GOP Sugar Daddy Elon Musk gets his tax cuts. Your Republican Congressman gets his Viagra. But YOU don’t get your life-saving surgery. Welcome to Trump 2.0.

The next 12-24 hours will be big for phone calls to Congress, especially if you are represented by a Republican in the House. The subject of everyone's call? MEDICAID! Many in the House GOP are scared of these cuts. They should be...and they need to hear from us. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Spot the difference? 🔴 Republicans slash healthcare for kids, seniors & people with disabilities—to fund tax cuts for billionaires. 🔵 Democrats fight to strengthen Medicaid & ensure everyone gets the care they deserve. Lives are on the line. We won’t back down. Hands Off My Medicaid

We all deserve health insurance when we get sick and not go bankrupt. But MAGA Rs want to slash Medicaid funding so the most vulnerable can’t get insurance, all this so the MAGA Rs can pay for tax cuts for their wealthy donors. All part of the GOP Tax Scam HandsOffMyMedicaid

Marie Van Brittan Brown (1922-1999), born in Jamaica, Queens, NY. She was a nurse. She felt unsafe while her husband was away working and spent many nights at home alone. She invented a home security system with a camera and audio. We use her technology today to keep us safe. #BlackHistoryMonth

Musk totally humiliated Trump during their joint Oval Office press conference. Musk brought along his 4-year-old son — making Trump look like the kid’s babysitter — disrespectfully wore a T-shirt and baseball cap, and even interrupted Trump. It’s clear who’s really in control, and it ain’t Trump.

📌I was the managing editor at Stars and Stripes and can tell you that Pete Hegseth is the first SecDef I am aware of to be openly booed by military families on a military base. 📌This is the most significant pushback I have seen to this administration's racist, hostile initiatives.

The most corrupt administration in the history of the republic is waging war on the public sector and democracy itself, under the guise of fighting corruption, with corporate media and Big Tech enabling the torrent of disinformation that has brainwashed their supporters and divided their opponents.

Mark Cuban shared his frustrations on Bluesky about the “broken” US healthcare system. His biggest proposed solution is to make medical school FREE for all students. Doing so would encourage many more people to become doctors, ultimately shortening patient wait times and improving access to care.

98% of NIH grants that should have gone out this month, didn't. Despite court orders 'unfreezing' the funds, they are frozen. Biomedical research will grind to a halt. Clinical trials will end. All for no reason: the total impact on the US budget is miniscule

Democrats should be responding to all this the way Republicans would respond if Clinton/Biden/Obama just capriciously decided to shut down the Department of Defense by fiat. It’s a 20 alarm fire and the Democrats are responding like it’s a single matchstick.

Project 2025 was unpopular because of things like the plan for Trump to shut down the CFPB, which helps you get your money back if a bank cheats you.

This is an absolutely astonishing report. DOGE did a complete takeover of CFPB’s systems at the root. This is identical to worst case scenarios for the most devastating cyberattacks by foreign actors, only this is an internal threat

Maxwell Frost is 💯 right. The real enemy is corruption, fascism, greed, & big money rigging the system, not each other. We must unite, not divide. Bring kindness back to BlueSky, focus on the fight ahead, and stand together against fascism. The stakes are too high for infighting.
