What a different world we could have.

The U.S. government spent $710 billion in Trump’s first month, an increase from the same period a year prior. Cost-cutting efforts are ineffective, and job losses are occurring without clear justification.

Love this one!!

Shadow Surgeon General @vinguptamd.bsky.social giving you the advice you need

Evil.

In case anyone wonders why I keep a “Kids Korner” in my church office. These preschool creators came in to play this morning! 💙

Pancreatic cancer is notoriously hard to treat, with a mortality rate of about 90%. In today’s episode,  we talk with a scientist  who is fighting the cancer with an mRNA vaccine. Listen here 🎧: https://buff.ly/3ES4ndw

Get in good trouble, necessary trouble.

This is evil. Pure evil.

🔥 @aoc.bsky.social : “The numbers don’t add up. $880 BILLION is a devastating cut to Medicaid, and an attack on Medicare. Anyone who votes for this budget is voting to cut Medicaid and gut health care for Medicare recipients in 🇺🇸.” Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGg7cr0...

7 years ago today, I met my son 💙

Began my day with 5 Calls. Have you called your elected officials yet today? #useyourvoice

This is what a deal with the devil looks like👇 @housegop.bsky.social JUST VOTED TO CUT Medicaid, SNAP benefits, school meals, & housing assistance all in exchange for giving corporations & billionaires a tax cut all at the  expense of the middle class.

Always, in all ways

Democrats showed up tonight to defend healthcare for 37 million children & oppose $800M+ in cuts to Medicaid. Republicans voted for these cuts - which 71% of Trump supporters oppose - to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. Shame on them. They must be held accountable. thehill.com/policy/healt...

$19,000,000,000,000.00

Medicaid pays for 42% of US births. The pro-birth party is making amateur choices.

As of October 2024, approximately 72 million Americans were enrolled in Medicaid, representing about 21% of the U.S. population. It provides health coverage to low-income individuals, including children, pregnant women, adults, seniors, and people with disabilities. 

The House will vote TODAY on whether to advance devastating cuts to Medicaid that would destroy lifesaving programs for people with disabilities, children, seniors, and more. Call your representative now and tell them to save Medicaid at (202) 224-3121.

They’re letting a megalomaniac billionaire desperate for validation play President – if you’re surprised people are pissed, you need to get out of your DC bubble. Nothing more American than hating a bad boss, especially an illegitimate one like Musk. Republicans just don’t like being called on it.

Republicans are getting ready to go after our voting rights. The SAVE Act isn’t about election security — it’s about mass voter suppression. Call your representative and tell them to vote NO on the SAVE Act: indivisible.org/resource/cal... And contact your senators: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Today marks three years since Russia began its illegal, unprovoked, full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The human costs of Putin’s war are staggering. The world must continue to stand with Ukraine and ensure that Russia is held accountable for its atrocities. #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦

Wanna fire up the Resistance? This’ll do it. Yeah, this is a hard pass from me.

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

I know there have been a fair number of conflicting dates, so, let's organize and settle on February 28th to start. Market Blackout. No buying. No major retailers. No Amazon. For one day, we grind consumerism to a halt. (And with a little planning, this shouldn't be hard.) Let's do it.

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!

Today, we honor the 216th birthday of Abraham Lincoln by carrying out his legacy in the continued fight for democracy & truth. The party he built has been bastardized - he wouldn't recognize it today. With our institutions & freedoms in danger, Lincoln's memory is more important now than ever.

Promise: "I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One." Reality:

Chloe Cooley was an enslaved woman in what is now Canada. Witnesses to the cruelty she endured at the hands of her enslaver was the catalyst for the passage of the Act to Limit Slavery in Upper Canada in 1793. This law paved the way for the abolition of slavery throughout the British Empire (1833)

Under oath, Kash Patel said he was unaware of plans to dismiss FBI agents before he was confirmed. Today, whistleblowers revealed Patel was reportedly directing those dismissals. Covertly. Yet another reason he must be rejected.

How about a palette cleanser as a break from insanity? This is Nora, and she is a very good girl 🐶

Folks trying to save USAID are trying to counterprogram Musk's $40 million Super Bowl ad. They're asking everyone to share this video as widely as you can today: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqUE...

I need this energy. Maybe you do, too.

Good morning and Happy Sunday to everyone who will happily and enthusiastically be reminding trump voters of ALL his broken promises because he's too busy golfing, grifting, tweeting, and being an overall tyrannical shithead. My field of "I Told You So's" is full.

Interestingly, in Loper Bright vs Raimondo, the conservative majority on SCOTUS ruled just last year that the judiciary can in fact overrule regulatory decisions made by the executive branch especially when those decisions are not specified by Congress.

‼️

A current diagnosis of our national polity. Of the 3 branches of government, the legislative + judicial are becoming increasingly irrelevant. The executive is becoming fused with the (billionaire) $ sector. Our political hope is that the legislative + judicial wake up to their growing irrelevance.
