A Trump supporter who was fired from the IRS, told NBC10 he didn’t see this coming from Trump: “I thought that someone with his business acumen would have come in with a fine-tooth comb and actually found it instead of coming in with a wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason"

Much Respect 🇺🇸 #SheShed

National Park Service rangers have pulled off a brilliant action in Yosemite Park on El Capitan by deploying a massive American flag upside down in the traditional sign of distress or extreme emergencies.

“If Democratic leaders won’t fight, then it’s hard to expect ordinary people to pick up the slack. Either democracy was on the ballot in November or it wasn’t, and if it was, it makes no political, ethical or strategic sense to act as if we live in normal times.” www.nytimes.com/2024/12/18/o...

The save Ukraine rally in Washington, DC today feels like a save America rally

US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they don’t give us 50% of their mineral rights. That’s not diplomacy, it’s extortion. We’re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war. Facts matter.

$200 million taxpayer dollars spent on “tell me I’m pretty” ads to stroke his own ego, while he fires people to “save money.” Sociopathic.

Infuriating! 😡 Don’t Cut My Medicaid! The majority of my son’s medical team are in Austin (1.5 hr drive), some in Houston (3 hrs), one in Dallas (5 hrs). Telehealth appts are needed & necessary! My son has extreme car anxiety, not to mention wear and tear on our car, gas! 🤬 And we’re not alone!

We just won a court order stopping DOGE and unauthorized, unelected, and unvetted individuals like Elon Musk from accessing people's private data and blocking federal funds. We will keep fighting to protect all Americans from this administration’s destruction.

Trump is such a jackass I love this Do it Australia 🇦🇺

The Panamanian government moved 100 migrants deported by the United States to a “primitive” detention camp on the outskirts of a jungle following an increase in media attention, the detainees said. Julie Turkewitz, Farnaz Fassihi, Hamed Aleaziz, and Annie Correal report for the New York Times.

😣This is why we "must" fight! The "Destroyer" is destroying our country! #Thisiswhywefight #Bluecrew #Resistance #Resist

Imagine disrespecting Dolly Parton like this Dolly sends out millions of books every year thru her Imagination Library program. Indiana Republicans want to end Dolly’s childhood literacy campaign by revoking their 50% matching funds. Dolly gives to those in need. Republicans give to billionaires

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

“The Trump administration has rescinded its decision to cut off legal aid for unaccompanied immigrant children, just three days after it ordered government-funded attorneys across the country to immediately stop their work.” Out of control idiots!

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

"...it’s a huge change in Air Canada’s transborder focus, and the strongest signal yet that Canadians are truly angry at how the U.S. government has been treating its neighbour to the north." openjaw.com/newsroom/air...

WATCH: “You just said something that’s not true — that tens of millions of dead people are on that list… but the same report you cited said almost none of them have received Social security.” Trump’s Press Sec hides behind saying they “suspect” it, then runs away 🤔

Like & Share if you stand with Ukraine. 🇺🇦

“I’m in West Virginia — My insulin went from $6 to $80”

Trump is blasted for lies about Ukraine and warned not to be ‘weak’ with Putin by France’s Macron

📌It’s about time ALL our retired military flag officers started showing some damn leadership by speaking out against this authoritarian attack on our nation. You know damn well that what is happening right now is WRONG.

Musk is attempting to extort Ukraine into accepting 47’s agreement over minerals. F’ck. Musk.

The updated count of measles cases in Texas now stands at 90, increased from 58 three days ago. Of these cases, 77 (86%) are children, 85 (94%) overall are unvaccinated, and 0 (0.0%) have been mentioned by RFK Jr. the Secretary of HHS. He’s far too busy casting aspersions on vaccines.

🚨 URGENT! 🚨 The White House is expected to issue an order today to dismantle the Postal Service. This cannot stand. Speaker Mike Johnson must take action NOW. 📞 Call 202 224-3121 and tell him HELL NO to dismantling the Postal Service. #FightLikeHell

Just so everybody is clear on Republican priorities: We put up an amendment to make sure nobody making over $500 million gets a tax cut. Republicans voted against it.

March 4th Protest 📣 @50501movement.bsky.social

The Republican war on health care is alive & well. By the time they're done, we won't be. Republicans have 1 goal: rip away coverage for millions to provide tax breaks for their billionaire friends. Call me crazy, but I'd rather invest in the American people. #DontCutMyMedicaid

Holy crap. At his town hall last night, Rep. Rich McCormick compared *his own constituents* who asked him tough and fair questions to January 6 insurrectionists
