PSA: This is NOT from the Social Security Administration. If you get an email from what "appears" to be SSA, open a browser and type in ssa dot gov, then log in to your account. Never click on links. Phishing attempts are looking more realistic. Don't fall victim to a scam. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue

Because of tariffs, it’s now cheaper to buy a finished computer or phone from China than to build one here from parts bought from other countries. That’s backward. These tariffs punish American businesses and workers so a politician can pretend he's tough.

Social Security staffer fired after he objected to immigrants being declared dead. Not only is this illegal because it’s falsifying government documents it also violates privacy laws. A judge declared DOGE was not to get this information. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory www.rawstory.com/social-secur...

After massive public backlash, the Social Security Administration is rolling back its disastrous cuts to phone services. This is a huge victory for the public against DOGE's rampage. Keep up the fight.

Vance's feelings got hurt because the commander of the military base didn't treat Greenland like subservient losers, so they fired her. "I commit that, for as long as I am lucky enough to lead this base, all of our flags will fly proudly -- together" ~ Meyers www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

"Americans will accept it" ~ Sununu Will you accept raising retirement age and benefit cuts you've worked for your entire life - while life expectancy in the US drops for everyone but the wealthy? I won't. They want you to think you don't have a choice.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

This law WILL make it harder for married women to vote. The goal is always to limit power to themselves. "The 19th might have to go" ~ John McEntee 19thnews.org/2025/04/save...

We found the government “waste, fraud, and abuse”.

Reporter: “What’s your credibility like because you said these tariffs would go into effect? On Monday, you said no pause, today there is a pause. So how can people believe your words today?” Trump ~ "Walls" or something.

The Keystone pipeline system, which carries crude oil from Canada to the U.S., was shut down on Tuesday because of a leak that spilled an estimated 3,500 barrels of oil in southeastern North Dakota, government and company officials said.

Who's getting rich off this engineered volatility?

What a bunch of idiots. Trump lost, America lost - everyone was abandoning us. Nations don't trust us - we don't trust us. This was nothing but stupid and now we don't even know if he'll stand by his word this time.

Why anyone thought Trump, who filed for bankruptcy six times, and thinks you need ID to buy groceries, was going to fix the economy is beyond me. #ProudBlue #TrumpRecession #TrumpTariffs #TrumpIsTheWorstPresidentInUSHistory #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #TrumpIsANationalDisgrace #FreeAbregoGarcia

Good news. This is what I hoped would happen. SCOTUS caught a lot of shit yesterday—but they said every person must get due process, limiting how the Alien Enemies Act can be used. A federal judge in Texas appointed by Donald Trump has blocked the removal of people under the Alien Enemies Act.

Is Donald really this stupid? Yeah. The risk of Trump invoking the Insurrection Act is higher than any of us would like to admit. BUT - Don't panic - it's success would be INCREDIBLY difficult. Panic makes action difficult. Plan, prepare.

🚨 The President of the United States is “floating” the idea of deporting American citizens to a prison in El Salvador. No good American should tolerate it. Not now. Not ever. Speak up. Fuck that guy. #Democracy #Constitution #ThisIsNotNormal

It doesn’t trickle down, but MAGA wins are a big boon for bad businesses — like the companies, across industries, that profit off mass criminalization, caging and spying www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

For all of #DOGE's bluster and foolishness. For all it's threats, firings, fear mongering and bullshit - all the cuts to education, healthcare and safety - this is what federal spending looks like so far this year. #elonmusk #Trump #Congress #Senate
