People across Washington State will see the effects of the Trump admin’s attacks on federal workers and funding in their daily lives. National parks will have to close. Social Security checks will arrive late. Cancer research will be slowed. It’s devastating for EVERYONE.

When the U.S. Nazi Party says they’re cutting mandatory spending, they’re talking about slashing Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid, and paying less on the national debt. These programs are funded by our tax dollars- they’re not handouts. Cutting them is the same as taking money out of your pocket

They continue to tell this debunked lie 🤥 for a reason: so when they cut social security to pave the way for their tax cuts for the rich you think they had an actual reason to do it.

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

The important thing right now is not to lose hope and become immobilized. With flooding the zone, that is precisely what they are hoping to do, to make you feel as if you have no voice. It is imperative that every single one of us stay informed and involved. 1/2

In less than 24 hours, Trump went from saying he won’t touch Medicaid to endorsing the House GOP's budget with $880 billion in cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act. Trump and Republicans will truly do anything to fund tax cuts for their wealthy billionaire donors.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

BREAKING: Trump just endorsed House Republicans’ plan to gut Medicaid, the program he said he would “love and cherish.” Medicaid provides health coverage to 72 million Americans. Trump is trying to rip that away. Democrats are fighting to stop him.

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

How do we even know that Elon's DOGE hackers aren't using their computer skills to peel money off of everyone's Social Security accounts? WE DON'T KNOW. There is no transparency. All we know is Elon's goal was to find 2 trillion dollars without touching Social Security, and that's impossible.
