VIP treatment. Wild how justice works when it comes with a tan filter.

Ages 0-4 are the most important, emotionally & intellectually, in human development. Yet, in the US, we have a very high rate of childhood poverty and a broken child care system. Congratulations to New Mexico for leading the way forward for high quality, free child care. Other states must follow.

Along with the obvious emoluments issue, why would you ever in a million years accept something as important in terms of intelligence & safety as Air Force One from a foreign government?

Trump is accepting a luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from the royal family of Qatar — a gift that is to be available for use by Trump as the new Air Force One until shortly before he leaves office, at which time ownership of the plane will be transferred to the Trump presidential library foundation.

When you watch these heartbreaking videos showing the cruel and thuggish behavior of ICE agents, remember that these people are not being FORCED to commit these acts — they do so willingly. They could quit their jobs at any time. They could say “enough!” ICE agents CHOOSE to do what they do.

Medicaid covers... -40% of births nationwide -50% of kids with special needs -72 million people in total Remember this as Republicans move to gut the program to finance tax cuts that will overwhelmingly go to the richest 1% of Americans. "Party of family values."

The gift is bad enough on its own, but can we talk about how insane it is to use a foreign-gifted jet as Air Force One Air Force One has a lot of capability that a luxury jet simply doesn’t, and that’s before we even consider the obvious spying/bugging/security concerns.

Today on Mother’s Day, let’s remember every mother deserves a livable wage, affordable child care, paid family leave, and the ability to retire with dignity. America must become a nation which treats all mothers and their kids with the respect and dignity they deserve.

ICE agents should not be permitted to wear masks. They should have their names and identification numbers clearly displayed to all. Democracy and protecting our rights depends upon public accountability. Masked agents of the state abusing and disappearing people is not exactly friendly to that.🖕🏻them

Honestly? The $400M plane from Qatar is quaint compared to his crypto scam, memecoin con, insider trading, and tariff shakedowns.

Someone tell the NY Times that Hillary is accepting a plane from Qatar. Then maybe they’ll stop being pussies and start covering it for the corruption that it is.

There’s no denying what is happening. Democracy is dying and fascism is winning. We are letting down all those who made the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms, we are losing today… and all of those who follow.

If you care about mothers on #MothersDay you should care for all mothers year round. That means you don’t cut their Medicaid, ACA subsidies, CHIPS, Medicare, Social Security, SNAP, TANF or VA benefits. You make sure their water, air & food are safe.

This video is making the rounds again for a reason. A great example of how you make your voices heard—without saying a word. Power in numbers and it sends a clear message. This is what democracy looks like: standing up to fascism, tyranny, and racism. This is the way!

It’s especially galling that AG Pam Bondi personally wrote the memo approving the gift of the Qatari airplane. Her last job was as a lobbyist for Qatar! efile.fara.gov/docs/6415-Ex...
