Attention @votevets.org @skylee1.bsky.social

Just an FYI: Medicaid fraud is rarely perpetrated by beneficiaries. The fraudsters are almost always the doctors and CEO's that administer Medicaid. For example: when a doctor charges the government $600 for an $8 breast pump and pockets the cash and the third party administrator takes a cut.

Seriously mind boggling the alternate reality that has been created by right wing media and right wing politicians to coddle the felon. Future people will, hopefully, be bewildered by how insane this really is. CROCKETT: Who is going to admit that Russia invaded Ukraine? Crickets...

Do you remember that time when Republicans told us Biden was a puppet for billionaires? In all that time, I never saw either Bill Gates or George Soros hold a cabinet meeting. Weird.

Undocumented immigrants paid about $26 billion per year into Social Security, even though they will get nothing out of it. They subsidize citizens to an extraordinary degree. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/13/b...

Elon lied. Funding for Ebola and PEPFAR have not resumed. Please share widely.

We stop this now, or we become like Russia. Plain as day.

There’s a recorded measles related death of a young child in red state Texas. MAGA Chaos agent anti-vax fraudster RFK Jr lied by saying it’s not unusual and measles outbreaks happen all the time. There hasn’t been a Measles death in the US in a decade. They want to kill us all.

You are being oppressed and its time to push back against your oppressors…

If you have scripture on your tongue and hate on your agenda, kindly shut up and take a damn seat. You are what is wrong with this country right now.

You first.

This man is barely even a formal government employee, let alone elected or Senate-confirmed. A total failure of the Constitutional order, just broadcast & normalized by every major media outlet.

We are the richest country in the history of this planet, with the most powerful military on earth and we have a $30 TRILLION dollar economy.. We do not need to profit from war.. The goal is Ukrainian sovereignty, pre 2014 borders and every hostile Russian out of Ukraine.. THAT is our profit..🇺🇦

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

The Elon Musk backed pro-Russian candidate in Romania, Calin Georgescu has been arrested. Authorities raided him like the crook he is and found at least $10 million in cash and tickets to Moscow. He may have also bumped his head a little bit too.

Phil Sussman, an Army vet who worked for USAID, feels "absolutely betrayed" after receiving a termination letter.   "This isn't a meme. This isn't a tweet. This is myself and my wife and my three children who don't know how we're gonna pay the mortgage next month." www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

Hiding from the public sounds like a great 2026 re-election strategy for Republicans DEMAND A TOWN HALL FROM YOUR GOP CONGRESSMAN

DISGUSTING. Elon’s “savings” come off the backs of service-connected disabled Veteran small business owners—89% of his cuts come from canceling their contracts. Stealing from those who sacrificed for this country? It doesn’t get lower than this. MORE: www.washingtontechnology.com/contracts/20...

Republicans are proposing a budget to exploit your labor, take your tax dollars, and gut your earned benefits — all to bankroll tax cuts for their billionaire donors. And they have the audacity to call it “fiscal responsibility.” Voted NO.

🎯

This, this, a thousand times this.

RIP Washington Post

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.

“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.”

Some sound advice:

Simply so.

Trump hides his tax returns but wants to give your tax information to Elon Musk, don’t let him.

Actual still from this grotesque video depicting the supposed paradise that trump will transform Gaza into. Belly dancers with beards.

I think it’s going to be very difficult for the House and Senate to reconcile this budget, but trying to force the House Energy and Commerce committee to cut 880 billion is going to kill people. Anyone who says Medicaid won’t be impacted is lying.

Mike Johnson the fake Christian at CPAC praying to cut taxes for the wealthy and Medicaid for the poor.

MAGA influencers are out in full force tonight, making up things that were not in this resolution. Congrats on getting your $4.5 trillion in tax cuts for the wealthy, $19 trillion in added deficit spending, and $880 billion in Medicaid cuts through this initial step, though.

Tesla isn’t going to survive. Sales are down nearly 50% in Europe. Keep the boycott going. Your protests are working. #3E #endoligarchy #boycotttesla

"Experts cannot recall a precedent for the United States, or any other country, extracting cash or resources from its own allies during a time of war" www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/w...

The DC press turns every story into a win or loss for the president. That's particularly nuts on a night like tonight when the House just voted to take food from millions of kids.

Trump’s new acting CFPB director in charge of reigning in predatory financial institutions is literally promoting a predatory payday lender. Because something something working class champions.

President Zelenskyy has more courage, principle and honor in his right pinky than Trump has displayed in his whole, vile lifetime.

Our former European allies are now in Ukraine, united in their support for the valiant democracy We have long stood with our allies for what is right. Now, disgraceful pro Putin criminal occupying our WH is aligned with murderous dictator Putin while attempting to extort 50% of Ukraines wealth

Your regular reminder that the US air & water pollution laws passed in the 60s & 70s -- and the elaborate federal bureaucracy created to administer them -- constitute one of the most successful gov't interventions in history. WILDLY successful. The envy of the world.
