Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Musk and DOGE are closing local Social Security offices, making it hard for people with disabilities to access help.
Frank Bisignano, former FISERV CEO, is Trump’s nominee for commissioner of Social Security.
He is likely to expand this.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

The main beneficiaries of the Department of Education are disabled kids (IDEA) and working-class and poor Americans (Title I, Pell Grants, work assistance), so of course Trump wants to do away with it.

Jasmine Crockett nailed it! She explains EXACTLY why MAGA is going after DEI.
" They don't want any more Kamala Harris's. They don't want any more Jasmine Crockett's. But I got news for them. I don't care what they do. We will fight to the end to make sure that we get our due."

I don’t have any Democratic representation at all. So I am calling my Republican representatives and senators every damn day.
This is their fault. This is on them. If we all call, we can show them they don’t have a fking mandate. If you have Republican representation, call them. Incessantly.
