They’re not even hiding it: By cutting phone lines and closing offices, Republican billionaires are setting up Social Security for failure. And when your check doesn’t show up, there will be no one to call. This is their plan to end Social Security.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Here we go. I'm heading out to our favorite spot to observe the gathering of bald eagles along the icy Mississippi River but when we get back...I won't be quiet. The choice is to give up or keep pushing back. It's pretty simple to me. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

NEVER FORGET: Thanks to President Joe Biden and MVP Kamala Harris people on Medicare with a part D prescription plan will only pay $2000 out of pocket for their medications as opposed to $8000 in 2024. The Biden administration gets 100% credit for this and lowering drug prices. Happy new year! 🙏🙏💜💜

I have read many books by Jimmy Carter, but his book “A Call To Action: Women, Religion, Violence and Power” was anchored by his #Feminism, his concern about violence against #Women at home and abroad, and the misuse of #Religion in order to justify our mistreatment. RIP #JimmyCarter.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Friends of Democracy. It is up to us to spread good information. Per the last election cycle MSM abdicated its real powers to regurgitate trump talking points by tired journalists. Please make it a habit to re-post newsworthy pieces to elevate them in this sphere. Elevate independent journalists.

Candidate Trump promised to lower grocery prices, but now it seems he isn't even going to try. While champagne corks pop at Mar-a-Lago, President-elect Trump says that he can't really lower grocery prices because it's "very hard." Sad. It’s the start of a broken promise.

By not having corporate ownership or other lines of business, independent media outlets are immune from the cross pressures created by a GOP willing to weaponize government. Democracy Docket has no interest in obtaining government contracts or favors. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

Trump got his cult to stop trusting - the media. - scientists. - the courts. - law enforcement. - economists. - our closet allies. He EVEN got them to stop trusting his own spokespeople. The only person they trust is him. THAT is why we say you're in a cult.
