Democrats should not (must not) take Musk's money, but I want to point out how chilling it is for the president of the United States to be promising "very serious consequences" to someone if they donate to the opposition party.

Trump says Elon Musk will face 'very serious consequences' if he funds Democratic candidates

Imagine being so bad at running the country that you waste time banning the 0.2% of troops who are trans instead of fixing the economy like you promised on day one. The eggs are still HIGH, Donnie. We are headed straight for a recession. If folks want to serve, LET THEM.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.

What will you do?

About half of all births are covered by Medicaid.

Over a third of all children are covered by Medicaid.

More than half of all nursing home residents are covered by Medicaid.

Republicans in Congress are making a big mistake targeting these families’ health care to pay for tax cuts for the rich.

While some Dems like Newsom abandon trans people, these reps show the power of representation.

Watch their speech.

“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” 

You have to look no further than the pedestal of Lady Liberty to see what defines America. That’s who we are.  

This speech – and this President – is not who we are.

Eugenics in action. Nearly all these deaths will be people of color in the global south. This is the goal because Elon and co think the population of color is growing too much relative to white people. It ties into their birth rate panic.

1. Happening now, the United States Senate is considering S9, a bill that would ban transgender people from playing sports of their gender identity from chess to darts and everything in between.

It could result in genital exams and more.

When you think of Nazi Germany the good Germans that didn’t vote for Hitler aren’t the first to come up in your heads. The same goes for the US or Russia. Don’t want to be represented by evil? This is your turn to show what you would have done under Nazi rule.
