Cutting Medicaid is #Shortsighted for example, 1. for every $1 the government spends on #birthcontrol it saves $7 2. A Primary care visit is cheaper than an ER visit. 3. Prevention is best Don’t cut my Medicaid #momsky #tRUMPisADangertoAmericasHealth

Good morning friends. It’s happening. Folks are swarming townhalls of Republican MoCs blistering them over Musk/Trump regime’s brutal cuts. This should also send a message to @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social & all House Dems ▶️ not one vote for Musk/Trump’s budget. #resist

PERMANENT tax breaks?? $8.5 TRILLION! It’s appalling that Republicans are dubbed the party of “fiscal responsibility”. ZERO historical evidence EXISTS. “In addition to money for the border, defense and energy, that version also includes a $4.5 trillion tax cut and a $4 trillion debt limit hike.”

1 month in: Trump’s death toll is at 88 dead over 9 plane crashes. Add 5 from Jan 6th, murdered trans people, around 1.2 million dead from his failure with Covid. Plus RFK Jr’s 83 dead Samoans, mostly kids, & more to come needlessly. It’s their death cult. But our lives are on the line. #Resist

As we absorb the individual body blows against democracy being delivered daily, maybe we haven’t been paying enough attention to the fact that we no longer have ANY laws the GOP comply with. What are we going to do about it? www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

In the wealthiest nation on earth, 25% of seniors should not be living on $15,000 a year or less. We should EXPAND Social Security, not cut it. I will soon be introducing legislation to significantly raise Social Security benefits and extend the solvency of the program.

Trump just blamed Ukraine outright for Russia’s invasion. ‘You shoulda never started it,’ he said. What a lie, a Russian lie—from the President of the US.

Congressional Republicans are AGAINST giving money to childhood cancer research & Alzheimer’s research. They’re FOR cutting SNAP & WIC benefits & Medicaid. Most importantly, they’re FOR cutting taxes for the rich at our expense. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #RepublicansAreDestroyingAmerica

When Nixon's unconstitutional crimes were revealed in the early 1970s, a large portion of the public (including many Republicans) looked upon his actions with horror & disgust, like he'd violated a sacred trust. What Trump & Musk have done over the past 4 weeks is so far in excess of what Nixon did.

The National Park Service fired many of its park rangers as part of a reduction in the federal work force. Some rangers decided it was worth the risk to speak out online about the cuts and share their love of the Park Service. “It’s scary, but it was the right thing to do.”
