Proposed #SocialSecurity office closures may be detrimental to Americans with limited #technology access, especially in rural and tribal communities. Research shows that ensuring access to this successful program can help keep millions of Americans out of #poverty.

DOGE keeps cutting agencies and funding and personnel, but no one I know has saved a dime on taxes. It’s almost like they are stripping the public good of resources to send that money to the oligarchs in tax cuts…

I tell anyone who will listen that Missouri has been running the pilot for Project 2025 for decades. Here are two Missouri Senators burning the “woke agenda” nearly two years ago. The photo op was meant to simulate Nazis burning books.

The U.S. House of Representatives voted Thursday to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, a major voter suppression measure that, if it became law, could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters and badly undermine U.S. democracy. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA): "I'm writing to the White House to demand who knew in advance that the President was going to, once again, flip flop on tariffs. And are people cashing in? There is just all too much opportunity for people in the White House and the administration to be insider trading"

While the Trump Regime is planning to reward violent Jan 6th convicts with pay for their “service”, they rip funds for Medicaid away from our hero veterans, our children and our elderly. #MomSky

The top five egg producers own roughly half of all U.S. laying hens. The biggest of those corporations is Cal-Maine, which just announced quarterly profits of $509 million — more than 3x what it made a year ago. Corporate concentration + bird flu = a price-hiking free for all.

COVID didn't "turn out fine." Over 1 million people died in just the US. People are still dying. 100s of thousands of people are still dealing with the effects of Long COVID. And the entire country lost its shit and is still unwell. Tariffs will not "turn out fine." Effects will be experienced.

The new Supreme Court decision is a total DEFEAT of the Trump position that due process is not required or does not require a hearing before deportation. The unanimous Court says a pre-deprivation hearing IS required. That's the story, period, as the strategy was not to accord people a hearing.

“This does not just affect North Carolina,” Riggs said. “This is like dropping a match in a really dry forest. And if we let this kind of anti-democratic effort take hold, we will not be able to contain it. So this is a fight for the very soul of democracy. Today’s decision was deeply misinformed.”

This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.
