How many poor people will die when Medicaid is no longer available? How many elders and disabled will die when Medicare and Social Security are cut? Who will care for the thousands in nursing homes that will be thrown into the streets?

My mom helped run a Social Security field office for most of my childhood. The population that these locations serve is overwhelmingly disabled, elderly, poor or some combination thereof. That’s who they’re looking to deny services and resources.

Chris Murphy: "This deal that Donald Trump just cut with the mayor of New York -- it's a big deal ... they did that out in the open on TV because it's a signal to everybody else out there that the law will be applied differently to you if you are loyal to the president."

Better not call it a “vaccine” or it might not get approved. Maybe market it as a recreational drug.

Medicaid is a lifeline for families like mine. Cutting it would take away critical services that children with disabilities rely on every day. We need more support, not less. Don’t Cut My Medicaid!!! #MomSky

Measles has entered my community. I blame MAGAS. They are infecting our children with diseases that should have been eradicated. This is NOT pro life.

Trump is politicizing the military to use it against his political enemies. Our military should be loyal to America and they were our strongest safeguard during Trump’s first presidency. Look at how many generals he wants to prosecute from his first administration!

Maybe it's wrong to confuse the USA with current management. He doesn't represent us, or care about us. He's in the process of destroying us. He's obviously not us. The orange one and the USA are not one in the same. Just because there is a flea on your dog doesn't make the flea a dog.
