I was told I was overreacting. Now they’re about to fire 83,000 people from the VA. A third of whom are veterans themselves.

🔥BREAKING NEWS: Two sources have told me that the Department of Veterans Affairs payroll system (VATAS) has been down since Friday. It is operating in 'Emergency Mode' only and will have to resort to straight time cards to get people their base pay on Friday.

It is corporate welfare to pay such low wages that your employees must turn to food stamps to feed their families. The government is making up the difference with our tax money that these companies have more than enough profits from which to pay a living wage.

With Social Security, don't get too caught up talking about the minutiae. THEY ARE TRYING TO TAKE AWAY SOCIAL SECURITY. Lead with that every time, then talk about how: removing offices, ID verification, bogus fraud claims, layoffs, etc. Set the narrative now. It's not alarmist. It's happening.

Don’t elected officials work for their constituents? Did we not hire them? Why are we paying them if they aren’t doing their job?

If government’s role is protecting its citizens, why would they cut funding that could save women’s and unborn babies’ lives? How is this prolife?

John Hemingway was a fighter pilot in a vastly outnumbered Royal Air Force, one of the “few” hailed by Churchill that saved Britain in the early stages of World War II, and was an Allied flight controller during the D-Day invasion of Normandy in 1944. He died at 105 on Monday. nyti.ms/3RnD51z

Do you see white, brown, and black arms in this poster? The Lord himself made those skin colors. They are all beautiful. It is a sin to make this teacher take down such a loving message.

This is what fascists did. Kill mothers and their babies. Killed those of a different religion, those with disabilities, anyone they could “other”. We must be vigilant to not allow our country to fall to this dangerous ideology today. Remember the lessons from the past.

The 100 lowest-paying major US corporations spent $522B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2023. Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay. The typical worker at these companies earned just $34k. Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $14.7M. See the problem?

The party of lower taxes wants to keep grocery taxes? Oh, but it is a tax on us -not the rich- so that’s apparently acceptable.

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?

DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America. Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.

I am tired of hearing red hatters say “If you care so much about Ukraine etc. why don’t you go live there?”How about if you care so little about people and don’t believe in a safety net or a democracy, why don’t you move to Russia or North Korea?

ALL of the Republicans are standing up and cheering for DOGE, Elon Musk, and Trump’s “policies.” Remember that when you’re unemployed and can’t afford your basic necessities because of Trump’s tariffs.
