Today, I called all my state representatives . I'm tired and stressed for tonight 😵‍💫 Monday, I will be calling my state senators . Healthcare, they are coming after it and we must fight for it. #DontCutMyMedicaid

Here is the planning of a protest. This is one way it is done. @qm-b.bsky.social @drharmony.bsky.social @pittsburghlady.bsky.social

House Republicans who were willing to hold town halls back home this week got an earful. At events from Georgia and Wisconsin to Oklahoma and Oregon, many of them faced hostile crowds furious about the sweeping budget cuts & mass firings of federal workers that Trump and Musk’s DOGE is carrying out.

😃 Major grocery retailers in Sonoma, Napa and Mendocino County still supporting Diversity, Equity and Inclusion efforts: ---Albertson's - owner of Safeway ---Costco ---Grocery Outlet ---Raley's - owner of Raley's, Nob Hill and Bel Air ---Sprouts 1/3

Savings from cutting thous of jobs is just a drop in the bucket towards debt. Not only are these savings minute but it actually will COST more than it saves. Ppl that lose health ins will go to ER's, preg women will have sicker babies, kids malnutrition and these cuts lead to higher unemployment

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

Who else is tired of the welfare king raking in $20 billion in government cash, adding $136 billion to his fortune since election, while slashing benefits for those who need them most, all for a bigger tax break?

Message to 🍊Felon and Putin, 🇺🇦Strong

This is presidential

So the economy is not getting better and the stock market is experiencing a downturn and Elon has eliminated over 200,000 jobs. Is this really what the MAGA voted for? If it is they need to get some brain health supplements. REPOST

Don't hold back now.

REMEMBER: Next Friday, February 28. NOT 1 PENNY SPENT. We can do this. I'm IN, are you? 👋💙

We should ALL be making a point to do Google News searches and scanning local news sites EVERY DAY for local headlines featuring local impacts of Elon Musk and Trump's actions. Share those articles and videos on social media for your local friends and neighbors to see. That's how we chip away.

Over on X, simple tweets by my colleague Greg Bluestein of the Atlanta Journal Constitution have been blocked. They were nothing but video of a town hall held by Rep. Rich McCormick R-GA where he was asked questions about DOGE

To the point #Maddow was making, one way we can subtly make a difference every single day to help bring down Trump's approval even further: Keep sharing *local* news articles/videos highlighting the *local* consequences of Elon and Trump with your friends and neighbors. They can have a big impact!

freedom.press/issues/journ... This is SO important in my view -

When Trump/Musk are done gutting the Govt of 100,000K's of jobs and Trump's made himself a King what will the American ppl have earned? The savings from cutting salaries, Medicare and Medicaid will be minimal compared to the negative impact it will have on society.

Trump is going to buy everyone with a fake "rebate" of $5K. Trump/Musk are going to send everyone 5K saying that's how much they found in waste and corruption so you don't question them on the 4.5T tax cut (for the wealthy and Corp) that's going to add 3-5T to the deficit.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!
