We are not going to be silenced, and we are not going to allow Elon Musk and Donald Trump to attack Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security without strong opposition from Democrats in Congress.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

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

The DoD has never passed an audit and no doubt its spending should be reviewed. But Sec Hegseth knows little about how DoD works, and less about national security. It would be a good idea to bring in some expertise rather than just throwing the axes.  www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

God help me, I live in her district.

General Charles Q. Brown Jr., Faithfully and Honorably served the Constitution and The People of the US for 41-years in the USAF. His last posting was as the 21st Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was unjustly fired by the dangerously unqualified SECDEF. I proudly stand with Gen. Brown.

“Trump’s Sad Honeymoon Is Over” Sayeth Gallup Poll Via Rick Wilson: We have been deluged with so many intense emotions and images the past six months that we are a nation, two nations in fact, living in unreality. The MAGA Republicans are stewing in a melange which ranges from giddy triumph to…

Elon Musk just had the Community Note removed from the clip of his interview with Trump that went viral on X. The note pointed out that Musk lied about having to rescue astronauts because Biden supposedly abandoned them.

VP Vance continues to show his patriarchal hubris at CPAC, talking about women only in the role of baby-makers and bemoaning that men aren't allowed to have a beer and tell jokes. (cartoon from the archives)

sure, mitch mcconnell cynically masterminded the plot to destroy the US constitution and american democracy, but you have to at least credit him with lifting up his own constituents in Kentucky to make it one of our richest and most prosperous... (touching earpiece) wait I'm getting new information

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

As we used to say in The Bronx: "Fuck this shit" "The Trump-Vance-Musk-Putin plan Making the world safe for oligarchy" "We don’t have kings in America & I won’t bend the knee to one"-Gov. Pritzker I stand with Gov. Pritzker open.substack.com/pub/robertre... #ResistanceUnited #WeWillNotComply

During Gov. J.B. Pritzker's annual budget address, the governor compared the Trump administration's approach to Nazi Germany. “We don’t have kings in America, and I don’t intend to bend the knee to one,” Pritzker said. to.wttw.com/430g2kE

Spineless, yellow-bellied, lily-livered, weak-kneed, pusillanimous chickenshits.

It’s not a coincidence—it’s a warning.

This is the most cowardly administration in history.

“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!”

MAGA is next

A clearly shocked CNN anchor tried to calm Stephen Miller down as he yelled at her.

Stephen Miller brought big Karen energy to this interview. He did everything but ask to talk to Keilar's manager.

Elon Musk thinks we should all be in jail for protesting. Just wait till we get organized! America's biggest "Welfare Queen" will really be shitting his pants. #resist #5050movement #protests #fiftyfiftyone #elon #trump #musk

Ethics actually matters.

Go ahead. Let the people see you for what you are.

They’re doing project 2025, just like we said they would

After going quiet on bird flu, CDC scientists have published a report on its spread among veterinarians. The findings suggest a need for better surveillance.

Legacy media is sleepwalking us into fascism.

I’m sure “DOGE” will be all over this.. truthout.org/articles/tes...

I love this. This should be the symbol of the new rebel coalition.

My mother in law has dementia. Nursing care for dementia isn’t covered until all her money is gone and only then does Medicaid kicks in. Now they want to take that away. Fine, let her 3 kids who voted for Trump pay the 15k a month for the nursing home. Lessons need to be learned.

So money already appropriated and granted for SNAP, Medicaid, Medicare and Head Start can be cancelled, but not the $137k for new drapes and things for Pete Hegseth’s government-provided house. www.forbes.com/sites/antoni...

Donald Trump is trying to block trillions of dollars in federal funds to Meals on Wheels, Medicaid, and other critical programs that keep us safe and healthy. If allowed to go into effect, this would wreak havoc across the country. Tell Congress: Trump cannot be allowed to defund our communities.

Senator Murphy lays out exactly what is on the line. "  There was a promise made to finance this tax cut with two trillion dollars of cuts to Medicaid and Medicare. Medicaid, poor kids, poor families, Medicare, seniors in this country." Hands Off Our Medicaid!
