I am inundated with messages from federal workers who are feeling frantic, furious and fed up after receiving Musk’s email and reading his threatening X post. The psychological warfare is the point.

These two beautiful Shepherds, 4yo Miles #248995 and 5yo Paisley #248994 came into Apple Valley CA together. Neither was fixed or microchipped, a heartbreaking reminder of why so many Shepherds end up in pounds. Now past their deadline, they’re in grave danger of not making it out alive.

What happened to poor Cajon #248952? Just 18mo, he arrived in Apple Valley CA with 2yo Flower #248950 and 3yo Carson #248951. All are now at risk TBK in this slaughterhouse after arriving FEB 11. There are always excuses from AVAS as to why so many die here, yet no effort is made to save lives.

All beautiful friendly dogs, 5yo Sinatra #248918, 1yo Frank #248919 & 1yo Dean #248920 are deserving of their chance at happy lives in Apple Valley CA. They share their kennel & are past their deadlines & soon TBK. Arriving just Feb 18, shares/reposts will help them be seen and potentially saved.

Reminder: We’re less than three weeks away from a government shutdown. Yet instead of passing bills to keep the government open, Republicans are kowtowing to Trump’s unconstitutional actions and pushing a budget that is just one giant tax cut for the richest of the rich.

Just 7 months old, Bow #248955 arrived with Tweedle and Dee who appear to have found their forever homes. But Bow still waits and is soon to be added to the euthanasia list in Apple Valley CA. Black dogs really are beautiful and she needs a boost to increase her chances.

You can see how sad he is, Jasper #248917 is just a baby at 9 months old and is likely wondering what brought him to such a horrific place. He's located in Apple Valley CA and his life is about to end before it's begun. He needs help before he hits the euthanasia list within hours...

Infuriating! 😡 Don’t Cut My Medicaid! The majority of my son’s medical team are in Austin (1.5 hr drive), some in Houston (3 hrs), one in Dallas (5 hrs). Telehealth appts are needed & necessary! My son has extreme car anxiety, not to mention wear and tear on our car, gas! 🤬 And we’re not alone!

Ableism & saneism can be weaponized against anyone who’s undesirable for any reason. Not being disabled is no protection bc not only can anyone become disabled at any time, authorities can declare anyone disabled at any time. And bc the public is so down with ableism, they usually get away with it

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Firing 7000 IRS agents will make it even easier for the rich to get away with skirting what they owe. But it's also a gift to the multi-billion dollar tax prep industry. Fewer IRS agents to help you file your taxes means more money in the pockets of companies like TurboTax.

We’re still in a global pandemic. The threat of Covid has not passed. We’re seeing an increase in bird flu, measles, TB & more. Public health has been dying a slow & painful death for years. We are on our own. The good news? Masks work for more than just Covid! My complete guide to respirators 👇🏼

What's happening in Ukraine is both tragedy and travesty. If the U.S. withdraws from NATO and it can't step up without our support, it will also be disaster and atrocity. And all of it can be laid at the feet of the traitor, Donald Trump. More in my latest: www.marytrump.org/p/at-the-ful...

Senate Republicans once again showed us their true colors last night. They want to pay for tax breaks for their rich corporate friends by defunding your Medicaid and Medicare. Unreal.

The Senate just voted on a simple idea: If you make $1 BILLION in a year, you don't deserve a tax handout. Democrats voted yes. Republicans voted no. Republicans are planning huge tax cuts for the rich, but they’re not the ones who need a break — working people do.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau exists to protect Americans from predatory lenders, junk fees, and fraud. Shutting it down does nothing more than give sketchy companies a free pass to prey on the public. We’re not going to let that happen.
