Firing 76,000+ employees will absolutely gut the VA. Musk-Trump want veterans to die, en masse. There's no other way to frame it.

Great to meet with VFW members from Vermont. These are the men and women who put their lives on the line to defend our country. We are proud of them and what they've done. No cuts to the VA. No privatization.

Trump talks about loving veterans (left). Then fucks them over. 80000 jobs to be cut at the VA. He is a treasonous disgrace. apnews.com/article/vete...

In today’s hellscape news, the Trump administration is planning to cut 80,000 jobs from the Department of Veterans Affairs. The VA is already short-staffed and wait times are abhorrent. Veterans will die because of this move.

Every country in the European Union should immediately enact a 100% tariff on all Tesla vehicles and Starlink products until the US resumes all aid to Ukraine @kajakallas.bsky.social #SlavaUkraini

Doug Ford is pulling US liquor and wines from the province. No US companies will get Gov't procurement contracts. He's ripped up the Starlink contract. 25% surcharges on electricity and critical minerals if any further tariffs. May even cut the power off. If Dougie is serious, wow! #TradeWar #Canada

Again, a presidency-ending scandal for any previous president to treat our closest ally/neighbor/fellow NATO member the way he treats Trudeau & 🇨🇦.

President Elon The Ignorant called Social Security a "Ponzi scheme," prompting former SSA commissioner Martin O’Malley to warn of "collapse and an interruption of benefits." If you rely on Social Security, know this: Musk is coming for your money.

Trump and Musk are moving to cancel the leases of two pivotal NOAA buildings, including one that is the nerve center for generating national weather forecasts. Absolutely no one benefits from this. This is just mindless destruction for the sake of it.

Workers depend on @noaa.gov to know what weather conditions they will be working through. It allows them to properly prepare for the workday. Gutting this essential service puts everyone across the country at risk of weather related injury. NOAA saves lives. www.cnn.com/2025/02/27/p...

In President Donald Trump’s meritocracy, you apparently don’t need much educational experience to run the Department of Education. With a demonstrated lack of knowledge about even the most basic education laws and policies, wrestling exec and billionaire Linda McMahon is now the head of the DOE.

SCOOP: Now that Linda McMahon is confirmed/sworn in as secretary, Trump will be imminently issuing an executive order eliminating the Department of Education. I’ve obtained a draft of an email that McMahon will be sending to staff re: the EO and the department’s “final mission”. Here is a portion:

Thank you, Tammy Baldwin. Senator Baldwin lives in a purple state and people love her. I have interviewed her on Medicaid, SNAP, Medicare and Social Security. She always speaks out, she has ALWAYS been progressive. I am so PROUD to know her. An AMAZING Senator and a HERO. Wisconsin is very lucky!💜

🔥Leland Dudek was appointed to Acting Social Security Commissioner because of his pro-DOGE social media posts. By communicating to Senator Elizabeth Warren that he BULLIED AGENCY EXECUTIVES to help DOGE he's OPENLY admitting the Trump Administration is trying to UNDERMINE Social Security. TRAITOR!😡

The world has witnessed the most disgraceful political tantrum of all time. Trump is not the leader of the "free world." He is convicted felon who doesn't deserve to be in the same room as President Zelenskyy. There is no going along to get along with this thug. Canada needs to stand with Ukraine.

That press conference was choreographed for an audience of one and he sits in Moscow. Once, we fought tyrants. Today Trump and Vance are bending America’s knee. And that weakens us.
