The felon and Elon are trying to make smaller government and less federal oversight by eliminating jobs. The promise to make jobs: by removing millions of people from the country? By unemployment of employed federal employees? By telling companies to open factories & avoid tariffs.

There is something ridiculous about Trump complaining about Federal "spending waste" and cutting programs and whole offices, the fundraising during the Super Bowl.

I cannot afford to support all the Democrat candidates running for midterm vacancies in this country. But they will be the ones to put a stop to the Republicans' strangle hold on our government. Stock the steal!

When there is a Lady's Night at the club, I never hear a bunch of dudes complaining that it is exclusionary to men. But when a venue announces that they are hosting a Pride Event all the straight people act like it is discrimination against them. 🙄

What a difference 5 minutes of your time can make... #powertothepeople #socialwork #SWTech #advocacy #fightsmart
Okay, I cannot recommend 5calls.org enough. Enter your address and it will find all your reps (federal and state). AND give you a list of issues to call about AND which reps to call about each of them AND a little script for each, in case it's helpful. They have an app, too.
5 Calls
Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

RFK Jr. sat in front of that dias and lied through his teeth. He was asked very straight forward serious questions and evaded answering any of them.
Warren: "He can stand there, smile at you and say, 'anybody can vaccinate their kids who wants to,' but he literally could bankrupt the vaccines manufacturers with the power he will have. And since he's got a financial incentive to do that, we cannot trust him in that job."
