Since the end of the Cold War, democrats have created 50M jobs and republicans have created 1M.
The Republican propaganda that Trump “inherited” a bad economy from Biden and is making it better is the exact opposite of true. The numbers don’t lie and people know what they are experiencing.

The last thing our veterans need is FEWER people making sure they get the health care they need.

This is a grossly short-sighted decision by Secretary Collins. We need answers and accountability.
VA plans to abruptly eliminate tens of thousands of health care jobs
Strains on the Veterans Affairs system could grow with the elimination of as many as 35,000 mostly unfilled health care positions, including doctors and nurses.

Here's what happened on the Senate floor today: Republicans voted to kill our bill to save the ACA tax credits—this was our last chance.

Then they held a sham vote on a GOP bill that does NOTHING to lower health care premiums.

Make sure everyone knows it.

BREAKING: All House Democrats have signed our discharge petition to extend the ACA tax credits.

That makes 214.

We can protect health care and lower costs — if only 4 Republicans will join us.

Republicans wanting to talk about fixing health care premium increases a month into open enrollment, when prices are all but locked in, is about as serious as being concerned about RFK Jr.'s anti-vax crusade AFTER voting to make him the nation's top public health official.

"The first mistake was for 77M voters to re-elect a man as dangerously unfit…as Trump, one who was immunized and unleashed by John Roberts’ SCOTUS. But the second and related mistake was for a GOP Senate to confirm a dangerous collection of incompetents"

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

This is the video that made Trump so angry he called for these Democratic lawmakers to be executed

The video urges U.S. military service members to disobey unlawful orders from on high.

Now because of Trump's tirade, even more people will watch it.

And if you've previously picked a side, you don't have to stay there. Whatever you may have thought Trump was, he's proven his unfit. Let's be pro-democracy now. We can go back to party politics when we get through this.

“Short bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, said [Whitney Hu, a community activist and organizer with South Brooklyn Mutual Aid], ‘you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.’”
As ICE Street Raids Ramp Up, New Yorkers Stock Up On Whistles
Taking a cue from Chicago, community groups have distributed thousands of whistles in recent weeks — a grassroots system people in other cities have adopted to help neighbors sound the alarm.

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

Jeffries vs Chuck Schumer CR infighting 👀

If even Jeffries is demanding that we hold the line for ACA & more, it shows how out of touch Schumer (primary 2028) & other Sen Dems are on this.

If establishment Senators fold, they are betraying the American people

Following up on this. This remains a ‘cave is minutes or hours away’ situation. If you want to impact how this plays out you need to contact senators literally now. I want to add additional points of context. What I’m relaying is what I’ve picked up from highly reliable sources.
