Republicans handed Musk’s team access to Medicare & Social Security data. It's not about fraud—they want to gut benefits to fund billionaire tax cuts. I won’t stand by while they loot the country. I’m fighting to revoke Musk’s access, stop this coup, and hold everyone responsible accountable.

The House Republicans listed below are vulnerable in 2026. They will only vote to cut our benefits if they think no one is watching. If you live in these districts, or know anyone who does, CALL NOW and tell them to keep their hands off Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid!

Tell Congress: You can't cut $2.3 trillion from Medicaid without hurting children, seniors in long term care, people with disabilities, and people with low-income jobs. 😤 🗣️ Our voice matters. Call your lawmaker now at (866) 426-2631 and tell them: NO CUTS TO OUR HEALTH CARE. #HandsOffMedicaid ✊

Oligarchs like Elon Musk know politics is about power. They also know that unions build the kind of real democratic power—for all of us, not just union members—that keeps oligarchs in check. Will we reclaim that power? www.weekendreading.net/p/oligarchs-...

So the billionaire president’s multi-billionaire sugar daddy had his feelings hurt by the head of the FAA, so the billionaire president fired the head of the FAA — now there’s no one in charge of airline safety, and we have our first commercial airline crash in 16 years? Got it.

Trump wants to distract you from the fact that he gutted the Aviation Safety Committee and ousted the FAA administrator last week. Don’t let him.

I love that a white guy was flying the plane, a white guy was flying the helicopter, and a white guy gutted the FAA last week but somehow the blame is too much diversity.
