Our taxes won't go to Nat'l Parks, HEW, HUD, NASA, highways, trains, FAA, C.F.P.B, NOAA, SEC, OSHA, etc. Why should we pay them? So Elon can pocket our money? Can't I at least get some government cheese out of the deal?

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

No, the mail is not “the least of our worries.” It’s a fucking important worry. It is the only postal service that delivers to every address. They are only provider of complete mail services for overseas military bases and provide free overseas PO boxes. They help prepare passport apps. Ship meds…

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME Congress didn’t pass a law requiring NIH-funded trials to include women until 1993. Drug trials with government funding only started including women in the NINETIES And that’s only drug trials! And not ones with private funding! Health research FAMOUSLY excludes women.

They almost got me to click on this. But then I realized I knew the reason: in case you have to clip some bread in an emergency! They're so cunning. I worry they're going to trip me up one day.

The key issue is Trump was always going to be a fascist and the Dems decided going "fascist lite" was the winning move instead of delivering the big and small policies and actions the people want. STFU Cariville. & nothing but live burial in a hill of dog shit for Hannity.

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

I just watched that clip of Elon talking to the Newsmax host while high & I have nothing funny to say. Just... it's starkly terrifying that a drug-addicted Nazi billionaire has taken control of the US government, & that that is not in the least a hyperbolic or subjective summary of what is going on.

You can’t mention trans people on TikTok apparently. This was a comment in response to a MAGA type saying liberals get triggered by people they haven’t even met.

HEADS UP! We need to give this story more attention. This is the next phase - investigations of those who criticize Trump, Musk or SCOTUS. It’s already started. It is a campaign of intimidation designed to silence criticism. wapo.st/3X8d75G

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

We need 1 senator and 1 member of the house to commit to objecting to every single little ounce of unanimous consent. But here’s the thing we need just one. If we all call our senators and member of Congress. It will happen, because all we need is one. One out of 215, one out of 47. That’s it. 1/

An audit is an independent inspection of an organization’s records, processes, and systems. They verify finances and records; ensure process compliance, and assess quality. Auditors look for objective evidence to determine efficiency or waste. DOGE is just a monkey with a hammer #USDemocracy

Bearing in mind there's no guarantee a Democrat will do the right thing because they're notoriously and infuriatingly unreliable and lacking in spine and integrity, still worth a shot.

Budget reconciliation bills are not subject to a Senate filibuster and can be passed in the Senate with a simple majority. Republicans are targeting enormous cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, student-loan programs, clean energy investments, and other programs Americans rely on. #USDemocracy
