Yes, every question should be about Abrego Garcia!

Able bodied young men who are already working qualify for Medicaid because their wages are so low. Their employers, not these young men, are scamming the taxpayers.

If elected officials cannot face any and all constituents, they don’t deserve your vote

@therickwilson.bsky.social you came up with the all time best tag line that says it all in four words (or four letters) ETTD. Everything Trump Touches Dies. Never gets old. Always accurate

This does seem to be the plan. There are millions of small businesses employing millions of people. They just don’t have millions of dollars to bribe Trump

Who is racing to create jobs? To start manufacturing here? Be specific- cite examples! Here in Iowa, Maytag laid off 650 workers in anticipation of decline in demand. Small businesses are losing access to suppliers and can’t replace offshore manufacturing because US facilities don’t exist now

The MAGA mantra “But the deficit…” is a scam repeated every day by every MAGA supporting Republican. Today, right now, they could cut $92 million in discretionary spending without hurting seniors, children, vets, persons with disabilities. A military parade for a narcissist is not a vital service

Exactly right @davidfrum.bsky.social No help for small businesses, no help for regular folks who live on a budget

Questions to ask MAGA MoCs: Sen X, Rep Y, you say DOGE cuts and Trump Tariff Taxes are all about reducing the deficit. If this is true, explain how you will stop the DISCRETIONARY spending of $92 million for a birthday parade and $26 million per qtr for golf trips. Or is “But the deficit” a scam?

As someone whose life was saved by having an AED and trained staff in the office I managed, this is an excellent idea! AEDs save lives, take it from a person who died in 2013.

You are absolutely correct. Thank you for being a voice for the millions of businesses that are being destroyed by Trump’s chaotic economic decisions

“But the deficit…” is a MAGA scam. If any MAGA Republican cared about the deficit, they could start by reducing discretionary expenditures like…oh…$92 million birthday parades and $26 million per qtr golf junkets. But they won’t because they do not care about the deficit AT ALL

Thanks @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social Your perspective is always helpful and so well stated

“But the deficit…” is just another MAGA scam. When taxpayers are forced to pay for $92 million ego birthday parades and $26 million per qtr for long weekend golf junkets, there is no one in MAGA world who legitimately believes in deficit reduction

It’s a hassle no matter which way you go, which always seems like it’s a feature not a bug when it comes to women’s issues

Absolutely true now from this day forward. For those already married with a husband’s surname, change your name back to match your birth certificate!

Let me say again, Trump is devastating for small businesses. Bribes paid by any company to Trump are despicable but to demand payments for tariff concessions means small businesses don’t have a chance.

✔️ Will crush small businesses with higher production costs and economic uncertainty, which will in turn lead to higher unemployment

I think it is important to ask everyone each time there is a Let’s Cut Medicaid story “Do you want your local hospital to close? Do you want to live in a heath care desert?” Because this is what happens. It’s not Waste Fraud Abuse that goes away, it’s your doctors

I called my MAGA rep. Took 2 minutes. You can do this.

How can any client of a knee bending law firm ever trust that the firm won’t sell them out/misrepresent them if so directed by Trump? It seems these capitulating firms have clearly shown to whom they have tied themselves

Why does the news media keep calling MAGA Republicans conservative? GOP can call itself whatever it wants, but it’s the media from top to bottom that keeps the out-of-date term in play. Just say MAGA

I just called Rep Ashley Hinson, representative for my district in Iowa (IA2) at (202) 225-2911 and spoke with a staffer in her DC office. Took 3 min, including looking up her phone number. If I can do it, YOU can do it. Call your rep, especially if they’ve got an R next to their name

Great idea. Dems - all of you - line up on the Capitol steps and hand over a list of your transactions ASAP. Call in the cameras and reporters. Announce it today.

All of this is so wrong! Our country and all that it has stood for is being destroyed by Trump & the people behind Project 2025, masked thugs who just obey orders, judges who give away power, cowards in govt, universities, law firms, the media all are the real traitors to democracy and freedom
