Thom Tillis says we can die in order to "satisfy the president's objective", which, if you haven't figured out, is to kill the poor. Elect him out in the midterms. #Democracy #ThomTillis #NorthCarolina #Medicaid #Medicare #ItsACult

Call your Senator today using the 5calls app. "This bill is a 'significant restriction on the authority of federal courts to hold government officials in contempt when they violate court orders." "Without the contempt power, judicial orders are meaningless and can be ignored.”

The Rules Committee meets at 1 AM on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning to ram through this disastrous bill. Why? Because they don't want you to see them ripping healthcare from millions of Americans. You do not hold a hearing for a bill at 1 AM unless you're completely ashamed of it.

While this is overall a good thing, please know that the reason those GOP members voted no is because they claim there are not ENOUGH cuts to social security and medicare. This buys us time but it is even more important to call your representatives. #StopTrump #SocialSecurity #Medicare #Medicaid

One of my special interests is the study of death cults. In almost every one of them, the leader dies (either by their own hand or the cult's) right after they declare themselves God or say that they are the closest person to God. Food for thought. #TrumpIsDying #NoKings #Democracy

Everyone should see this clip. Yes, we all know he is in deep mental decline, but it is also striking how much weight he's lost with no obvious cause. Couple that with all these golf trips and it's clear he's getting medical treatment every week. #TrumpIsDying

🚨BREAKING: In a win for voters, North Carolina settles with voting rights groups and DNC to permanently block part of SB 747. The law required officials to reject some voters' ballots due to address verification issues and offered no remedy to fix the problem. Paige and I explain.
