Call your Senators and Rep EVERY DAY. This week, tell them to extend Medicare telehealth permanently!! US Capitol switchboard (202) 224-3121 ⭐

Infuriating! 😡 Don’t Cut My Medicaid! The majority of my son’s medical team are in Austin (1.5 hr drive), some in Houston (3 hrs), one in Dallas (5 hrs). Telehealth appts are needed & necessary! My son has extreme car anxiety, not to mention wear and tear on our car, gas! 🤬 And we’re not alone!

We can agree that it's shameful if it comes to fruition. I dont think there is any chance it does. I don't understand why people don't believe Zelensky is as good a negotiator as Mexico or Canada. He knows you give Trump the PR win and move on

83% of Americans disapprove of King Donold’s pardoning his Jan. 6 goon squad, and now his poll numbers are falling faster than a gold-plated toilet in a hurricane. SMITE!

My new favorite drug is Republican members of Congress getting yelled at in their districts by constituents who hate Musk.

fasc*sm and naz*s are ok but teaching Black History is a bridge too far? Challenge accepted. When I get back from TX, I'm going to plan my calendar so I can start my #BlogCast on Black History here in #Indiana, focusing on Free Black Schools & the Teachers. +

HELL YEAH!! The largest organization of professional and amateur surfers has just SLAPPED Donald Trump with a major lawsuit to protect California beaches from off shore drilling. SEE YOU IN COURT!

DOGE technologists Edward Coristine—the 19-year-old known online as “Big Balls”—and Kyle Schutt are now listed as staff at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

To explain: Judge Ho has said, "I'm canceling the trial for now, eliminating one thing DOJ was complaining about, and instead I've asked a super conservative judge who can argue this to SCOTUS successfully to argue against the govt for me." Brilliant move.

One of the reasons I'm NOT a fan of Sanders is how you always have to put everyone else down to make him look better. Very sad. If he were a team player, we'd be better off.

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

Once again, the orange felon FOTUS is trying to blackmail Ukraine! How long are we going to tolerate this traitor and criminal??? Congress, it's IMPEACHMENT time!! 🤬

Folks! We have a fundraising. We are in desperate need of night bird 3T. With it help we will be able to find Russians. Especially to see how they are advancing and destroy them. Just like in this thread🧵 AFV losses in Kursk. We need only 900$🔽 secure.wayforpay.com/donate/Krieg...

TWO HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS of OUR tax money spent on an AD thanking a traitorous convicted felon for something useless. Are you shitting me???? 🤬

Heroin addict and roadkill enthusiast, RFK Jr. kills flu shot campaigns and cancels a major vaccination conference.

This is what it says: US may shut down Starlink in Ukraine over mineral disputes - Reuters February 21, 2025 The US is threatening to cut off Ukraine's access to Starlink over its refusal to provide access to strategic resources. This is what I say: You fucking orange traitor shithead! 💙 💛

Worst. Episode. EVER.

Seems legit.... We don't want to be a nation of underachieving Americans.

In 1 MONTH, he: —Cratered the economy —Skyrocketed inflation —Tanked the stock market —Destroyed our global standing —Killed our most critical alliances —Gutted our most vital agencies —Made flying unsafe —Brought back Measles —Cut us off from foreign intel —Declared himself king

Yes, THIS is the real issue. AP stood up for right, and the rest of them caved. Unless the rest of media stands behind AP and up to face the orange traitor, Free Speech and Independent Media is dead, and then so is American freedom. ⭐
