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 Trump Administration has rolled back almost EVERYTHING the Biden Administration has done, EXCEPT, there are STILL 4 FREE Covid tests per Household AVAILABLE. Get them while you can, before they get rid of them too! Please SHARE far & wide: special.usps.com/testkits

Government-wide censorship, freeze in funding, data compromise. Let's call this what it is: an authoritarian takeover. Nobody voted for this. They will take as much power as we give them. CALL your politicians now. Emails/letters are often ignored. www.senate.gov/senators/sen... 5calls.org

I'm ENRAGED RFK Jr. made it this far as a nominee & might be confirmed. As HHS Secretary he'll manage programs that my LIFE depends on as a disable patient with chronic illness who lives on a fixed income who is immunocompromised. There are MILLIONS more like me in our country. He is UNFIT to serve!

In the first day of his second presidency Trump has done nothing to make housing affordable, lower grocery prices, or cut prescription drug costs for seniors. Instead he's diminished the country's place in the world, pardoned people who violently assaulted police officers…

The Hegseth hearing is doing one thing incredibly well: it’s establishing that when his leadership at DoD fails, it’ll be clear that GOP Senators knew, excused it, and they own it. Serious concerns about experience & judgment are literally being laughed off.

Ages ago, one of my journalism mentors cautioned me about the astronomic level of propaganda in the field and suggested the following reminders as a way to ground against it: 1) Who, and what, is being emphasized? 2) Who, and what, is being ignored? 3) Who, and what, is considered expendable?
