Social Security is something Americans work hard for and earn throughout their lives. Keep your hands off.

In the past, when presidents tried to trim the number of government employees, the result was not lowering the cost of the government. This is because those jobs were often given to private contractors at higher rates. So it is no coincidence that a big private contractor is running this DOGE scam.

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

Attention working-class Americans: Republicans’ new budget does NOT include no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, or no tax on Social Security. Instead it protects tax handouts for billionaires and makes way for the largest Medicaid cut in history.

So increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage is “socialism”? But Amazon union busting, keeping wages low, and forcing workers onto public assistance while its founder increases his net worth by $7.9M an hour is the "free market"? Perhaps this could be a WaPo opinion piece.

Guess who’s getting a new FAA contract to help privatize air safety? Elon Musk. He’s cutting the FAA and everything else in government — and carving it off for himself. THE WHOLE THING IS A MONEY GRAB

URGENT: The House is set to vote tomorrow on whether to advance $880 billion in cuts to Medicaid — eviscerating essential programs that provide lifesaving services for people with disabilities, children, seniors, and more. Tell your representative now: Don't cut Medicaid.

Well done to officer Michael Fanone for confronting Proud Boys terrorist criminal Enrique Tarrio and calling him a “fucking traitor” to his pathetic face. Fanone is a hero and Tarrio belongs in prison.

The heartbreak. Trump claims USAID is bankrupting America—it’s less than 1% of the budget. Meanwhile, the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, is gutting the largest food aid provider. He could end world hunger & still be the richest man alive. But he won’t. Not just greed. We’re watching evil at work.

The most corrupt, inept, ideologically perverse, intellectually vapid, ethically and morally bankrupt administration in US history is at the helm during a time when every major industry faces unprecedented disruption from Cryptocurrencies and Artificial Intelligence. What could possibly go wrong?

I'm not sure how soaring egg prices, mass firings, emboldened Nazis, a Measles outbreak, and planes falling out of the sky count as "wins" to MAGA, but I'd sure hate to see what losing is to them.

They learned something from their first term. The only thing that stops a bad guy with a grift is a good guy with principles. So this time they're firing all the good guys with principles.

If you haven't realized it yet, Trump and MUSK are doing an open coup and purging the government of any guardrails as they assume authoritarian rule. But pronouns! Kamala is a woman! Woke!

Trump voters wanted the rest of us to suffer to feel great again. They wanted us to experience pain. The ones crying now with "I didn't know Trump would do that" mean they didn't think it would affect THEM. But they were perfectly fine with everyone else suffering. Alas. We're all in it now.

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

What can you do? Don’t give up hope. Dictators feed off your hopelessness. Don’t quit. Dictators want you to give up. Punch back. Dictators are bullies, and bullies are cowards. Stay tethered to the truth. Dictators need you to believe their lies. Resist. Stand with others.
