Elon Musk is not finding “waste and abuse”. He is simply slashing regulations and firing regulators that keep you safe, just so he can add a few more zeros to his bank account.

LISTEN to Maxwell Frost: "We know that this country doesn't have a healthcare program. It has a sickness care program." Every Republican needs to be asked every damn day, what is their plan if they cut Medicaid? They want to burn down the house, w/ millions left inside it! #SaveMedicaid

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Commissioners Bedoya and Slaughter worked tirelessly to hold billionaires and massive corporations accountable, so it's no surprise they've been targeted by Trump and Musk. This is yet another gift from Trump to the rich and powerful that profit off of ripping off consumers.

If Republicans cut $880 billion from Medicaid: - Millions of children will lose their health care. - Funding for community health centers will dry up. - Your mom and dad may not be able to get the nursing home care they need. That's what happens when Musk runs the government.

This isn't a "crackdown on DEI". This is white men getting pissy about the fact that POC and women are capable of doing just as much, if not more, as they can. It's blatant racism and sexism, and quite frankly, it is vile.

Beshear: When I vetoed the nastiest anti-LGBTQ+ bill during my election year, I explained why I did it. My faith teaches me that all children are children of God. I wanted those children, who were being hated on, to know their governor cares for them… my faith tells me that’s my job

Beshear: Bullying is always wrong, and standing up for people is always right. This isn’t an either-or. As a Democrat, stand up for what you believe in. We’ve got to show people that you can stand up for your principles while being there for every working family.

Trump is defying court orders and abusing wartime powers to deport people with no due process. He's using the law that put Italian, German, and Japanese immigrants in detention camps during World War II. We are not at war. Donald Trump is not a king. He is not above the law.
