Cutting 30,000 jobs at the VA, which will put veterans' services at risk.

Firing federal workers across government, many of whom are veterans.

Gutting SNAP & Medicaid, which millions of veterans need.

Our vets defended us, and this is how the Trump regime is repaying them?

Let's remember those who fought for democracy here and abroad and give thanks to all... Senator Tammy Duckworth served our country and continues to! @duckworth.senate.gov has been a great representative for the state of Illinois and our veterans.

The U.S. military is being used inside the United States. There's a lot we don't know about how, why, and under what authorities.

Are you one of the many people impacted by the MAGA NAZI Republicans stopping your SNAP benefits?

Do you need a hand up?

Many do and no one should ever feel bad about needing the help, especially if you have kids.

Here's a link to make it easier.

80% of Democratic voters want a new leader in the Senate.

Does that matter at all to Democratic senators?

Every educated adult in the U.S. knows this but the senate shouldn't exist. There is no justification for North Dakota and South Dakota to have four senators between them when the combined population of both states is smaller than that of Chicago.

We’re not going to “fix the Democrats’ brand” by doing TikToks or launching pods. The brand is a direct reflection of our elected officials. If we want to purge our weak branding, we have to purge the weak Dems. I’m looking forward to a robust primary cycle and new Democrats who know how to fight.

I think a lot of the anger this morning stems from a feeling that we did our part, but they did not do theirs. This is an oversimplification, but my dudes, no wonder people are like, “OK, let’s try the democratic socialist, then.”

Agree.

Sen Hassan, asked what will happen if Republicans don't carry out the deal, "Well, shame on them."

This is not what people were mobilizing for on Oct 18.

I’ve been going without pay for 7 weeks for nothing. This feels like a slap in the face from someone who was supposed to represent me. They used federal workers as pawns and then couldn’t even stick to the leverage that was supposed to gain them? No discipline in these electeds. Primary them all.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Trump‘s brilliant plan of 50 year mortgages means that after your first 20 years making huge interest payments to a bank you will have paid down almost none of the principal and they will still own the house you are living in with 30 years to go. A scam from a career con man.
