The House could vote next week on drastic cuts to Medicaid that would gut critical programs that protect the civil rights and dignity of millions of Americans — including people with disabilities. Contact your member of Congress: No cuts to Medicaid.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

When people talk about how social security is going to go bankrupt or our deficit is out of control; simple, raise the cap on Social Security so people who make more than 176k pay more into it and actually tax millionaires and billionaires. This isn't complex; anything else is bullshit.

Last night, Senator Kim filed these amendments to the Republicans' budget bill. Here are just a few examples of what Republicans sacrificed to give tax cuts to the rich👇

It’s been a long fucking day, I’m tired, and I misspoke. Let me rephrase it in a more correct way. Fuck Hakeem Jeffries and almost every other elected Democratic official for forcing me to be the one to get arrested instead of them doing their goddamn job and being leaders.

Federal workers are doctors, nurses & public health experts. DOGE isn’t making “efficient cuts”—they’re gutting public services to sell them off so billionaires can charge 10x more for profit. ✊ Take action: go.savepublicservices.com #SaveOurServices

Trump just deputized unelected billionaire Elon Musk's private bodyguards, giving them rights and protections reserved for federal law enforcement. Are people still afraid to say the word "coup?" www.cnn.com/2025/02/20/p...

Punchbowl News reporting that Trump and Hegseth plan to start firing top generals, including the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, who was overwhelmingly Senate-approved for a 4-year term back in 2023. No one can say they weren’t warned.

Credible death threats to politicians by right-wing extremists is a core part of Trump's authoritarian playbook, which is why Trump pardoned 1,500 credible-death-threat-making extremists on day one.

Imagine if Democratic leadership came out and made a statement that they are no longer taking corporate or dark money and the party officially supports Medicare For All. We can have better if we demand it.

Trump said in an interview with Elon Musk that he wouldn't touch Medicaid. Hours later he endorsed a GOP plan that could slash the program. www.businessinsider.com/trump-medica...

BREAKING: Trump just endorsed House Republicans’ plan to gut Medicaid, the program he said he would “love and cherish.” Medicaid provides health coverage to 72 million Americans. Trump is trying to rip that away. Democrats are fighting to stop him.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

Correct. IRS automatically flags anyone age 115 or over for review. Hey, DOGEbags, the agency already instituted safeguards against what you’re claiming. You idiots. There are a lot more ppl who show up at SSA offices with a letter asking “why do you claim I’m dead?”

They're using fear to bully you into compliance. Fear of losing your job, your savings, your Medicare/medicaid, your rights, your freedom. They're using fear to bully our allies, to break our alliances and promises. What do they have to fear? Nothing so far. That needs to change.

Mark my words: if The Democrats do not ban corporate and dark money from the primary process, Elon Musk will start to spend money in Democratic primaries in 2026 and beyond.

Today I’m in a Budget Committee markup, where Republicans are trying to give $4.5 TRILLION in tax giveaways to the richest handful of Americans. This budget is a betrayal of poor and middle class families — and Democrats are calling it out and fighting back.
