Just be decent. The constant "FAFO" refrain may make you feel better but now it's just become a pathetic excuse to shit on people. Either we start fighting and taking back this country for everyone or spend our time saying "well...that's what X wanted." Move or get the fuck out of the way.

Just an FYI: Medicaid fraud is rarely perpetrated by beneficiaries. The fraudsters are almost always the doctors and CEO's that administer Medicaid. For example: when a doctor charges the government $600 for an $8 breast pump and pockets the cash and the third party administrator takes a cut.

Nazi fascist immigrant Musk admitted to shamelessly canceling Ebola prevention like he had canceled an Uber order and then to make it worse lied that it was a mistake and lied that he fixed it. This is the same piece of shit who calls millions of federal workers “incompetent.”

Happy Wednesday to everyone who agrees that Republicans who voted to cut Medicaid and SNAP benefits to give billionaires a fucking tax cut should be hounded about it DAILY until they're voted out of office, every last one of them. CAN I GET AN AMEN?🙏

Missed this at the time but here’s another example of a WH staffer calling Elon Musk the “head of DOGE” even though the government has claimed in court that Musk is neither an employee of DOGE nor the administrator of DOGE and that he doesn’t have the power to do anything other than advise Trump

This hits hard… “Then she was fired by a Fox News weekend host.” You know what else hits hard? The fact that voters thought it was a good idea to hire a reality show host/bankrupt businessman as President of the United States.

Just heard from a friend who is a true hero veteran. His company was destroyed in 30 days by the VA when they canceled 5 contracts without notice. 23 Americans mostly veterans out of work and a veteran owned small business destroyed. For nothing. They're dismantling the VA not "reforming" it.

I pointed it out recently but I want to note again that Musk and his racist pals consistently post photos of any women or nonwhite judges who rule against USDS, while ignoring the equally large or maybe greater number of decisions against USDS where the judge was a white man and/or Trump-appointed

The proposed Medicaid cuts are over 10 years, so about $90B per year, approximately 16% of the Medicaid budget (Medicaid/CHIPS was about $580B last year). The ACA Medicaid expansion is about 20% of the annual Medicaid budget. You can see where this is headed. www.kff.org/medicaid/iss....

Warren: Donald Trump ran for office saying he would cut costs for ordinary families. Remember his words on day one? Now we're in the second month and what we're watching is cuts for billionaires in their taxes, but paid for by driving up costs for middle class families

“You’re terminated because…?” Fired federal employees are telling their stories—no deep state, just career public servants tossed aside. DOGE’s mass firings aren’t about efficiency—they’re gutting expertise, wrecking lives, and calling it “reform.”
