Did you know that 72 MILLION Americans rely on Medicaid for healthcare? The Trump Administration and MAGA Republicans in Congress want to take it away to give tax breaks to billionaires. Don't let them take away our healthcare. Let them know you didn’t vote for this shit.

A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, our healthcare, and the information we receive. Many are now currying favor with Trump to avoid accountability and maintain their power. This is what oligarchy looks like.

I've noted some of the procedural things Democrats could be doing in Congress, but this point from @edgeofsports.bsky.social's great piece in the Nation deserves emphasis. This is basic politics, and it's baffling that every Democrat isn't doing it every day. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

I’m not sure the rest of the country fully grasps the panic and anger building in DC, MD, and VA. The entire economy of this area is about to collapse. Paychecks are stopping. Careers are ruined. Taxes are about to plummet. Yet no one seems able to stop this madness.

JD Vance owns AcreTrader, an app that lets wealthy—often foreign—investors buy up U.S. farmland. Guess who’s deliberately tanking farm economies so JD and his billionaire tech buddies can scoop it up for pennies. civileats.com/2024/09/18/j...

Giving an unelected billionaire unfettered access to personal taxpayer data—including Social Security numbers and bank account information—is unacceptable and a complete breach of privacy for hundreds of millions of Americans.

The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

I would simply abuse parliamentary procedure to holler this into a microphone or bullhorn repeatedly on the House and / or Senate floors until Republicans forcibly removed me, thus bringing more attention to the sentence I was hollering.

The “burn it all down” people in Trump’s government are incompetent. But don’t think their tinkering around in Washington doesn’t have consequences. Planes are crashing, your prices are going up; and diseases are spreading. Very soon, their stupidity will touch all of us.

President Trump is creating chaos so you don’t notice the sky-high price of eggs — if you can find them on the shelves. So you don’t notice inflation hit a 7-month high. So you don’t notice an unelected billionaire is running things, not the president.
