These asshats lie so easily! A job does NOT guarantee HC! Many employers do NOT offer HC. And if they do, it’s so expensive that the deductibles & co pays on top of the monthly HC deduction kills their paychecks. *Many employers only employ part time workers to avoid HC costs altogether!

By relying chiefly on information technology experts, Elon Musk ended up stumbling through Washington and sometimes cutting employees vital to President Donald Trump’s own agenda. In many cases, fired employees were rehired, adding administrative costs to an effort aimed at cutting expenditures.

There is no point to canceling guidance on emergency abortions except to kill women. Like his attack on cancer research, Trump is using his power to kill people. This should be enough to remove him. apple.news/AWfKytyksRau...

When Republicans fire cancer doctors to fund tax breaks for billionaires, we fight back. Health care is our bread & butter. We’re the party of Medicare, the ACA, and cures—not cruelty. You get cancer, you shouldn’t go broke. We’re for cures. They’re for cuts.

It’s not about the ships. It’s about reshaping American identity, weaponizing patriotism & deciding whose legacy gets to sail under the flag. We’re watching a purge, not just of people, but of the values they stood for. This is what happens when bigotry gets dressed up as “strength.”
