If you’re a Dem elected and you’re not mentioning the massive cuts to cancer cure and social security funding in every public appearance you’re just not doing your job.

Cancer cures don't help capitalism.
Buy were not about that, are we?
If you are an elected Democrat and not talking about the capitalism involved 🙄 in keeping people/pets sick with cancer because that's what brings in the capitalist money 💰 WTF?!
America has been abandoned by their elected reps (both sides of the house?) and the mainstream media (if there is such a thing anymore) I want open & honest coverage. Not enough is being done to question Trump and his minions. Do you uphold your oath to the Constitution or is your loyalty to Trump?
And if you’re an elected republican to any government agency and are not speaking up, you are solely responsible for musk and his minions destroying the US government.
IF you are dem and not mentioning that there are three races coming up quick....special elections to replace the garbage in the cabinet.......and the dems could take back THE HOUSE......but no one is mentioning that EITHER!
"Have you lost someone in your family to cancer? It's the second leading cause of death and it is absolutely horrific. We must continue funding research to cure cancer so no one ever has to go through that again."
There’s this thing that happens online. We become aware of something in the morning and become outraged if there’s no action by noon, only to find Dems stated working on it two days ago and will have a response by tomorrow. It takes longer to figure out what to do than to yell, “do something.”
Republicans, and unelected hires by republicans, taking EVERYTHING from the workers, but yeah - find a way to make the democrats the problem, that’s the way to solve this…
They are waiting for results from the consultant’s polling to see how well the theme will resonate. Then and only then they will get the carefully crafted language they can use so as not to offend anyone on the extreme right wing of the Republican Party. Yup….people who will never vote for them.
I agree. Everyone should be responding to the stupidity of cuts for seniors, veterans, children and working poor. Where are they. Call legislators every day specifically Republicans who are not doing their job representing the working people instead of the wealthy.
If you’re a Republican elected and you’re ignoring people that are affected by these massive cuts to curing cancer, social security funding, education, Medicare and more you should be replaced from your job.
"Cruelty is all out of ignorance. If you knew what was in store for you, you wouldn't hurt anybody, because whatever you do comes back much more forceful than you send it out."
dems terrible at messaging vs nazi propaganda. they have fox, oan, news nations, most cnn, more of msnbc. dems need news alternative like bluesky is for twitter. i would pay for it. @kenmartin.bsky.social @democrats.org @hakeemjefferson.bsky.social @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com @mcuban.bsky.social
They should also mention that many of the Federal workers that were fired have children with cancer that need insurance. Christians and the right wing now peddle in Misery Porn. They love destroying people’s lives and watching it on Fox News
In the list of three cuts in @delauro.house.gov 's statement just now. Cancer research cuts are second after veterans, so some are listening. I'm calling her office this afternoon to thank her. https://bsky.app/profile/delauro.house.gov/post/3ljav7vcd422f
They’re doing exactly their job which is the “good cop” side of the swindle.
They have no intention of stopping this shit because they’re for it too.
There is no other explanation for Harris folding like a limp dick immediately then absolutely zero interest in investigating the dodgy votes.
They're politicians. Their 'job' is to strategize for power and influence. We can't put our hopes in the Democratic party, again, just to have them fail us, again. If we are waiting around for someone to save us, as people in a democratic society, we are not doing our jobs.
Dems must know they already failed at defending the constitution, or they’re giving up right now. If they don’t start now, there is zero chance of reform, it’ll have to be a complete rebuild when we eventually overthrow the dictatorship.
they failed in their jobs when they failed to stop all this. they gambled he wouldn't be a complete dickhead dictator on Day One. they lost. at least they coulda started a fight over certification. thanks so much for honoring "the process" on the way to Fascism.
I don't mean paper checks. It will have problems delivering them electronically. 7,000 employees are being cut. It will cause slow downs for how long it takes to process stuff.
I'm 78yo with several severe disabilities. Being on lower income of SSA &SSI I wasn't expecting much COLA this year but the notice was month+ later then usual & has a $55 Deduction with reason given as " because the Law says it can do so". No other explanation.
No that’s not what your notice said. It had a reason and applicable code cited, and instructions for appealing the determination. Having dealt with many T2’s most of them don’t open the letter or throw it away and then call months later with a nasty attitude instead of responding to the notice.
Geee I guess I just don't know how to read My mail that is vital to my staying housed, able to eat pay bills etc etc being an old disabled person with only 2 college degrees... I'm sure I must have done something I just didn't know about that caused me to be punished financially
No, it won't. Electronic payments are processed automatically. It's a good thing for the employees getting let go because working for SS is a dead end job with zero room to advance. The worst is working with T2's. They are the rudest most entitled people on earth.
It kills me that the party of Hollywood can't figure out how to sell itself or create coherent messages. Not even for lizard brain-level shit like "they're stealing money from your grandma" or "they'll gladly let your kid die of cancer" or "the air and water will be poisoned"
They don't want to sell themselves too well. Voters will expect Democrats to use their power for the good of the people and the liberal donor class won't permit it.
Waiting? To do what — make a speech? Meanwhile, there’s Bernie, Pete, AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Govs Pritzker and Moore and Walz. And you’re “waiting” on former presidents now private citizens. jhfc
Keep your eye on the prize! The blame lies w/MAGA, tRump & GOP! We have to stay united by supporting, not dividing here. Unless you are a troll. Send ideas/demands to our Dem leaders & elected officials. Don't spew at Dems here. Direct your anger to MAGA. That's who caused this! Trolls go away.
What are you out there doing? Revolutions start from the bottom up not the top down. That’s how the Tea Party came to power. Everyone complaining about Chuck and Hakeem should be making calls and showing up at town halls and taking to the streets
Republican leaders (Stump) did not start project 2015. Their “think tanks” did. Right wing “intellectuals” funded by big money. Nobody asked John Thune and Mike Johnson what they thought.
they think their jobs are to keep their jobs, but they're not sure how to do that, so they sit there with thumbs up bums while the people suffer and die
Trump and Musk fired lots of staff in that agency. There are now warnings that social security checks might be late.
Trump and Musk are also closing hundreds of social security offices nationwide. So Grandma will have to drive twice as far to get help at the nearest social security field office.
They won't do it. I call them the party of silence. The Democrat donors are as insidious as the GOP donors. Our legislative branch is donor owned and operated. The donors require silence. They benefit from Trumpism just like the others.
also if you're not ringing the fucking alarm bells about rfk jr cutting worldwide measles support and cancelling this year's flu vaccine as a sign this administration is literally trying to thin out humanity on a global scale
"If you're a firefighter and you point your hose anywhere but my favorite corner of the structure fire, i'm going to tell everyone i know what a bad firefighter you are"
(how you sound)
We are all flailing for which of the countless horrible things happening at once might get people to awaken.
Good thing that they have a strong history of capitalizing on every opportunity to land blows and call out BS, and not at all just sitting on their hands and doing as little as possible. They'll trot Schumer and Jeffries out there to read speeches off a teleprompter and that'll mostly be it
There is so much low-hanging fruit the dems could relentlessly hammer across all media, but they're not, or at least not at some kind of large scale. Why? This is so frustrating.
I would say the complacent pieces of shit rarely “do their job” if ever! And if the only job definition used is to uphold the Constitution they have ALL failed miserably.
Both sides appear to care only about how much money and power grab they can and hold on to!
Elect NO incumbents!
I disagree, the Democrat party has demonstrated that being the Anti-MAGA party does not win votes. People are upset with their government and want change, people like Bernie, for example, who preach change have proved popular with a wider range of people than old guard democrats
So… you’re just attacking “Dems”? Sure seems like you ought to point out every Republican voted in favor of this (with 1 hold out, only because he didn’t think it was extreme enough)…. Seems like you’re doing the radical right wings propaganda for them. Keep stoking division.
I was at a Democrats meeting in Florida. A local comity for County elections. They were completely out of touch.
They still think that they have a chance by voting Democrat!
I keep saying, sadly the democrats are too old and too passive. They should have screamed at Merrick Garland to the top of their lungs & called for his removal when he didn’t lock that Orange idiot up. Their apathy is why we are here. Go home if you can’t fight - we have a demon at the wheel
Cuts to cancer research and Social Security funding aren’t just budget decisions—they’re choices that will harm millions of Americans. Every elected Democrat should be sounding the alarm on this every single day. Staying silent isn’t an option when people’s lives and livelihoods are at stake.
If you’re a congressman from any district in the United States 🇺🇸 and you’re not looking out for the old people in your district you probably won’t be there long.
Writing articles of impeachment over and over and over and over and over and over again. Current POTUS Puppet Trump. 34 felony convicted FRAUD. Adjudicated RAPIST. INSURRECTIONIST. STOLE THE 2024 election. Lies lies lies, WAKE UP!
It's all a scam. Jeffries and Schumer may as well be Republicans. Two of the biggest cowards ever in public life. Chamberlain is watching them feeling like he had balls.
Trump is only doing 400 sh*t things a day. Try to remember who you should be mad at: the side that cancelled cancer research ad treatment- not the democrats.
Save social security! We can flip two U.S. House seats in Florida April 1. Help call Voters To Re-Enroll In Vote-By-Mail today. Call from anywhere in the U.S. until 9pm ET, 8pm CT, 7pm MT, 6pm PT. https://www.mobilize.us/gayforcongress/event/758405/
Why? All vote by mail expired in 2024 & voters must be re-enrolled.
This is a great idea. ALSO we don't NEED Rs OR Ds in order to hold Town Halls. Organize a town hall, invite the media and your reps, and when the reps no-show, give the media a story and plan your trip to their offices. Take the town halls TO THEM.
Every. Single. Dem. Leader needs to get LOUDER. Hold town halls in red districts, pump out support to the people. Call out misinformation. Saturate social media. Let the world hear your voices. Just like Jasmine, AOC, Raskin, Sanders, Warren et al. Quit hiding in a closet because of death threats.
I'm a Dem and have been. Voted that way every election. I'm thinking of changing to R simply to vote in state primary to help eradicate crazies. But I'm sick of Dems bringing plastic silverware to a gunfight.
Par for the course. What, you think they're gonna raise a stink? Have you seen todays Dems? They are the most squishy, cowardly spineless men on the planet for t he most part. AOC and Jasmine Crocket carry all the balls in the Democrat Party. Right #hakeemjeffries, #chuckshumer?
Is there a non-profit putting up messaging in Republican districts or a guerrilla activist group doing this for NIH cuts (cancer) and more? That I could donate to?
And also reminding everyone every single time there’s a hot mic in front of them that this presidency is unconstitutional under the 14th amendment article 3. That should be heard by everyone 100s of time each week.
Josh, we need a new party for Dem rank-and-file. One that recognizes, as Dems do, that giving Elon Musk a tax cut is bad reason to cut health care funding. But one that also fights back, and prizes delivering for their voters over comity.
They're entirely too silent about so much. Maybe I'm just not seeing it, but if the last month and eight days of cluster fuckery isn't enough to get them energized into action, likely nothing will.
Translation: If you're a democrat and you aren't talking about any and every last thing republicans have done to fuck people up? Then it isn't republican's fault for doing it. Somehow it's democrat's fault.
Yeah, it frustrates me that people have this thought process. At one point pundits were saying that Democrats complain too much. People need to vote in 2 years so that they can do their job.
It's up in the air if we will even get to vote. But yeah. When people don't like a person or group? Nothing they do can ever be seen as a good thing. Or a good move.
So you think that mentioning these things is what the Dems were elected to do. Let me up you one. How about they do something about it instead of trying to play quiet and safe. Mentioning it, really?

Buy were not about that, are we?
If you are an elected Democrat and not talking about the capitalism involved 🙄 in keeping people/pets sick with cancer because that's what brings in the capitalist money 💰 WTF?!
But to be fair, snagging choice restaurant tables, tickets to sold-out performances, and hot party invites is hard work yo

Defunding cancer research is heinous, there’s a long list of heinous things they’re doing
Repeat after every single question you're asked. Simple.
They have no intention of stopping this shit because they’re for it too.

Or did you forget about an easily preventable disease while obsessing about a disease with no real cure for like cancer?
hey. Pro Dems? stfu & DO SOMETHING.
The White House's response:
It's "support and DEFEND," Dems.

It is their job to.
well, you're also not doing your job
Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Team Trump are turning America into a corrupt and polluted dystopian shithole.
They see their positions as a license to commit a transactional rape of the whole world and its people for personal power and money.

and they are still keeping their jobs anyway
then perhaps they are doing their jobs, and we have misunderstood the purpose of their job
if their job is to enrich and protect themselves, they're doing fantastic
Both sides appear to care only about how much money and power grab they can and hold on to!
Elect NO incumbents!
Get a left wing empire like Fox and you’ll see them served up, not just doing their own thing for constituents. Who are you watching
They still think that they have a chance by voting Democrat!
