Rep Sarah McBride stood on the Capitol steps with Rep Jeffries & Sen Booker, calling out the GOP’s cruel plan to gut Medicaid—the biggest cut in American history. Millions could lose care. The House vote is coming fast. The people must rise. CALL your reps now to stop this assault. (Link in thread)

They can come into your home & if you fight them they will charge you for obstructing justice. No warrant is needed, they can just go in if they feel like it.

The gestapo are here people.

Are you gonna wait in at home waiting to be taken next?

Intuit donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. He's now planning to end the free IRS Direct File program.

Apple donated $1M. Trump exempted most of Apple’s imports from tariffs.

Coinbase donated $1M. Trump’s SEC dropped a major lawsuit against them.

See how this works?

Trump will reportedly end the IRS Direct File program that allowed taxpayers to file taxes for free.

This comes after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government for years to block IRS free file.

Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.

See how this works?

Once a regime starts to send people to concentration camps — including those in El Salvador — it creates a system of detention that eschews due process and disappears citizens into black holes.

If the new tariffs stay in place for multiple years, and are enforced and inflationary, and DOGE continues to cut and fire , we will be in a far worse situation than 2008
Hey, Mark. Assume Trump doesn't "cut deals" to reduce tariffs, and they just go into effect, as-is, if not even worse. What's the worst-case outcome. Would we face a recession comparable to 2008? Worse? As bad as the 2020 pandemic recession? Worse?

In case it wasn't already obvious, Israel is done pretending that they aren't colonizing the entirety of Palestine:

“Instead of hiding and apologizing, we are raising the flag, building and settling. This is another important step on the way to de facto [Israeli] sovereignty in [the West Bank].”
Security cabinet designates 13 existing West Bank settlement neighborhoods as independent settlements, with their own councils, eased funding
