And now I’m just not going to vote. Bc the Democrats continue to tell me that there is no place for me in their party. 🤷🏼♂️
Not sure how that expands your base. But good luck.
NC Dems thank you for your service.
“Washington’s reckless spending has gone unchecked, driving up deficits year after year with little accountability or oversight” - BS

I felt that.
It is a time to take action, yes. The best time was Nov. 5, 2024. PLEASE let us remember that if there is a next time!

Cut $715B from Medicaid. 8M people to lose healthcare coverage.
Why, so they can give their BILLIONAIRE friends a tax cut!
Are YOU ok with this? I'm NOT. These people hate americans.
VOTE THEM OUT!
Mr. 300 Blackout doesn't think so.
FUCK. GAVIN. NEWSOM.

Once during a crucial vote they were hand delivering paper letters to a few crucial members of Congress
Here's a great blog about it:

You have an option to make your letter available for others to send
"Three Convicted for Fraudulently Billing Over $8 Million to Medicare and Medicaid Through Opioid Addiction Treatment Clinics in Kentucky"
Save your sanctimonious tears!
And applicants could not qualify for Medicaid if they have a home that is valued at more than $1 million.”
Most Republicans don't care about their constituents,
but they do care about keeping their jobs-
Let them know we're watching, active, & will hold them accountable.
Yet here l am
Thanks Republikkkans
I also doubt they understand how hard it is to get on Medicaid and to stay on Medicaid
It’s not a handout — it keep people alive
Half the businesses in my area will collapse. It will be an economic collapse for upstate NY
Folk who can’t afford the country will never afford the city
They own the most land in my town. They are spread out over 4 towns. Employ most of the population. They help those who can - work. Those who can’t work - survive.
Medicaid can’t fail here
Upstate is MAGA ridden
Why? DEMs pour love on NYC and ignore the Adirondacks. State park nearly the size of England.
STEFANIK is a trump sweetheart and I loathe her
That's what's happening. No "libs" are being owned, no prices are coming down, no peace in the world.
Just a 400 million dollar jet and white South Africans getting the red carpet.

Give it a shot? I did. I call/email all the time to let them know what I expect and what's important to me & my community.
Having to call these sons of b****** to beg for mercy infuriates me every time I have to do it. With few exceptions, I think they let us vote just to continue the kabuki dance of democracy that they are destroying as fast as they can.
When people speak out at meetings and are dragged away what do you think that is? When ICE/HSI detainees have their phones checked for anti-government comments, what is that?
But I don't know why you are saying "you" to the one politician who IS doing what her consituents voted her to do.
You have to make your Congressman aware if he's already likely to vote how you don't want.
SHOULD we have to pressure them constantly? No, we shouldn’t, but it’s what’s happening.
But there’s plenty of evidence they can be made to respond pressure- they want to keep their jobs.
Perhaps using the phrase "You can be replaced you know"
#SaveMedicaidNow
The staff member said there was no bill to cut Medicaid and if there was he said Gill would not vote for it.
Interesting response as Gill votes with Trump 100% on everything.
With all the executive orders being signed by Trump. Can the next sitting President create executive orders to cancel the ones Trump is putting in place?????
First they came for #USAID, then they came for #Medicaid and then #SocialSecurity and then they came for me 😬
Go Govt workers we see you
Its the only thing that makes sense.

This "Big Beautiful Bill" is great for the rich.
In reality, it's a "Big BAD Bill" for the working class.
80% of the bill benefits the rich
This bill will permanently shackle the economic prospects of the working class. It destroys their future!
Then send a message via @resist.bot as emphasis.
Here’s four to choose from, or send em all!
You are arguing that Medicaid fraud should be continued, and are misleading your BlueSky followers.
If you don't agree, argue with me. Please!
During the big brawl the cowardly sheriff off in the corner- “if I could just get in there I’d show them a thing or two”

1. Work Req: Safety Net Programs have Work Req’s
2. Reduce Govt Spending: Insured Preventative Care Saves Money
Taxpayers pay 60% of hospitals' uncompensated costs for uninsured

What if the deficit isn't sustainable?
There are "nice to haves' and there are "have tos".
With government bureaucratic bloat, some cuts should always be possible, without harming real value created.
If Bill Gates "entire net worth" could be perfectly liquidated and stolen: It'd run "just US federal gov" for < a week.
The "entirety" of Elon Musk's net worth (IRL largely stock) would run "just federal gov" for 21 days.
Taxing the rich hard would:
1. Nuke the country.
2. Do little.

"Trickle down" requires that you be contributing to systems that are creating value.
Chinese standards of living have gone up a lot, because they are doing more.

So it could drain resources from the entire planet!
But it was a temporary situation, and there's little useful that you can learn from that time.
Especially in times of uncertainty, or when you have no immediately better use for your money, you're better off paying down the mortgage.
WHAT ARE YALL THINKING??
YOU AND BERNIES ROAD TRIP BEEN OVER FOR A WHILE!!!
INFORM THE PEOPLE!!
DAMN!!!!!
Call talk to them, leave voicemails, call their local offices; let your Representatives & Senators know how you feel. Now is the time to be counted.🇺🇸
Damn, Dems. Do better.
Try it!
@aoc.bsky.social
Then go talk to them yourself.
Like a representative.
Our reps should be on all the channels and podcasts, debating these people every single hour of every day because we don’t necessarily have access to those platforms as citizens.
Not a single rep has lost sleep, but we continue to…
My own parents blocked me, I’ve been jobless and looking, for 5 fucking years. And everyone is SO afraid of having to live like I do—it’s insulting. It’s condescension wrapped in a Pride flag.
I’m telling her to do her job, only more so.
Like every manager you and I have ever had, during quarterly crunch time.
This is war, and I’m not fine with dying.
If I called right now, I’d be putting a target on my transgender back for harassment and retaliation. My past calls and emails to Newsom’s office were never returned.
I’ve been harassed by two people today, it’s not even 9 am. My normal.
We’re in a real Status Quoi? situation.
Impeachment? They did it twice (third one has been introduced), but he became President. Courts? They did for not being fit for office he even became a convicted felon on 34 counts in civil court, but he became President.
I overheard a man at a store today speaking about what the Republicans have done! Time to speak up!
