STAND UP TO MUSK Despite Trump’s campaign promises, Musk is coming after your earned Social Security benefits. Demand that every member of Congress stand up to Musk’s cynical efforts to steal our earned Social Security benefits while giving himself and other billionaires a hefty tax cut.

They continue to tell this debunked lie 🤥 for a reason: so when they cut social security to pave the way for their tax cuts for the rich you think they had an actual reason to do it.

It is mind-boggling to me that people say "but I had to comply with the fascists because otherwise there would be some cost—" NO FUCKING KIDDING. Did you think you'd never have to make a hard choice in Fascist America? That you wouldn't be asked to sacrifice someone and be rewarded for it?? JFC

Know why the US is $36 trillion in debt? Because the Republicans give rich people and corporations tax cuts, and we, the middle and lower class, foot the bill. Rob the poor to give to the rich. #VoteBlue2025 #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue

This is a good moment to thank the federalism gods. States choose their election technology, not the federal government. In blue states the read out will be GTFO Elon. And given how toxic he’s getting probably in a lot of red states too.

Here’s some more evidence.

YES! We have an amicus appointed by the judge in the case to dismiss the charges against Eric Adams. Basically, if neither party opposes, the court appoints someone to fight the other side. They did this in the Flynn case as well.
