Winter in NorCal 😎

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

A quick 10min time investment that gets you up to speed on what’s going on and, more importantly, WHY it’s going on. Watch it all the way. Then call you representatives & attend their town hall meetings. Speak up and let them hear from you.

Several national polls show that most Americans are against what Trump is doing right now. Please call your representatives in Congress, especially if your reps are Republicans. SOEAK UP now and keep speaking up. There’s no shortcut for standing up for our democracy. Public opinion is important.

Quinnipiac poll has found that 83% of Americans disapprove of Trump pardoning the J6 convicted felons. In another poll 62% of Americans say that Trump is NOT doing enough to reduce costs.

Trump is under water with respect to approval ratings. CNN pill at -5% Pre Research Center at -4% Reuters at -7% Ipsos poll reports -8% Americans don’t like what we’re seeing!

Even though President Trump says he trusts Vladimir Putin, 81% of Americans say they don’t trust the Russian leader. Maybe Trump should listen to us!

So disconcerting when a candidate for the office of state Supreme Court Judge says he welcomes dark money to help his campaign. Wisconsin is where this is happening. Elon is promoting his candidate with his billions. We must bring it to light. Bring it to Wisconsinites. Support Susan Crawford!

I had a one-on-one with my Congressman today. He’s a Democrat and I asked him some detailed questions. One whether his Republican colleagues could be convinced to speak up. His answer was that many are completely on board with MAGA. Some are reasonable but won’t speak up fearing being primaried.

How can everyday Americans be so incredibly gullible to think that the DOGE billionaire acts in their interest? The super rich want tax cuts that cost $4.5 Trillion. They have to find the $ somewhere. Use your damn noggin for once and realize that our social safety nets aren’t gonna survive.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

The resistance will bring down Musk and Trump. Congress, wake up before your power is gone. The GOP begging Trump to release money to their states is pathetic—stand up to this tyranny. Congress controls the purse strings.

Another airplane collision today in Arizona. How come we hear nothing from the Republicans right now? Their outrage machine would be on air 24/7 if this were happening under a Democratic administration. Silence is not an option when people’s lives are at stake! Speak up Republicans we can’t hear you

The Guardian is reporting on the power of the American consumer. Is there any US media reporting on this?

Money and markets, y'all. It's your superpower.

Rose is one of thousands of federal workers who have been terminated by the Trump administration. At 26, she's left wondering what to do now.

The director of OMB said that civil servants “are increasingly viewed as the villains. We want to put them in trauma.” Who on gods green earth would say such horrible things about their fellow citizens? The Trump admin wants to traumatize Americans and delights in this despicable action.

Elon and his crew come in & fire government employees en masse. And then realize ‘oh hell we shouldn’t have done that but don’t know how to get in touch with them to reinstate them. Jesus Christ! Where the hell is the Republican OUTRAGE machine that would’ve eaten Joe Biden alive had he done that.

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

Wonder if Elon could survive a week on the salary we make. While he burns through $8 million a day, the working class struggles—yet he paints us as the enemy.

What is the driving force that makes Republicans so irrational in their decisions? They’re clearly not doing what’s best for the country as a whole. For the people who elected them as their representatives. They’re doing what’s best for a handful of billionaires to the detriment of everyone else!

If you’re really concerned about the American people then why shut down the Bureau of Consumer Protection? Why does DOGE need access to IRS accounts of Americans? So many questions and no answers from the Trump administration. Hello…are you there Mr. President?

Elon Musk and his young DOGE engineers are seeking access to people’s personal and sensitive IRS information. I am wondering if Americans who support the MAGA ideology are fine with their info being accessed by young folks working for a billionaire? Seriously, I want to know if you’re ok with that.
