We need to wear them down before they wear us down! Stop shopping Maga supported corporations, don’t buy cars if at all possible, don’t spend tourism money, don’t fly unless absolutely necessary, and KEEP continue being LOUDER than them!

I've met @repmarktakano.bsky.social on several occasions, and he is an honorable man. I stand with his statement, as well as his commitment to his constituents; something his Republican counterparts have traded in for billionaire tax cuts and fealty to a wannabe king.

Musk is also doing the same exact thing to our Social Security. Closing down all the offices. Firing everyone.

Notably, the VA invested $16 billion in EHR modernization under Trump, influenced by his associates at Mar-a-Lago, despite their lack of official roles. Now, Doug Collins plans to cut 70,000–80,000 jobs, raising concerns about service cuts and wasted investment.

Don't worry, we will be told it is better than before, no matter how bad it gets.

Interview: with USDA auditor and army vet who was fired! Farmers left hanging. USDA whistleblower exposes loan freezes, broken contracts, and vanishing oversight. Rural America is paying the price while those in charge look the other way.. https://youtu.be/h1BX5Ys9Vg0

This is a reprehensible plan that even as "a plan" has likely caused significant distress to patients and employees. For what purpose? To make a political statement? Grab a headline?*It is totally unnecessary and serves no practical purpose.
Shameful.

Imagine 😡 repaying our Veterans who might make $30k a year for their service by getting a pink slip from a 19-year-old Doge nick named "Big Balls" who, because his proximity to Elon makes a six-figure salary paid by our taxes.
🤨

In addition to cutting the VA, this anti-veteran administration is also making working conditions more difficult for the federal employees who remain there. https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/06/politics/crisis-responders-veterans-hotline-doge/index.html

I am a 100% disabled US veteran that lives in Germany. I'd love to share my story to call people to action. The things happening in the government are not normal.

Also, Representative Green set the standard for Democrats yesterday. Would love to see more follow him.

Why would any young American wanna enlist when they see how Felon47 $hits on Veterans and see how their service also will be devalued by the Republican Party?
