I just went to a protest at Sen McCormick’s office. Afterwards, I got to speak with 2 of his staffers and tell them my family’s story. I also asked them, “What is the argument against subsidies?” Their answer “$3 trillion deficit” I countered, “You can’t improve GDP by cutting workers’ support.”

the one question to ask any politician or reporter who claims the 8 Senate Ds went rogue to capitulate to Trump:
If Schumer opposed the deal, why did Schumer's whip vote for it?

Trump sent $40 Billion to Argentina to bail out Hedge Fund Master of the Universe, Rob Citrone, who is best buds with Treasury Sect Scott Bessent. It is unlikely any of the dough will actually spend more than a fortnight in Argentina before getting into Citrone's fund...
They found billions for foreign deals but not for your healthcare.
Hold them accountable. Flood the lines!

The White House knows it tried to steal an election and stage a coup in Jan. 2021 with their help. Now it wants to bury the evidence beneath pardons. State AGs, you know what you need to do.

Eight Democratic Senators (+ Quisling Schumer behind the curtains) did not "fold". They collaborated with the Nazi GOP to steal healthcare from 15 million Americans & starve poor folks surviving on SNAP. Not to mention further funding the ICE Gestapo. That is not folding, that is selling your soul.

The myopia of American political discourse is perhaps never more evident than in a discussion of "fraud & abuse" in programs like SNAP & Medicaid. But, nary a word about the "fraud & abuse" of DC's sacred cow, the Defense Department, which pisses away $ tens of billions in waste & fraud every year.

Weeks BEFORE Elon Musk brought up supposed “dead people” on Social Security rolls on Twitter, DOGE staff were repeatedly told that the appearance of deceased was a tech quirk; SSA knew they weren’t getting benefits. Of course, these facts didn’t deter Elon from falsely claiming widespread fraud.
