Donald Trump, Greg Murphy, and Elon Musk have us heading toward a dangerous economic cliff—because they don't care how much their policies hurt working families as long as they can keep delivering for themselves and their rich friends. #ncpol

Very telling that there’s better coverage of this meltdown in Ukrainian language media than in the US press, whose traditional leaders were barred from the room by the White House and whose other representatives are under the influence of cringing billionaires.

DOGE isn't here to serve anyone other than Elon Musk and Donald Trump. And it was never about "efficiency." Just like the doge meme, the lives of hard-working families are a joke to them. youtube.com/shorts/nHoGr...

Without NIH funding, we could lose crucial information and research. It is reprehensible that Republicans would rather fund their billionaire friends than research. NIH seeks to enhance life and to reduce illness and disability. As of yesterday, we entered the fatal measles outbreak stage.

Pharrell makes a lot of sense. He left it open to interpretation, so here’s mine: With Black Americans targeted by the US government & corporate America bowing to Trump at our expense, we must stand together—support our businesses, uplift each other, and do what’s needed to stay safe and at peace.

“Senator Thom Tillis told people that the FBI warned him about “credible death threats” when he was considering voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination for defense secretary. Tillis ultimately provided the crucial 50th vote to confirm the former Fox & Friends host to lead the Pentagon.”

So we begin to learn how he controls them: threatens violence. Mob mentality. The GOP are proud cowards. Smashing norm after norm, even those in his party have feared for their personal safety, & at least one has told confidants that it has swayed his decision-making. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Instead of investing in our communities, MAGA politicians are allowing billionaire Elon Musk to control government resources, steal private data, and cut the essential programs we rely on. Every leader must demand an end to this chaos and block the billionaires who want to control our futures.

House Republicans just passed a budget that would kick families off their health care, shut down nursing homes, and force kids to go hungry—all to pass more tax cuts for billionaires that will blow up our national debt.

Rep McCormick (Roswell—safe red) can’t gaslight his constituents—but they need to wake up. He won’t do a damn thing to stop Trump. A woman asks about Trump declaring himself “king” & what he will do to stop him. His smugness is off the charts. This is the guy who said hungry kids should get jobs.
