AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

Trump circumvented Congress on tariffs by declaring a Fentanyl emergency. A handful of Republicans in Congress can stop the tariffs by joining with Democrats. Call your electeds and tell them.

Elon Musk called Social Security a “Ponzi Scheme.” To be clear: the Muskrat & Trump want to make it harder for you to get what you paid into. 72 MILLION Americans are about to feel this. Social Security is under attack. Medicare and Medicaid are next in line…

This is an excellent summary of the devastating changes to Social Security due to go into effect on March 31. Without a vote! Are you elderly? Disabled? Have elderly or disabled loved ones? Please please absorb the points Olivia is making here & put pressure on your elected representatives.

Prediction: this will end very badly. Trump is the worst dealmaker and resorts to insults and threats when his plans fail. He and Hegseth are keen to start a war, to expand his war power. Iran will be next then a hostile takeover of Greenland. Shitting on all our allies. news.sky.com/story/no-one...

Donald Trump to Robert Morris, who was just indicted on child sex crimes, in 2020: "So I want to thank Pastors Robert Morris...They’re great people. Great people with a great reputation. I have to say that. Great reputation. And Gateway Church — the team has been incredible in hosting us." Vile

Asinine. Absolutely freaking asinine. How can so many people have been stupid enough to believe he'd lower prices?! Honestly, it's just embarrassing. It's no wonder we're a laughing stock worldwide now!

Modern-Day Peaceful Protest… TikTokers are hunting Cybertrucks—pulling up behind them and projecting anti-Elon Musk messages onto the tailgate. What’s genius: the driver has zero rear visibility & zero idea. The Cybertruck Hunters account launched a week ago and already dropped a dozen videos.

First the Super Bowl. Now the Daytona 500. He's not a real president -- he just plays one on TV. And it's costing the American people TENS OF MILLIONS in extra, unnecessary, wasteful spending. Maybe THAT is what "DOGE" should be cutting?

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

The best messaging is to state what everyone knows to be the truth in the simplest and clearest way possible. So it’s hard to imagine more effective messaging than this.

Senator Raphael Warnock on RFK Jr.: "It's no overstatement for me to say that, it's hard for me to imagine a nominee less qualified that would actually be presented." Exactly!

Musk isn’t making government smaller. He’s shutting down the parts of the government that have been investigating his companies for safety violations and ties to Russia.

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

"Vance had a chance to defend his OWN family, and he opted to defend the Indian-hating bigot instead. Where are the balls on these Republican men? ... Elon wants his DOGE kid who hates Indians back and Vance does his bidding... Do they castrate these guys at the door of the RNC?"

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

A group of uncleared, unvetted, civilians have gained access to all of my federal records including military personnel, retirement and disability. They are reportedly feeding them into AI. I want them arrested and charged with federal crimes. Right fucking now! How is this even a discussion?

Senator Van Hollen: "While those emergency responders were working to recover the bodies of those we lost, President Trump was at the White House spewing baseless conspiracy theories and engaging in gross finger pointing and politics. President Trump owes those families and the country an apology."
