#ProudBlue FOTUS and his buddy Elon are having a great time cutting our democracy to shreds. This is criminal and Americans are suffering for it. They are going after Medicaid and you can bet Social Security and Medicare won’t be far behind. We have the stupid MAGAs to thank for this, FAFO, idiots!

The Congressional Review Act (CRA) of 1996 already allows Congress to undo the prior President's regulations, but only one at a time. This new bill The Midnight Rules Relief Act (H.R. 77) is being pushed to allow them to repeal all of Biden's regulations at one time. This is highjacking our gov.

Your weather app gets its info because of NOAA. Your mail arrives at your home because of USPS. Your plane navigates the skies because of the FAA. Your food is safer -- and we get alerts when it isn't -- because of USDA. You hear about earthquakes worldwide because of USGS.

Like does he think computers are still using punch cards? The number of people who voted in the last election was roughly 160 million. So modern-day computers can't handle this but can deal with exponentially more credit card and bank transactions on a daily basis?

Lotta stuff you can urge federal Democrats to do right now that’s effective and useful, but the scale and impact of the constitutional crisis is so severe that they should be abusing parliamentary procedure to hold the floor in the House and the Senate until the coup ends. Waiting is dangerous.

The Musk/Trump Administration has decided Medicare will no longer cover Telehealth visits, as of 4/1/25. Why? Because Fuck You, that's why. When will you get it through your heads that Musk/Trump have nothing but contempt for you, and would be happiest if you just stopped living.

A reminder that the US spent USD 0.35 out of USD 100 on Ukraine, the most major war in Europe since WW2. It’s just above Bulgaria which couldn’t fit in the screenshot. Anyone pretending Ukraine had a toll on the US is lying at worst and uninformed at best. www.statista.com/statistics/1...

Trump and Musk’s “pointless bloodbath” at the FAA is even worse than you think. The Trump administration fired several FAA lawyers tasked with helping keep reckless and drunk pilots out of the skies — and officials are baffled.

People genuinely, urgently need to inform themselves about the concept of necrosecurity. It drives every part of the right wing response to COVID and to disease and disability itself. Rebekah is right - they WANT mass death.
