Great article about Governor Hochul! www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/n...

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

This is plain and open theft of the American people. They’re not even trying to hide it anymore. www.npr.org/2025/02/13/g...

There have been 87 aviation incidents since the start of the year — 4 of them fatal. Instead of working to prevent tragedies, Trump fired hundreds of FAA staff who are responsible for keeping our skies safe. He's compromising our safety to pay for billionaire tax cuts. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Yesterday, Trump promised he wouldn't touch Medicaid. Today, he endorsed the House Republican plan to slash Medicaid. Republicans will say anything in their plot to take money from you and give it to their billionaire donors. It's all lies and broken promises. www.yahoo.com/news/trump-s...

Defunding our schools. Kicking seniors out of nursing homes. Slashing children's health care. Firing veteran crisis hotline workers. Ending cancer research.
  Republicans aren't helping you. They are hurting you.
  All to support their donors.

In times of crisis, Americans look to the President to lead and ensure safety. Instead, Trump chooses to: Blame victims. Blame firefighters. Blame soldiers while their bodies are still being retrieved. Cut disaster aid and air safety workers. What a betrayal.

Trump's first month has brought us: mass funding and hiring freezes, mass firings of federal employees, and hourly chaos. This is not an exaggeration: these policy choices put us all in danger. One example hits close to home. Literally:

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

CORRUPTION: Musk is abusing his position to block investigations into his own corporations⬇️

House Republicans unveiled their budget plan this week. Here's the summary. Step 1: Take billions from health care and kids' food. Step 2: Give the money in tax cuts to the rich. Step 3: Profit.

New reporting shows corporations are funneling $$ DIRECTLY to paying off Trump and his family. $40 million from Amazon $10 million from Elon Musk's X Then, Trump cuts their taxes. Trump's family gets rich. Your family gets screwed. Corruption, plain and simple.

🚨 Republicans are set to propose billions in Medicaid cuts next week. Here’s who would be hurt in TX: ❗36.2% of children ❗48% of new moms & babies ❗25.9% of adults w/disabilities ❗61% in nursing homes ❗15% of Medicare beneficiaries I’m fighting to protect their care. #SaveMedicaid #TX32

Instead of focusing on America’s national security, this man is treating America like a reality show. Firing QUALIFIED military leaders! Playing with our national security! This isn’t a game. crockett.house.gov/media/press-...

My latest op-ed in the Washington Post www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Democrats must make clear that, of course, we believe in changing government for the better - and show how different that is from Trump's destruction of government's capacity to protect workers, consumers, and families.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.
