Hey Democratic leadership. Here is the message, and it's the ONLY message. Full stop.
Are you telling me we can spend $40B on Argentina, $1B on Trump's Qatar jet, $250M on Trump's ballroom, $150M on Trump's golf, $520M on Trump's National Guard deployments & $172M on Kristi Noem's jets - but we can't spend a penny on lowering our healthcare premiums. Oh, hell no.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Two of Epstein’s victims wrote letters—and they didn’t mince words about the Trump administration shielding Trump while not giving a damn about “transparency” or the victims.

📌 So of course, right on cue, Pam Bondi ordered the DOJ to launch an investigation into President Obama.

when Biden was president and the economy was good, it was Trump's economy. But now that Trump is president and the economy is bad, it's Biden's economy 🙃

If they say yes, calmly walk away.If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don't sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present.If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you'll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney-no matter your citizenship or immigration status.”Know Your Rights.

Elon wants apartheid America. So does Trump. And second class citizens-the disenfranchised and persecuted-in the society they’re engineering will not just be people of color, but women, all who disagree with them and all who aren’t rich. They want authoritarian, oligarchic, apartheid.

Trump launched military strikes against Yemen's Houthis over their attacks on Red Sea shipping. Trump gave advance notice to our 'ally’ Russia. “To improve ties with Russia, Marco Rubio spoke with the Russian Foreign Minister to inform him about the strikes in Yemen”.

🪦 New Yorkers are in front of the New York Stock Exchange for a mass die-in to symbolize how these devastating cuts will destroy families & take lives.

Deep spending cuts to programs like healthcare, food assistance, and education is a matter of life & death for millions.

The logical interpretation of this is that Trump and Hegseth want to limit recruitment and retention of everyone except for straight white male troops. The question then would be: why? www.military.com/daily-news/2...
Army Deleting Online Content Related to Women, Minorities Using Key Words Like 'Respect' and 'Dignity'
The deletion of photos, video and other content is part of an order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that all the military services eliminate online material not allowed by the Trump administration.
