You can call it tariffs. You can call it spicy pickles. You can call it purple monkeys. You can call it not tariffs. A tax is a tax is a tax is a tax.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Five things Donald Trump accomplished this week: 1. Promised more tax cuts for billionaires 2. Further abandoned our ally Ukraine 3. Flip-flopped on tariffs and tanked the stock market 4. Completely ignored skyrocketing prices 5. Went golfing Hope this helps, Elon.

We are not robbing Peter to pay for Elon’s tax cuts! It's cruel and irresponsible to deny schoolchildren the services they need just so the wealthy can get bigger tax breaks.

I grew up on welfare, school lunch and SNAP. Those programs are 💯 responsible for me surviving to adulthood. You think poor people are lazy? Maybe your thinking is lazy. SNAP stats: 79% are working households 50%+ are seniors and children 87.8% were born in the USA (unlike Musk and Ted Cruz)

Andrew & Tristan Tate—accused human traffickers & Trump fanboys—are now in the U.S. after their travel ban was lifted. Why are these predators being allowed in? Because Trump enables abusers & rapists because he is one.

NAACP has a list also. People need to do their best to minimize shopping at businesses that don't respect all customers. It hasn't even been that hard. There are good alternatives available to pretty much anything, even Amazon. I haven't shopped there in months & haven't been on Prime in years.

go.bsky.app/EcT2R6r In light of the breaking news that head of Project 2025 has directed all agencies to prepare for massive layoffs, consider following these Alt accounts. Some are close allies but all are working to save our Fed govt. There are a few Canadian accounts too as I love our friends.

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.
