Healthcare for seniors is not waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is not waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon is waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens is waste, fraud, and abuse.

Please read Col Fram’s post below. She represents the leadership we want and need and what this SecDef and admin is doing is so fucking wrong, stupid, and cruel. Thank you for your leadership, character, and visibility, ma’am!

Pause the video to find out what kind of cat you are. Not a personality test. Just your cat form, as revealed by the universe in its confusion. Science was not involved. This is all based on vibes and zero research. There are 8 cats. Have fun 😸😽🤍

I'm Eileen Laubacher. A retired Rear Admiral and the Democrat running against Lauren Boebert. I know what sacrifice means and service looks like. Boebert doesn’t have a clue. Can you help me get to 5k followers to show her we can do this?!

SecState Rubio claims that no on has died because of USAID cuts and suggested that I had lied in my reporting. So here I show him photos of specific children who have died because of the Trump administration's reckless cancelation of aid: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/31/o...

I wonder how many more “we didn’t vote for this” bullshit articles are going to come at us from mainstream news sources asking us to feel sorry for these people who actively chose fascism over democracy thinking it would only effect other people.

"One Big Beautiful Bill Act" is a stupid name. But more importantly, it will kick millions of Americans off their health care, including CHILDREN, it will spike premiums, and explode our national debt. It's a raw deal for middle-class Americans and a huge giveaway to billionaires.

We need some good SecBro memes. Like good ones. Here’s one. Need more. Because having the pick-me cool captain as clueless SecDef demands it. The emperor has no clothes — and if we don’t constantly shout it, people might forget.

Once upon a time, we got rid of a government that liked to tax us without asking us. Sometimes, history repeats itself. This is re just the EU, and just the latest crazy BS illegal tax he’s threatening. It’ll cost you ≈$4,000/yr, for nothing. It’s extortion.

If you’re tired of calling House Rules Committee members (but keep doing it anywhere) take a break to do this instead. Lots of homework this week, so sorry 🫠🙃

The GOP loves blaming the national debt on govt spending that helps millions of people. What they won't tell you? The real culprit is giveaways to corporations and the rich. If not for the regressive tax cuts under Bush & Trump, we would have a stable debt-to-GDP ratio.

Two news stories. A black Congresswoman enters an ICE facility & is charged- no evidence of violence. A white woman enters the Capitol and busts things up & is killed while trespassing. Her family gets $5 million. This Administration is doing it in broad daylight. #Racism #Facism #Resist

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Because of Trump and Musk’s cuts to USDA, WA schools lost $3.6M, food banks lost $4.7M, and family farms face $15.4M in lost revenue. Our communities and farmers lose out- while big corporations win. The Trump admin. is selling our communities out.

Unconfirmed, but if this is true it's despicable and we need answers and accountability. If anyone has any more information on this please share in the comments.
