🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

Senator Mark Kelly is a combat fighter pilot and Navy captain who bravely served his country.   Elon Musk is a multi-billionaire trying to dismantle the VA who called Kelly, a veteran who put his life on the line, a “traitor.”   Disgusting.

I stand with our veterans, dammit.

How corrupt, incompetent and unhinged do a President and his oligarch handlers have to be for people to demand change? Asking for a nation...

Over $1.75 trillion was wiped out from the US stock market today. Trump owns all of this.

A shadowy group of unelected figures reshaping the federal government to their own benefit from the inside? Sounds familiar! Executive Editor of News Brian Barrett on how DOGE is the deep state.

The Trump tax (tariffs) are the LARGEST TAX INCREASE on everyday Americans in our history ... all so he can give billionaires a massive tax cut with OUR money!

📌NOTE: If you are a Democrat who went to that lying hate-fest last night in Congress armed with a fucking Ping-Pong paddle, congratulations ... You are a real-life metaphor for the pathetically weak response to Republicans' ongoing attack on America.

What RFK Junior meant to say is: Vaccinate your children against measles.

I don’t ever want to hear “thank you for your service” from that draft-dodging coward again. We already lost 20 inpatient beds for mental health and detox at my local VA. The real-world impacts of this on our nation’s heroes cannot be understated. apnews.com/article/vete...

Excellent win for medical research... US judge bars Trump administration from cutting NIH "Indirect Costs" research funding... Federal judge blocks drastic funding cuts to medical research... apnews.com/article/trum...

I don't know who this guy is but he's absolute right.

📌NOTE: Immediately after the vile attack on Zelensky by Putin's puppets Friday, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries should have called a joint press conference and explained to the American public the significance, heinousness and danger of that sickening surrender. 📌They should STILL be talking now.

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping with major retailers tomorrow, February 28, as part of an “economic blackout.” I encourage you to join. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/boycott

Three years ago today, Putin's tanks rolled into Ukraine, and Russian aircraft began bombing the country. Trump is lying. Russia started the war, not Ukraine. Putin is a dictator, not Zelensky.

Instead we vote to put them in charge so they can get even wealthier…, unbelievable!

Baldwin: "Last night, the president said 'I'm not touching Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA, I'm not touching them.' By this morning, he endorsed the House budget resolution which paves the way for massive cuts to Medicaid."

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.  It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

?? It’s no mystery where the money goes; this has been asked and answered. 70-75% of US spending is on Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, Pentagon and veterans + interest on the debt. Foreign aid is 1% of the budget. You can read this in a CBO or OMB report! Easily available.

He's preparing to do something really bad.
