Question: What's the difference between a January 6th rioter and a senior citizen living in Derrick Van Orden's congressional district? Answer: Republicans take care of January 6th rioters

Seniors lose Medicare telehealth benefits on 3/31 Why? Trump demanded that Republicans kill the bill extending the benefits. So they did. Trump comes before seniors. We're emailing every single reporter in these vulnerable Republicans districts to make sure their constituents know

The proud boys are at the capital announcing that the proceeds of their crypto coin will go to funding their lawsuit against the doj. This is who the Republican Party took care of first when they came into power. While normal people get health care cuts

Surreal video: Ben Shapiro reading advertisements for tax attorneys to a nearly empty CPAC room

I’m in the room - it’s worse in person!

I’m at cpac. They gave me a hat that says “make ai open source again” which I guess I agree with? Elon a terrible public speaker. Everyone here has no idea how much they’ve overreached and how fast the pendulum of public opinion is swinging against them.

Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans killed Medicare coverage of telehealth. This may be an in-the-weeds policy issue, but the reality of the matter is important. If there are low-information low engagement swing voters in your life, especially seniors, you need to make sure they understand.

10 year marine vet axed by Trump from the VA with no due process continues helping out as a volunteer to make sure vets are taken care of www.newsnationnow.com/politics/cut...

Data Project: reports high wait times for appointments at the VA after Trump cuts. looked for a database of wait times at VA facilities, no luck. These facilities do individually report daily time-to-an-appointment. I scraped data from 829 facilities, will pull daily: github.com/pdennis/VA_w...

if you're a new patient trying to make an individual mental health appointment at the Fort Meade VA Clinic, your estimated wait time to see somebody is 153 days. And Trump/Elon continue to make more cuts to fund tax cuts for rich people.

the share of Americans who think the economy is on the wrong track rose to 53% in the latest poll from 43% in the January 24-26 poll only 32% of respondents approved of Trump's performance on inflation www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

I think it’s stupid to pay for a tax break for Mark Zuckerberg with new debt on a toddler whose head start center was closed by this administration

The crazy thing about the gulf of America issue is that they cut the veterans crisis hotline but kept Elons contracts

Continuing to add to the thread tracking impacts to veterans of Trump administration cuts. Congressional and state republicans still silent on this critical issue. They must be held accountable.

I just posted today's show where I interview @patdennis.bsky.social of American Bridge Pac and @alecmac.bsky.social of @propublica.org standupwithpete.libsyn.com/1297-alec-ma...

"WE CALL THIS A PEARL HARBOR": As Trump's Veterans Care cuts ripple through the system, I need a place to keep track of everything that's verified. That's this thread. If you see more, please add: 🧵

Job cuts at Medicare have begun. If you're the type of person reading bluesky on a Sunday, that means it's your job to make sure the low information low engagement voters in your life hear about it. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

TRUMP GUTS CANCER RESEARCH: “We’re working on cures for cancer, we’re working on cures for diabetes, we’re working on cures for Alzheimer's, ALS, all of these things... those people that you see leaving... they’re taking away with them years of experience on these things.”
