NEW: I talked to Congresswoman Kim Schrier (D-Wash.), who is a pediatrician, about the measles outbreak in Texas, the unvaccinated child who died and now-HHS Secretary RFK Jr. downplaying the whole situation, calling it "not unusual." She tore him apart. www.huffpost.com/entry/kim-sc...

I’ve always followed the dictum that politics should not interfere with relationships with friends and family. But my Dad fought in the Second World War and I’ve spent my entire life teaching about the virtues of self government. Preserving the republic means more to me than prolonging friendships

I think Americans have to understand things won't go back to normal and no one is coming to save us. The self destructive decision to vote for Trump is going to cause long term pain, damage and weakness. We have to survive and try to rebuild something better. Generational effort sadly.

The same week that Elon Musk baselessly called Social Security a "Ponzi scheme," his co-president Donald Trump announced that he wants to create a national crypto reserve. This could result in taxpayer dollars being used to prop up an actual Ponzi scheme. Hello?

Note that not only are they stopping payment to farmers in Kansas (and across the farm belt) for work already completed. They're doing the same to USAID contractors abroad, cutting off payment for work already done. So many of those aid orgs have already gone under. US farmers next.

Federal workers make essential government services like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the VA, and so much more - work for working people. They’re members of our communities, neighbors, friends, or even family. We appreciate their hard work for our country ✊

One thing I'd like to add here is that Social Security HAS to make its payments; it's why it gets classified as "mandatory spending" in the budget process. Missing payments would be literally illegal, although given the staggering illegality of everything else this regime is doing, it'd fit right in

Social Security is OUR money, an EARNED benefit! Not only is it OUR money but we also PAID to have customer service. This is where our money went to. Social Security staff was already at a 50 low when the Trump administration took over & NOW they want to cut 50% of staff. HELL NO! NOT ACCEPTABLE.😡🤬

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

Dear #MAGA when they cut your Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, and SNAP, when they take away your overtime & unemployment benefits & cut your wages, when your food is no longer safe to eat, know that we liberals/Dems weren't fighting against you, we were fighting for you.
