So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

One thing has been clear for months: Medicaid is, by design, the main target of the House GOP’s federal spending cuts proposal. According to the article, MAGA supporters will suffer. The leopards are eating their own faces. So… when do Americans come first? www.huffpost.com/entry/medica...

I am very politically active and write/call my congressman often. I have lived in his district for almost 2 decades. I have never seen him in person and it’s not for a lack of trying. No town halls. No visiting his district. I’ve never seen hide nor hair of Sam Graves.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.

Firing 7000 IRS agents will make it even easier for the rich to get away with skirting what they owe. But it's also a gift to the multi-billion dollar tax prep industry. Fewer IRS agents to help you file your taxes means more money in the pockets of companies like TurboTax.

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

As the father of a boy who struggles with depression & a former Boy Scout leader, I can speak with some authority on this… Taking kids off their meds & sending them to camps is the worst idea anyone in the Felon47 administration has come up with. FAFO. I’m not fixing it this time. #DemVoice1

Remember that Donald Trump's playbook is to float an idea repeatedly to normalize it before pursuing it seriously. Republicans in the House and Senate are beyond pathetic for throwing democracy, the Constitution, liberty, justice, and this country under the bus for a wannabe dictator.

In blatant disregard for our local economy, Republicans are firing essential workers at parks that were already short-staffed. Our community thrives on tourism dollars. Wages are already tight in this housing market. This is directly hurting families. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

As a IT professional I know how much power root access can have on computer systems. You can, add, edit and delete any file directory. One simple command “rm * -r” removes everything when you have root (god) access. You can give root privileges to anyone. Apps And Dbs are open to anything

Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.

The GOP's destruction of our government has set the stage for DEMOCRATS' triumphant return in 2028! When we take back power, we'll rise from the ashes & build a NEW gov't that serves ALL Americans, not just the privileged few! We'll create agencies that uplift, empower & protect - not oppress.

Let me help those who just get mad and post. It will take years and possibly decades to build infrastructure anywhere in Ukraine to be able to mine these minerals. Then, the biggest refiner is China. It will take a decade for the first $ If Zelensky gets what he wants, who benefits the most ?
