Hey GOP! Some words of advice: Don't come for Medicaid unless you want the fight of your life. Under the Trump Tax Scam, people will literally die to fund tax breaks for the super rich. Don't Cut My Medicaid

Who could've predicted that if we elected a consistently failed businessperson and felon with narcissistic personality disorder and a history of cheating on wives, customers and partners as President that it might not work out so well?

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

One thing I'm trying to do in this is explain, in a clear, step-by step way - without abstraction or euphemism - why a national leader calling racial groups 'animals' is so dangerous www.liberalcurrents.com/trump-the-re...

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

I was at the store when I saw the notice of Patel's confirmation. I exclaimed "OH MY GOD!" Clerk asked what happened—I explained they just confirmed Kash Patel! She and no one in the checkout line with me knew what I was talking about. 😬😡

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Let me help those who just get mad and post. It will take years and possibly decades to build infrastructure anywhere in Ukraine to be able to mine these minerals. Then, the biggest refiner is China. It will take a decade for the first $ If Zelensky gets what he wants, who benefits the most ?

How does firing Americans help make America great again? Cutting 5-8% of the workers is unproductive and harmful to our economy and society. This is just simply reckless and unsustainable. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.
