House GOP does not care about you. They only care about messaging to save their billionaire tax cuts. They know Medicaid cuts are really bad, so they will sell it as cutting government waste until it is too late for you to speak up! #SaveOurMedicaid wapo.st/3HbKQpv

Many Vietnamese Americans voted for Trump to bring down costs for working families and stand up against communist countries like Vietnam. Giving billions of dollars to the brutal communist regime in Vietnam for his personal gain is a betrayal of those promises. abcnews.go.com/Business/wir...

Share this video & talk about ICE atrocities to everyone. What kind of monsters would take little ones' parents away & provide no assistance for the children left behind? Nazis did this during the Holocaust. Consider reading The Light of Days by Judy Batalion so you see how this parallels WWII.😭🤬😱

The Trump administration has settled on One Weird Trick to avoid judicial review: Kill nationwide injunctions, refuse to respect lower court rulings, and keep cases away from the Supreme Court indefinitely. Oddly, it was Kagan and BARRETT who hammered this yesterday. slate.com/news-and-pol...

This is Linda Martin. A few years ago, the FBI seized her life savings: $40,200. The kicker: She was never charged with a crime—and the government couldn’t tell her why it took her money. Martin is far from the first. But she is trying to make sure she is the last. A thread.

Some folks are getting confused by this scenario but the upshot is that vaccines are already approved on the basis of placebo-controlled trials, what RFK is trying to do is eliminate vax updates, which don’t require placebo controlled studies. So basically trying to kill annual flu/COVID updates.

In a normal business cycle downturn, government spending serves as the shock absorber. Mass layoffs leading to a more or less unrecoverable recession because the idiots in charge don’t understand how the economy works was my #1 fear. Hope we somehow avoid this.
