Good night, folks. Sleep as best you can. I'm still staring at the ceiling. I'm up and down all night anyway. Without my cat, I can't even fall asleep. And with the threats of cutting SS/Medicaid and SNAP, I find I'm trying to prepare for the worst. Does anyone else feel like this is mental abuse?

Write it down! Trump’s coming for your Medicaid. Social Security is next!

I'm thinking RICO?

Elon Musk is now trying to flip the balance of power on the top court in one of the country’s most important swing states. Read @ariberman.bsky.social on the very high stakes in Wisconsin and the Tesla founder's plot to buy the state supreme court.

A terrified Josh Hawley high-tailing it out of the Capitol will forever symbolize Congress in this moment.

I find it absolutely DISGUSTING that Elon Musk the richest man in the world has his DOGE people at this Social Security administration, trying to steal our private information & OUR money! Millions of us subsist, seniors, and people like me with disabilities, on fixed incomes. We ALL must speak out!

HANDS OFF OUR HEALTH CARE! Destroying Medicaid to cover billionaire tax breaks should NEVER be an option! youtube.com/shorts/0GdJ8...

Tell Congress: No cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security. None. Zero. Zilch. actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Social Security works because Americans work hard and earn benefits over their entire working lives. HANDS OFF, MUSK!

Amazing information on Social Security & its safeguards & self-audits. REAL INFORMATION, not made-up fake news. www.cbpp.org/blog/setting...

Donald Trump blanketed swing states in flyers pledging to protect Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Instead, he's empowered Elon Musk to slash them by $500 billion a year. Call your members of Congress and demand they protect our benefits: (202) 224-3121

Staffing shortages at the hospital on Navy Base Kitsap in Washington have forced officials to move over 700 patients off base for medical care.

A federal judge has blocked President Donald Trump’s far-reaching order banning diversity, equity, and inclusion, or DEI, programs in the government, reported The Associated Press on Friday.

Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

How many tenors does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Trick Question. They only think they can reach that high.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.
