Simple messaging I recommend you share and text friends, family, and neighbors.

These are the lines Democrats need to be using.

Trump went for a Covid shot and then set the CDC on fire.

If that ain’t that asshole in a nutshell.

So the Dems need to be clear again that any FMer carrying out direction to implement mil paychecks in the absence of appropriations will be subject to anti-deficiency act criminal penalties, because to be clear even with the reconciliation slush fund BS there is no way to legally so this, period

"Why aren't the Free Palestine people cheering about the ceasefire?"

If you saw a man beating a child into a coma, would you cheer after the beating stopped? No, your first reaction would be horror at what happened and your second would be fear that he'll attack the kid again.

Republicans declare themselves patriots, then turn around and block the paychecks of the men and women who defend America.

And what’s really wild, some of those same troops keep voting red while getting screwed over again and again.

BIG NEWS: @gavinnewsom.bsky.social signed my bill (SB 41) to end abuses by pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) — behemoth corporate drug middlemen that increase the cost of Rx drugs & destroy local pharmacies to favor their own mail order pharmacies.

Huge win to lower drug costs & benefit consumers.

Let's be clear on who Christopher Columbus was, a conquerer who spread disease & slavery who was so sadistic in the ways he treated natives he appalled the architects of the Spanish Inquisition. That's the fact of him there is to reclaim.

So long Diane Keaton. One of the greatest actors of all time that simply lit up the screen with her charisma alone.

The time we met Annie Hall, and a fashion icon was born.

Congratulations! By next year, you’ll be facing higher prices for milk and eggs. Tragically, your girlfriend passed away from sepsis, and you’ve been drafted.

More than half of ALL government shut down days in the history of America have come under just one president.

Simply put, the man is a terrible leader.

I can't get over how the CDC layoffs are coming less than two months after the attempted mass shooting. The agency is being taken apart brick by brick. The public servants there do not deserve this.

One of the most satisfying things you can do as a human being is look at someone who's telling you what to do and go "Who's this asshole?" There are worse things to base a political philosophy on!

At least we no longer have to hear about freedom being in Americans' DNA or whatever. Turns out we love to eat shit and bow to some bloated halfwit like any other people throughout history

They have fired the staff of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, who are disease detectives that respond to outbreaks around the world.

I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.
