The Trump-House Republican budget includes hundreds of billions of dollars in cuts to Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, Head Start, and food assistance. Meanwhile, the rich get tax cuts. Trump isn’t lowering costs for working people – he’s raising them.

Back in July, I flagged coziness of ideology between Trump & Netanyahu—now, it’s playing out in real time. The signs were there. The patterns were clear. Some of us were paying attention. Receipts below. Also Trumps ties back to the Heritage Foundation’s Kevin Roberts, 2025 & his recent Pardons.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

This USAID stuff is just the practice run folks. If they get away with arbitrarily eliminating a long established federal agency, then they will come for your sacred cow next: IRS, Social Security, ACA,

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: He choked. The market started to tank, and suddenly, he said, “Oh, didn’t you guys already have a plan to deal with the border back in December? I love that—I’ll take that.” This is Mr. Art of the Deal.

Andy Biggs helped plan January 6, according to Ali Alexander. He should be in federal prison, probably for the rest of his natural life. But Merrick Garland had to play politics first, so instead tens of millions of workers will lose all safety protections at work. That the size of it, basically?

Must say: The protest at the Treasury is a lot more like what I've been talking about. Just saw Raskin call this a fork on the road between Democracy and Autocracy. Would like to see them call it fascism, but I'll take the step in the right direction He's almost ready to join #TheRelentless 😏

Looks like Kash Patel lied to the Senate Judiciary Committee when he tried to distance himself from the J6 Prison Choir he promoted—a group of January 6 rioters that included violent offenders. GOP senators are backing as FBI chief a guy who hailed cop-beaters. www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8xx...

Fox always talks about Jasmine Crockett @repjasmine.bsky.social like it’s the first time they’ve ever heard of her. They slow down when they pronounce her name and say there’s a Congresswoman from Texas… We know exactly what they’re doing, but we know exactly who she is. Keep kicking ass, Jasmine!

Your taxes aren't high because of schools or healthcare or food stamps. Your taxes are high because of rich people who game the system so they don't have to pay their fair share.

Worth noting that McConnell refusing to whip votes to convict Trump at his impeachment trial (or vote himself to convict) is why we’re now in a position where a trade war with our allies could happen. If McConnell is looking for the person at fault, he might want to consult a mirror.

As China continues to give money and projects to countries to gain influence, we are shutting down our agencies that do that. China is eating our lunch and Trump is the reason. Sorry folks, if you don’t see it you don’t understand how the world works. Period

If you don't think Social Security & Medicare are next, you're not paying attention. If you voted for this, you deserve all that's coming.
