DON'T CUT MY MEDICAID $880 BILLION IS WHAT THE tRump budget wants To CUT MEDICAID That's Children Families Seniors Call Your Congressional Representatives 202 224-3121

This is what Town Hall’s should look like all over the country right now.. Apply continuous, aggressive pressure and make it clear we will not comply, we will not sit by, and if our representatives don’t act, we’ll find people that will and they can hit the bricks! www.youtube.com/live/-CLe_uX...

go.bsky.app/2kd88F8 Thank you @donshifs.bsky.social

This is how you do it. Other news agencies like Axios and CBS, stop rolling over! Grow a spine, stand up straight and fight!

You don't fire Judge Advocates General unless you plan on issuing unlawful orders. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-f...

This is what happens when people have disregarded science and chosen to forgo life-saving vaccinations - RFK,Jr is going to be held accountable along with the GOP who voted for him! #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

For those at the back…

I just signed a petition demanding the Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry Ban X/Twitter in Canada. Join me in signing here: you.leadnow.ca/petitions/ba... you.leadnow.ca/petitions/ba...

I will always stand up for Virginia's workforce and economy — including the tens of thousands of civil servants and contractors that call the Seventh District home. I was glad to speak with many of these Virginians at the Caroline County NAACP Black History Month celebration.

Yesterday, I visited First Line Technology in Fredericksburg. I was glad to learn more about their important work developing innovative emergency response, preparedness, and decontamination equipment — including technology used by the U.S. Capitol Police!

Budgets are statements of priorities, and Republicans have made theirs clear: unlimited funds for corruption and political games, but zero accountability. If they refuse to answer to Congress, why should we help them fund their shady operations? No oversight, no deal on March 14.

Programs like VCU’s RTR give future teachers hands-on experience, strengthen local schools, and inspire mentors.  Nearly 400 educators have come through RTR — but thanks to Trump’s latest cuts, its funding is on the chopping block. This is unacceptable.

Today, I called on the Administration to reverse its staffing cuts impacting the National Park Service.   Our NPS workforce helps maintain public safety and protect treasured natural resources across Virginia. I will stand against all attempts to undermine this important work.

🚨 My colleagues and I were just denied entry to USAID HQ on the orders of President Trump and Elon Musk. Shutting down USAID is unlawful, inhumane, and a gift to adversaries like Russia and China. I will not stop fighting to protect American national security interests.

Some things to know about General Brown: - 41 years of military service - F16 fighter pilot and instructor with 3000 flight hours, 130 in combat - Master’s in aeronautical science - son of a U.S. Army colonel and Vietnam veteran - grandson of a WW2 veteran

BBC News, "Trump has carried our a purge of officials at the Pentagon" "Including the highest ranking military officer, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Charles Q. Brown" "Also out is Admiral Lisa Franchetti, the first woman to lead the US Navy" A black general and woman admiral

Pentagon to fire up to 61,000 workers, starting with 5,400 next week #pentagon #purge

Seizing control of the Pentagon is how a dictator prepares to use the army against their own people. Trump dismissed Air Force General C.Q. Brown, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, along with five other senior military officials, in an unprecedented overhaul of U.S. military leadership. 👇

I proudly stand with General Brown!

The Pentagon said on Friday that it would fire 5,400 civilian probationary workers starting next week, in the first of what officials say will likely be a wave of much larger layoffs at the Defense Department, the government’s biggest agency.

It's not about Brown, or Caine, or other individuals. It's not about reforming DOD . What it's about, at DOD and DOJ and the FBI and the intelligence community, is breaking all institutional resistance to Trump, and ensuring as much as is possible personal fealty to Trump.

Trump’s Pentagon purge has included the top military lawyers. Nobody should be surprised. Dictators politicize the military. Trump wants those with the biggest guns loyal to him, not the Constitution He says he’s demilitarizing it. I call BS. Orwellian to the core. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Proclaiming his administration as "federal law," the president demanded that Maine comply with his executive order banning transgender women from participating in women and girls' sports. www.mainepublic.org/politics/202...

In an emailed statement, Maine Attorney General Aaron Frey said that since it’s founding, the CFPB “has played a vital role in overseeing large banks, lenders, credit card companies, and mortgage servicers — companies that virtually every Mainer interacts with on a regular basis."

In a statement shared early Friday, Gov. Janet Mills said “the State of Maine will not be intimidated by the president’s threats.”

Governor Mills response to tRump’s bullying

"If the President attempts to unilaterally deprive Maine school children of the benefit of Federal funding, my Administration and the Attorney General will take all appropriate and necessary legal action to restore that funding and the academic opportunity it provides."

🔥 Governor Janet Mills just bench-pressed Trump’s bullying and walked out without breaking a sweat. 🔥 At the White House, Trump tried his usual mob boss routine—demanding obedience, dangling federal funds, and threatening political careers. But Mills? She didn’t flinch. She didn’t fumble. 1/1

How to respond to a bully. Thank you, Governor Mills.

Eyyyy some actual good news (gov of Maine politely tells Trump to get fucked)

youtu.be/_cDWv6oMDgg?... trump threatens her...he is such a bully! Stand up against bullies! Go Maine! Much respect to her!

"See you in court." - Gov. Mills

Trump employs mob tactics once again and threatens Maine governor with defunding for not breaking the law and complying with his illegal executive order banning Trans people from sports but she stands her ground. He hates when women stand up to him. Weak little man child.

REPOST if you stand with Maine Governor Janet Mills against Donald Trump!

“Shortly after Friday’s exchange, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) announced that it launched a Title IX violation investigation into Maine’s Department of Education and one of its school districts.”

The most notable thing about this clip from the president's address to the governors is the way Maine Gov. Janet Mills stood up to Trump. And the second most notable thing is the absolute stone-faced silence from the other governors in the room. www.c-span.org/clip/white-h...

The Democratic Governor of Maine, Janet Trafton Mills, had a sudden and intense confrontation with President Trump during a governors’ meeting. The clash took everyone by surprise and nearly escalated into a heated verbal exchange right in front of the cameras.

Miami's Enrique Tarrio was arrested outside the U.S. Capitol today and charged with assaulting a female protester. Another Trump supporter who was freed and is already back to committing crimes against Americans. via www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

Umm what?

FBI cancels community outreach programs for seniors

Dear God.

Does he even know what the House GOP Budget Committee did to Medicaid last week?

How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes? Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce. Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.

Gallup just registered Trump's worst economic approval rating on record, at -12 (42% approve/54% disapprove). Throughout Trump's first term it was a relative strength for him, and previously his lowest economic rating with Gallup was -8 in June 2017.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.
