What have Trump and the GOP done with America's tax dollars since January?

➡️ Raised the cost of living
➡️ Harassed people Trump doesn't like
➡️ Crippled the intelligence apparatus
➡️ Pushed junk science
➡️ Subverted free elections
➡️ Made America a pariah in the free world

The GOP could never prove Dominion was rigging elections so they've decided to make sure.

Yup.

The press has been as short-sighted as most of the rest of the country, fiddling while Rome burned.

Mainstream media has done more than its share of the work in preserving the freedom to lie.

Rep. Steven Woodrow @woodrowforco.bsky.social · 2d

Either way, our political press can’t be bothered with context or prior statements. Unless they’re going after Democrats—then they suddenly rediscover investigative journalism.

Yup. If we have learned anything from Trump, it's that Congressional Republicans can be squeezed.

Yup. The "moderates" take turns pretending to have minds of their own. It's nothing but desperate posturing intended to help them keep their seats.

Donald Frederikovich @dfmdt.bsky.social · 3d

I agree. In the long run we will be better. It's largely a question of how bad Americans are willing to let things get in the meanwhile.

If this is where we are, 390 days before Election Day in 2026, it is highly unlikely that the election will be fair.

Millions and millions of Dem votes will be thrown out as fake or fraudulent.

The GOP will win in a landslide.

We will be living in a Nazi country.

Our democracy will be gone…

Health insurance premiums: Up
Cost of health care: Up
Health insurance benefits: Down
Quality of health care: Down

The knock-on effect of all this Trump/GOP lunacy will be to cripple the health care industry itself.

Availability of health care: Down

Just Say Jan! @justsayjan.bsky.social · 3d

The largest healthcare cuts in federal history: $1.1 trillion was cut through HR 1, the one known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

Thanks a lot, GOP.

Brace for the largest-ever spike in health insurance premiums

The GOP's backdoor plan to gut Obamacare: Kill the tax credits.

The insurance crisis in the U.S. is the canary in the coal mine, and the canary is dead.

Meanwhile, Trump and the GOP have crippled the renewable energy sector in the US & doubled down on fossil fuel. Is this really the world we are going to pass along to our children?

Remember 2017, when our flood of phone calls stopped the repeal of the ACA? Let's do that again.

@indivisible.org has scripts for calling Dem and GOP senators about extending ACA subsidies and reopening the government.

Set a calendar reminder to call every day that the shutdown is taking place.
