If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

Members of the military are supposed to be loyal to the Constitution, not the president. Changing that seems to have been the point of the Friday Night Massacre. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice. The result is demagoguery and corruption.

Many are asking what should we do now? “We use our power, organize, mobilize, educate…the American story will not be written by who occupies the White House or by the wealthiest among us…it will be written by you, by ‘we the people.’” -fmr VP Kamala Harris receiving the NAACP Chairman’s Award.

Republicans have been trying to undo the New Deal for almost 100 years. Remember the Hoover administration were some of the first advocates of the trickle down economic theory, although, during the Guiled Age McKinley also implemented tax cuts for the wealthy along with tariffs. Sound familiar? 1/2

The resignation of a federal employee must be voluntary. I highly doubt failure to respond to this email---sent on a Saturday---would be understood by any court to be a voluntary resignation.

This week has been a steaming pile of shit, democracy-wise, but took the nine year old to a Korean bbq place last night and he decided the best part of the meal was dipping some rice in the leftover marinade/sauce and has come up with an idea for a new restaurant concept.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

I am pretty sure that MAGA voters depend on Medicaid, Social Security and Medicare. Some even need the SNAP program to eat. It's also safe to say that they get cancer, have special needs children, visit national parks, want safe food and water and law and order. They probably even eat eggs.

Social Security Offices are critical because many people, including the disabled, cannot actually access benefits without being in person. SSA closures led to a 16% decline in disability benefit receipt-w/largest impact on those w/moderately severe disabilities www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=...

I work in a small clinic where 80 percent of our patients are on Medicaid, Medicare, or both. I also collect Social Security benefits. Now I’m looking at losing all that. I’m going to fight back and resist! I’m not going to die so a few rich assholes can have more money! LET’S FIGHT!!!

How many poor people will die when Medicaid is no longer available? How many elders and disabled will die when Medicare and Social Security are cut? Who will care for the thousands in nursing homes that will be thrown into the streets?

Trump & Musk are teeing up their biggest target yet: Social Security. They're using "fraud" as a political tool to justify the attack. Social Security has long been the rock of the welfare state. It comprises 40% of income for older adults. It's so popular, the GOP loves it just as much as Dems 1/
