KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

Social security is a set of trust funds with a balance of about $2.7 trillion as of December 2024. We are the source of these funds. It belongs to us. These funds should be protected so we can protect each other. www.ssa.gov/oact/progdat...

For the democrats saying “we can’t let the govt shut down” you’ve already lost. It’s not on you. Republicans control everything, didn’t come to you for anything except your vote. Where else can you force changes? You can’t… you’re a willing participant in Republican majority

I’m not an economist but this seems bad

LOOK AT THIS. Escaping poverty in America is nearly impossible. This is why we have to band together as working people to DEMAND fair wages! #UnionsForAll

Walz: "The idea that the secretary of education would not know what IDEA is -- individuals with disability in education act -- that's like your mechanic not knowing how to put air in your tire. And she's in charge of this nation's education progress. It is catastrophic."

Gutting the Department of Education will impact everything from internet access to school buses. Let’s not make it harder to learn.

Nothing says “party of the everyman” quite like two born-to-riches nepo baby billionaires selling $80,000+ cars on the White House lawn.

Moulton: "Trump thinks if you try to kill cops to overthrow the government and change an election, that's not domestic terrorism, but somehow having a protest in front of a Tesla dealership is? The bottom line with Trump is freedoms and liberties belong to people who agree with him, and that's it."

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

IMPORTANT: Andrei Illarionov, former senior advisor to Putin, provided a detailed timeline of how Putin started preparing to invade Ukraine in 2003, just as Ukraine was dismantling its last long-range bombers and cruise missile stockpiles. youtu.be/3wO_Jl-Tyro?...

Any surprises here?

Emergency Video: Dems are falling into GOP trap, plus all about what is happening in the Govt funding fight, and how dems can push back. This is your one chance to have some DOGE accountability, and on Ukraine. (link to full video in reply)

Hear, hear:

Thank you for this one. I needed a seriously good belly laugh!

This will hurt our local NC farmers:

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ? They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses. That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue. The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

Sad reality

If the word "women" is forbidden, then does that mean all restrooms are gender neutral?

"A renowned medical school whose faculty helped treat a young cancer survivor honored this week by President Donald Trump is facing potentially devastating funding cuts because of the White House."

Churchill said Americans will always do the right thing — after they've tried everything else. 2022: We will only provide 'defensive weapons' to Ukraine so it can't respond to Russia in its all-out war. 2025: We will withhold 'defensive weapons' from Ukraine to "save lives."

They do seem like inconsistent positions, but the attacks on teachers was really about dismantling public schools to get taxpayer dollars for home schoolers and private charter schools run by charlatans.

The only good news: After all his name changes, JD will have to present a massive folder of documents to prove who he is in order to vote.

“Voters may resent egg prices more than damage to our democratic norms. So what may preserve American democracy is not popular revulsion at the historic damage that Trump is doing but alarm at the myriad banal impacts on our daily lives because of Trumpian mismanagement.” search.app/F2W16hNv8irL...

Way to go President Musk and DJT: Well on the way to bankrupting yet another American industry.

Ukraine: Civilian death toll is now up to 11 people, 30 more injured after Russian fascists targeted apartments buildings in Dobropillya, Donetsk region. Furthermore, Russians double-tapped the area with suicide drone strikes to kill rescue workers on scene.

If only there were some government department devoted to efficiency that could stop this blatant waste of our tax dollars.

This headline should read, "Maxar confirms that the US government, under direction from RUSSIA & PUTIN, has suspended satellite imagery with Ukraine."

If only they had the ability to vote in some legislative body. But Nay, they only can be “concerned” thehill.com/homenews/sen...

This is some excellent good trouble

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did on J6

They made a homophobic, anti-mask, misogynist the face of their company and then act like victims when decent people decided not to buy their vetbro beer. The punchline: the CEO of Armed Forces Brewing never served. It’s a marketing ploy. $300K from Youngkin wasted. www.whro.org/business-gro...

DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America. Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.

Tadaa.

Senator Chris Murphy took to the Senate floor on Friday to break down the corruption flowing from the WH. He connects the dots, and makes a clear argument regarding who what where and why Shitler and Muskrat are destroying our govt!! This needs to be shared far and wide!! youtu.be/hycoCYenXls

Per @anneapplebaum.bsky.social: “One person who never talks about a cease-fire is Vladimir Putin. He does not talk about a cease-fire with his own people. He has at no time offered a cease-fire to the Ukrainians or the Americans.”

DJT, JD, Elon: You all have blood on your hands. Murderers.
