Hurricane season starts June 1 and if you live in a Gulf state, you need to watch this. It’s worse than you might think. The few employees still left at FEMA admit: they are not prepared. Not enough staff. Not enough supplies. Not enough leadership. Plan accordingly.

Reminder: The reconciliation bill didn’t pass because some GOP reps didn’t think it cut enough, especially from Medicaid. What’s not on the chopping block? Trillions in tax breaks for billionaires. #GreedyBillionaires #TaxTheRich #Corruption

"Waste" is when people get Medicaid. "Efficiency" is when you let 60,000 tons of food that's already been paid for rot instead of feeding someone with it.

We’re living through Trump’s conversion of the presidency into a global business operation—one in which family enrichment drives national policy. Foreign influence. Secret deals. Cryptocurrency grifts. Worse than just corruption, this is a blueprint for authoritarian kleptocracy.

Never argue with lies or misinformation. Instead, “Cause a Pause” in the misinformed person's way of thinking. Start a new thread with facts. Offline, listen with empathy, genuinely express interest in the source of misinformation. #TruthBrigade #DisinfoBuster truthbrigade.indivisible.org/s/i1G0yF8P

Magna Carta: "No free man shall be seized, imprisoned, dispossessed, outlawed, exiled or ruined in any way, nor in any way proceeded against, except by the lawful judgement of his peers and the law of the land. To no one will we sell, to no one will we deny or delay right or justice." Works for me.

House Republicans’ tax bill would grant the Treasury Secretary the ability to accuse any nonprofit of being a “terrorist supporting organization” without basic due process. No president should have the power this bill provides to punish their political opponents.
