Agree. Same happened to me. My husband died on Dec. 20. I had to pay back the month of December. They are lying about fraud.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

Another distracting performance piece for the sheep.

Spineless. All ten Republicans sold out Pennsylvanians to fund Trump’s billionaire bailouts. Let them know that Pennsylvanians deserve #CareNotCuts!

Disgusting

This 👇

Colorado's Rep Brittany Pettersen (D) flew cross-country with her one-month-old to vote against the GOP budget tonight. Dems ended up one vote short. Pettersen was part of an unsuccessful bipartisan push to allow new mothers to vote remotely. #copolitics

What a shocker. Farmers being screwed over by their king and his minions. Who could have predicted that? 🤔

Five things I did last week. 1.Read Democracy in Retrograde. 2.Wrote postcards for the WI Supreme Court special election. I live in PA. 3.Explained what DEI stands for and how it impacts us to several retiree friends. 4.Emailed my congressman & Senators twice. 5.Attended a petition signing event.

It’s never too cold to knock on doors for @crawfordforwi.bsky.social. We’re showing up everywhere to win these spring special elections. If you want to sign up to volunteer and help us keep the state Supreme Court out of Elon Musk’s hands, head to win.dnc.org/WI.

During WW2, four brothers from a Jewish family signed up to fight against the Nazis. Only one of the four brothers survived. His grandson is the current President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky.

The hypocrisy of the GOP knows no bounds 👇

I sure hope that after they finish making Trump’s birthday a national holiday and getting his face on Mount Rushmore that they do some of the trivial things like helping their constituents. I can always dream.

I sent a letter to my PA Senator, David McCormick about Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. I received a response telling me how careful he is being about voting for the cabinet members. His form letter didn’t even address the correct issue.

NEW: Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) sues the Trump administration to unfreeze over $3 billion in federal funding for his state. Shapiro says that despite two judges' orders to release the funds, the federal government has withheld the money.

I’m happy that the courts are saying that this administration can not do the things they are doing but Trump, Vance and Musk have all basically said they don’t care. Trump is never held accountable for anything so why should we believe this is going to be any different?

I am proud of all the people who DIDN'T understand Kendrick's performance taking the time to LEARN more about the cultural impact & significance. We see you. We thank you. We appreciate you.

Thank you!

Absolutely!

Democrats need to learn how to treat real scandals with the same intensity and seriousness that Republicans use on bullshit like Hillary's emails and Hunter's laptop. Non-stop circus. Run shifts outside treasury, someone there 24/7. Make them prove they're not breaking the law.

President Musk taking over our country’s computer systems while his jester distracts us. Is it too early to say told you so?

Missed opportunity

👍🏻👏

True!

I’m so sorry.😢 We are supposed to learn from history.

In 2024, for the first time, Florida Dems fielded candidates for every single legislative office thanks to my friend @nikkifried.bsky.social's leadership—I’m proud to have her support and look forward to our continued partnership at the DNC!

He is a mob boss. He is holding America hostage as he threatens and punishes so that the House and Senate members will fall in line and do what he says. “Look what I can do to your constituents if you don’t obey me.”

YES PLEEZE👊👍🤚✋👏

Donald Trump has promised retribution. When you hear that a Trump foe is under investigation, be skeptical. When you read about anonymous leaks against pro-democracy leaders, consider that it may be part of an effort to discredit their work. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...
