Since Trump’s MAGA majority has controlled the Supreme Court, SCOTUS has overturned 42 years of precedent deferring to agencies 50 years backing a women’s reproductive rights 60 years of affirmative action And-likely-a 90 year old case shielding the FTC It’s the most radical Court in US history

Don’t take medical advice from the President. And vote out every single Senator who is responsible for RFK Jr. leading our Department of Health.

Over 800,000 job cuts have been announced this year—the most since the pandemic. Businesses are pulling back on hiring as Trump’s chaotic tariff policies and attacks on the Fed fuel economic uncertainty. Our economy should be moving forward. Under Trump, it's going backward.

People have been glossing over this statement by Brendan Carr He’s not satisfied with forcing Jimmy Kimmel out He’s going after anyone who criticizes Dear Leader

The clumsy corruption crew is as busy as ever. ✔️ unsurprising corrupt conduct, just like their Don Felon boss ✔️ Denials & of course blame the "Deep State" and immigrants somehow. ✔️ "Nothing to see here, move along" method of shutting it down

Trump is all illusion and spectacle. The L.A. protests and non-existent “riots” spanned only a few blocks in Los Angeles. Pierce the veil. Expose the nonsense. Cities Trump is attacking are doing just fine. Reject the propaganda. Thank you comedian Josh Johnson m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ea0A...

If you have college students living in dorms, please schedule vaccine boosters for them. They can receive them at their college health services or with family doctor when on winter break. COVID, flu, meningitis are highly recommended. www.acha.org/resource/imm...

Didn’t we learn what a rotten idea it is to take medical advice from this goon in 2020? Remember the couple who died after ingesting aquarium cleaner?

Trump spews lies, as if we expect anything more, to justify war, claiming Venezuela sent "insane asylum prisoners" here. ZERO evidence. Venezuelans came fleeing persecution, dictatorship, and economic collapse, seeking safety and dignity. Fascism scapegoats the vulnerable, and Trump is feeding it.

Along w contacting an MOC abt issues, reaching out to their donors is another, sometimes more effective, way to get their attention. "You have immense power to influence the behavior of politicians. Using that power begins by recognizing that even the best politicians answer to whoever pays them."

The labor market is frozen. Young people can’t find jobs. Layoffs are accelerating. Why? Because Trump has plunged the economy into uncertainty with tariffs and nonstop chaos. And Republicans are doing nothing to rein in his recklessness.

Oh, SMACK. Alex Padilla nails it! 📣 If they were going after "law-breakers," they wouldn't be stalking immigrants who are dutifully following the legal process. If they were going after people for not paying their way, they wouldn't be hunting down taxpayers!

Youngkin’s voter purge is back; a coward’s move to gut democracy because he knows our voices are stronger. But starting TODAY, we fight back. Early voting is here, and we will not be silenced. We’ll show up, vote, and drown out their corruption with our ballots. #VoteVA

🧵 Green card holder Paramjit Singh has lived in the U.S. for more than 30 years, built a business in Fort Wayne, raised a family, and followed the law. Yet ICE and DHS are caging him like a criminal over a 25-year-old infraction: using a payphone without inserting 35 cents.

Stephen Colbert has no f*cks left to give, apparently. Awesome way to raise his voice & call the BS for what it is. 😄😄

Colbert was silenced first, now Kimmel. Trump’s regime is weaponizing the FCC, and corporate media is bowing to threats. If we don’t fight back now, tomorrow it’s every journalist, artist, and activist. Shout louder: www.digitaldrumbeat.com/p/shout-loud...
