It's EXACTLY the problem.

Dear Jeff Bezos, 🖕 Signed, People who value a free press

It will probably come as no surprise to anyone to hear it turns out Trump and DOGE haven’t actually saved any money newrepublic.com/post/192036/...

Embarrassing. No tax on tips will never be in this budget. Not happening. Promises made. Not kept.

Cutting $880 billion from Medicaid is going to have a lot of devastating consequences for a lot of people

This news truly breaks my heart. We are calling on HHS to take immediate action. Secretary Kennedy needs to bring back weekly measles tracking from the CDC, rehire the health experts, and roll out a serious vaccine campaign. Our kids' safety is on the line! abcnews.go.com/Health/1st-m...

Don’t let Donold’s AI Gaza video distract you from the fact they’re going to destroy Medicaid and kill millions in exchange for tax cuts for themselves.

Amazing how people think what’s happening is somehow just politics as usual & we should all therefore be polite & not take sides or offend anyone. Then again the people saying this have always been served by authority and are about to find out what it means for authority to flip the script on them.

Elon Musk and his 19-year-olds have now disrupted the approval of medical devices that save lives. Every member of Congress bears a responsibility to stop this right now.

It takes a special kind of villainy to see hungry kids and think, Nah, let’s make this worse. But the Anchorage Republican Women's Club (ARWC)? Oh, they’re up to the challenge.

First the poor, the disabled, then the elderly.

The US is talking about mass sterilisation – again A senior US government official has called for “lower quality humans” to be sterilised en masse – his country has been here before Absolutely terrifying yorkshirebylines.co.uk/news/world/t...

Request for Action: Elon Musk is seeking access to Fort Knox’s gold reserves. Congressional oversight is requested to ensure transparency during the audit, with bipartisan participation. Fort Knox gold reserves undergo annual audits.

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

"Mark my words: these elected officials will be responsive to their own voters. The answer, then, is to put pressure on these Republicans, because if they start to lose support from the very people responsible for electing them, that becomes existential for them in a way that Trump’s threats can’t."

But Trump promised to balance the budget…

They’re cutting Medicaid

He really struggles with the concept of a constitutional republic with judicial review.

Trump: "We're gonna be selling a gold card. You have a green card, this is a gold card. We're gonna put a price on that card of about $5 million and that's going to give you green card privileges, plus. It's gonna be a route to citizenship, and wealthy people will be coming into our country."

1400 more firings at Veterans Affairs: "Officials said specifically that Veterans Crisis Line responders were not affected by the dismissals. But workers within the department said that support staff for the crisis line were among the workers let go..." www.militarytimes.com/veterans/202...

BREAKING: House Republicans just passed their budget resolution 217-215 that would virtually guarantee deep cuts to Medicaid and food stamps, all to fund a major tax break for the ultrawealthy... and still add trillions to the national debt.

What she said.

$19,000,000,000,000.00

This is what a deal with the devil looks like👇 @housegop.bsky.social JUST VOTED TO CUT Medicaid, SNAP benefits, school meals, & housing assistance all in exchange for giving corporations & billionaires a tax cut all at the  expense of the middle class.

DOGE is inflating its savings claims. DOGE counts fully paid contracts as “savings.” Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service says it has saved $55 billion by cutting jobs, canceling contracts, and renegotiating leases. But a closer look suggests that number is misleading.

Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid. So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.

Mark Alford (R-MO): Elon Musk has contracts with the federal government, but he is also, I think, doing an effective job at weeding out the waste, abuse, and fraud in the government. Constituents: BOOO!!! SHOW ME!!! CONFLICT OF INTEREST!!! HE IS THE WASTE, FRAUD, AND ABUSE!!!

Dear Europe, Trump completely melts under pushback. So push back.

Never in our history has the US voted w/ Dictatorships at the expense of our Democratic allies—that is until today.  Trump has not only just ruined US credibility as a global leader, but set back the global fight for democratic values and peace.

Big Balls”? I’m shocked.
