Is anyone else feeling like this fun little experiment called democracy in this country is over? Now I’m reading that congressional Republicans are being told to NOT have anymore town hall meetings. How else do we voice our displeasure? Trump has it all, senate, congress and military. We’re screwed

By all means don’t listen to the voters

Bankrupt? Republicans just advanced a budget that will add $4 trillion to the debt! They’re not preventing bankruptcy, they’re expediting it.

Breaking A federal judge will NOT pause his order giving the Trump admin a deadline of 11:59 p.m. tonight to pay all invoices for foreign development funds for contracts completed before Feb. 13. Doc https://buff.ly/3EWALvP

This, this, a thousand times this.

Attention working-class Americans: Republicans’ new budget does NOT include no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, or no tax on Social Security. Instead it protects tax handouts for billionaires and makes way for the largest Medicaid cut in history.

There may not be the will, but there is a way.

“You’re terminated because…?” Fired federal employees are telling their stories—no deep state, just career public servants tossed aside. DOGE’s mass firings aren’t about efficiency—they’re gutting expertise, wrecking lives, and calling it “reform.”

Put another way, Democrats are demanding the Trump administration comply with the law, and Republicans are saying they want him to keep lawbreaking.

Exactly. Get off your asses. Now

Warren: Donald Trump ran for office saying he would cut costs for ordinary families. Remember his words on day one? Now we're in the second month and what we're watching is cuts for billionaires in their taxes, but paid for by driving up costs for middle class families

Pritzker: "We're talking about the death of a constitutional republic. That's what happened in Germany in 1933, 1934. And we're seeing today that we've got an administration in Washington that's ignoring court orders."

House narrowly passes GOP budget plan calling for $4.5 trillion in tax cuts and $2 trillion in spending cuts over a decade. Moderate Republicans feared it could lead to Medicaid cuts but fell in line. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/u...

20% of Americans are on Medicaid. Many of them live in red states and are Trump voters. Republicans just voted to kill Americans to make Musk and billionaires more money.

🔥 @aoc.bsky.social : “The numbers don’t add up. $880 BILLION is a devastating cut to Medicaid, and an attack on Medicare. Anyone who votes for this budget is voting to cut Medicaid and gut health care for Medicare recipients in 🇺🇸.” Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGg7cr0...

A group calling itself the 3rd Term Project is calling for a Constitutional Amendment to let Trump have a third term in office. This move is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. We should take it seriously. The man who would be king certainly does. joycevance.substack.com/p/speaking-t...

Shame, shame shame on Republicans.. Sadly, Trump and Republicans tonight destroyed 100 years of progress... Massive budget cut bill passes House unless some Republicans switch their votes. Democrats are missing around three Democrats in hospital. Millions and millions will lose health coverage.

Sadly, turncoat House Republicans adopts budget after Trump whips GOP holdouts... Selling out Americans health care... thehill.com/homenews/adm...

McGovern: "We're here talking about billions of dollars of cuts to Medicaid and cuts to school meals and food for children, and this guy's talking about tankless water heaters. I mean, read the room."

$19,000,000,000,000.00

Lieu: "We used to fight the axis of evil. Now Trump apparently wants to join the axis of evil."

Is he letting Trump attend?

The great @rexhuppke.bsky.social with some truth-telling about Trump selling out his voters now that he doesn't need them anymore www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Elon Musk and his 19-year-olds have now disrupted the approval of medical devices that save lives. Every member of Congress bears a responsibility to stop this right now.

Senator Chris Murphy torches Elon Musk: "The scope of this greed is something we have never, ever seen before in this country, and we should not accept it as normal in the United States of America." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Murphy: "The destruction of our democracy is part of this story ... this is super unpopular, what they are doing. Nobody wants their healthcare to disappear ... so how do you get away with it? You try to destroy our democracy. You try to crush dissent. You threaten members of Congress with arrest."

Regular White House reporters would never do anything this courageous.

If you’re siding with Vladimir Putin, you’re wrong.

A newly hired advisor at DOJ is a former judge who received what was then Oregon's longest-ever suspension for misconduct. He also made the news for "for having hung a picture of Adolf Hitler in his courthouse." talkingpointsmemo.com/news/doj-hir...

FINAL: Royals 15, Rangers 6 #HEYHEYHEYHEY

Democratic House Rep. Tom Suozzi: "I have a very simple message, it shouldn't be necessary, but we have to be very clear: Putin is a dictator. Zelenskyy is not." Boom! 🔥

If you feel this way, you're not along. And together, we're going to keep the Republic. Pass it on.

JPMORGAN: Today’s consumer confidence data marked “the largest one-month drop in the survey since August 2021 .. and pushed confidence back toward the lower end of its post-COVID range. .. “.. It remains to be seen whether these measures of sentiment will weaken further ..”

House Minority Whip Katherine Clark: "Republicans are making life harder and more expensive. They are rigging the system against hardworking families, all to satisfy their billionaire donors." Nailed it! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
