“The American military is so back tip of the spear warfighter lethality” Also “Lemme put on my makeup on my entire face first.”

This is classic right wing gaslighting. They do horrendous things and then complain about people being “uncivil” to them for it. And it works, for their base. They think the left are “intolerant” and “extreme” because the dead babies are far away and the American babies are on TV.

We are having to withdraw money from retirement savings to pay federal taxes. All our earnings and more went into taking care of our disabled adult son whose medical expenses did not all get covered by Medicaid. What did get covered, we are thankful for. Don't cut our Medicaid! Protect Medicaid!

If only they had the ability to vote in some legislative body. But Nay, they only can be “concerned” thehill.com/homenews/sen...

DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America. Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.

For Shane DiGiovanna, none of this is just a matter of effective government, or even democracy vs. oligarchy or autocracy. For him, the dismantling of the government could be a matter of life and death. New from @jimswift.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/the-miracu...

Holy shit!! Trump just slipped on live TV that he lost the 2020 presidential election. Trump would HATE it if this goes viral:

I’ve heard from a solid source that medical supplies from US to frontline medics in Ukraine are being withheld through USAID and military logistics. If true this is absolutely unacceptable.

I wrote section 230 to protect the little guys and the upstarts like Bluesky. Repealing section 230 only helps Meta, Musk, and Donald Trump.

@aoc.bsky.social: "You have a right to see your elected member of Congress... Our job is to hear from people. And if you aren't doing town halls because your own residents and members of your community are upset with what you're doing, the answer is you’ve got to own your decisions."

This ⬇️ Few people know 230 as well as Mike

@repjasmine.bsky.social: "It's not the trans people who made you lose your job... who started a tariff war with Mexico or Canada or China... who are taking away the Department of Education... it's also not the immigrants. And it's definitely not the Black folk."

If you're a billionaire, $10 eggs might be just a "little disturbance." For most Americans it's a real issue.

Dear Dems, Please stop shaking your cane. Sincerely, The 2000s

What's that saying that our professionals like to say? "This coulda been an email" This dumb ass dude and all his bootlickers in this chamber

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

CLAIM: Trump says he wants to “Make America Healthy Again."   TRUTH: Trump's budget slashes Medicaid, taking away health care from millions. He tried to freeze funding for cancer research. His Health & Human Services Secretary downplayed measles and pushed vaccine conspiracies.

I don't know who this guy is but he's absolute right.

If I were a Democratic (or Republican, or independent member of Congress), I would not attend Trump’s speech tonight. But disrupting seems foolish. Just don’t go. Let Democratic “leadership” attend, since for some reason they’ve decided they have to. But let leadership be there alone.

Chris Murphy: "Let's remember- congressional Republicans held up Ukraine aid for over 6 months, allowed for Russia to go on the offensive. So even before Donald Trump was president, congressional Republicans were not doing the things necessary to support the most vital fight in defense of democracy"

I’m the dairy farmer running in the special election to replace Elise Stefanik in New York’s 21st Congressional District. Can you repost this, give me a follow, and help spread the word?

I actually think the dems should attend the SOTU, wait till the 2nd sentence, and then walk out en masse, that'll do it, there'll be no address, he'll just have a meltdown on national Tv

DO IT

Maybe dem reps could hold their own state of the union on the Capitol steps. Steal the spotlight. Let members like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Max Frost, and the DNC make remarks. Norms don't exist. Buck them.

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

Remember when Lindsey Graham said, “there comes a time when you have to put country over party?“ Yesterday , Lindsey not only put cult over country, he put Russia over country. Utterly disgraceful.

All Trump had to do is say “we side with freedom and democracy and not with Putin,” and he couldn’t manage that.

Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

On behalf of many Americans, don’t thank us we THANK YOU Ukraine for your work.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

My son is on Medicaid. His disability is an extremely serious involving severe continuous pain, and often a motorized wheelchair (we bought). We parents are doing ALL we can to get him medical treatment, pouring our savings. Medicaid covers a small portion of his treatment. Don't cut our Medicaid!

Look at this leader. Lift her up.

Trump: "We're gonna be selling a gold card. You have a green card, this is a gold card. We're gonna put a price on that card of about $5 million and that's going to give you green card privileges, plus. It's gonna be a route to citizenship, and wealthy people will be coming into our country."

You know… Congress and the senate could always pass resolutions calling Russia the aggressor, supporting NATO and calling for a Ukraine victory. Just sayin…. Stop tweeting start forcing.

Republicans are voting today to cut healthcare for 72 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. Dems, don't give them even one vote.

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns. 100% of his salary is paid by WA state. Elon fired him. Share his story.
