🚨 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

Trump and Musk are going after Social Security, Medicaid, the VA, and public education. In what universe, in what world, in what religion is it morally acceptable to cut programs for hungry children in order to reward the wealthy?

Should we really be trusting SpaceX to make the FAA safer as Elon has suggested? What a ludicrous idea.

I just finished reading “How to Stand Up to a Dictator” by @mariaressa.bsky.social If you want to know why the world, especially the U.S. political system, is why it is right now (even though this book is focused on the Philippines) you should read this book. And then delete Facebook.

One thing Trump didn't talk about last night: his plans to abandon American women’s right to abortion care in medical emergencies. I wonder why he wouldn't want anyone to know that.

Giant corporations are using Donald Trump’s haphazard tariff announcements as an excuse to raise prices. The Trump Administration has no plan to stop it – and working families will unfairly foot the bill.

DOGE isn't here to serve anyone other than Elon Musk and Donald Trump. And it was never about "efficiency." Just like the doge meme, the lives of hard-working families are a joke to them. youtube.com/shorts/nHoGr...

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?

Trump and Musk are the biggest sources of “waste, fraud and abuse” in the federal government, not hardworking Americans.

The Senate just voted on a simple idea: If you make $1 BILLION in a year, you don't deserve a tax handout. Democrats voted yes. Republicans voted no. Republicans are planning huge tax cuts for the rich, but they’re not the ones who need a break — working people do.

While Trump appoints 13 billionaires to his cabinet and Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg see their wealth increase by $217 billion since the election, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, 25% of seniors live on $15g or less and millions cannot afford rent. SAY NO TO OLIGARCHY.

European friends: Do not accept lectures on democracy & freedom of speech from an Administration that denies the 2020 election results and is now suing & intimidating news outlets whose reporting they don’t like. Stand tall against right-wing extremism. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/w...

At least $12 trillion from global oligarchs is hidden offshore in secret tax havens worldwide. And it is headquartered right here in the USA. Instead of cutting lifesaving programs like the VA, Medicaid, and food stamps, we should be cracking down on tax havens for the ultra-rich.

77% of the American people want to cap credit card interest rates. It is about time that we listened to them. Congress must provide financial relief to working families struggling to pay for the high price of groceries, rent, gasoline, and prescription drugs.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.
