Musk & Trump promised that DOGE would save AT LEST $1 trillion, with the former saying that $2t in a year wasn't out of the question. 10 months into Trump's 2nd term & they've saved... ** checks notes ** Negative $1 trillion.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

Trump's "justice" dept. charged a guy for throwing a sandwich at an ICE agent wearing a bulletproof vest. Trump pardoned violent rioters who assaulted, beat, and badly injured Capital police on January 6. The sandwich guy won today. 🥪 That ICE agent will never not fear two slices of bread again.

As a Democrat, I wholly agree with this statement by the late Republican President. But the fact is, the current Republican Congress cringe over this philosophy, having slid so far to the right that I bet neither Reagan nor Lincoln would be part of the Republican Party.

40 million Americans may go hungry in November because their SNAP funding is at risk. 40 million people at a time when most are already struggling to put food on the table. Trump just gave 40 billion to Argentina. That could feed every American. That could easily fund SNAP. America first?

It no longer serves any purpose to talk about the Supreme Court and the Trumpublicans shredding the Constitution. We're beyond that. Democrats need to talk about restoring government BY THE PEOPLE. We have to look forward to a new compact between our representatives, justice system, and citizens.

Day 2 of the Republican shutdown. Your regular reminders: 1. GOP controls government. They control what bills get voted on and the vote thresholds for each bill. Senate GOP can pass their bad funding bill today if they felt like it. 2. Dems are fighting to lower costs and save healthcare.

If the gov't shuts down this week the Dems need to GO BIG on the message that the Republicans are blackmailing them into taking away Americans' healthcare. Flood the zone with that! Short, to the point! Don't waste breath explaining it, just Republicans are taking away Americans' healthcare.

Colbert asked Newsom how MAGA was going to cancel the 2028 election. They create complete chaos in 2026 so they can claim any result suspect and invalid. Trump declares Congress will remain as-is until next elections. Next elections are cancelled due to impending violence; Trump stays in office.
