Members of the US Congress receive the best healthcare in the entire world, at the expense of the American taxpayer. Every US citizen should have the exact same healthcare, yet Republicans are trying to take what little healthcare we have away! Who agrees? It's time to take theirs! Pass it on!

America is under attack!

DOGE is inflating its savings claims. DOGE counts fully paid contracts as ā€œsavings.ā€ Elon Muskā€™s U.S. DOGE Service says it has saved $55 billion by cutting jobs, canceling contracts, and renegotiating leases. But a closer look suggests that number is misleading.

Commander of Andrews Air Force Base tells military personnel not to respond to Musk's "what did you do last week" email. "Your chain of command is the only source that can direct you to take specific actions -- OPM is not in your chain of command." muskwatch.com/subscribe

Dear Mr. Dan Bongino, sir. In light of your recent appt as Dep FBI Director, Iā€™d like to extend my apologies for all the times I compelled you to rage post about me. It was all my fault. And Stephen King is a dick who never should have said mean things to you. You loving fan.

This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps. www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

The heartbreak. Trump claims USAID is bankrupting Americaā€”itā€™s less than 1% of the budget. Meanwhile, the worldā€™s richest man, Elon Musk, is gutting the largest food aid provider. He could end world hunger & still be the richest man alive. But he wonā€™t. Not just greed. Weā€™re watching evil at work.

The Pentagon told employees to "pause any response" to the email, saying it would be the authority to conduct staff reviews.

This night, 34 years ago, we were preparing to cross the Saudi Arabia-Iraqi berm to help free Kuwait. Three years ago, Putin gave the order to violate the territory and sovereignty of our partners and friends in Ukraine. We must continue support.

We had friends & allies around the world based on alliances & relationships that were built over many decades. In one month, Trump has torched them all. Now our friends are Putin, Orban, the crypto scammer in Argentina, and the guy in El Salvador offering us mercenary prisons.

Musk & DOGE are now f*cking with the Social Security Administration. šŸšØ IMPORTANT: If you or a loved one experience delayed SS payments or difficulty accessing SSDI services, CALL THE PEOPLEā€™S HOTLINE! Tell your story. ā˜Žļø 503-212-4600 ā˜Žļø Pass it on:

Rep. Jasmine Crockett brought the fire: ā€œThe fact that people are ok with losing their jobs and healthcare, going into a Trump-induced recession, not being safe, all in hopes that someone else will be hurt, is WILDā€¦but this is where we are in this Country.ā€

Pete Buttigieg said what weā€™re all thinking about Trump and Muskā€™s mayhem: ā€œWe too demand government work different and better than it has...burning it to the ground isnā€™t gonna do that for anyone.ā€

Rep Kevin Hernā€”scared to say anything against Trump. The obviousā€”if Zelenskyy were a dictator, Trump would love him like he loves Putin. Glad to see folks in Oklahoma calling him out. Even small town halls matter right now. Donā€™t let them off the hook. Keep calling, emailing, and confronting them.
