Ramaswamy & Musk under their DOGE scam want to CUT Veterans benefits
Veterans benefits under discretionary spending are NOT fraud waste & abuse
It's the okie doke because House Republicans stalled 2025 budget approval
HOLD Congress accountable to fund Veterans benefits

The Immigrant Pantry: Weekly Update
This weekend we got to work making sure as many people as possible were
able to start their week with full pantries and a little more peace of mind.
Dozens of volunteers spent their weekend packing boxes, loading cars, and
delivering food across Memphis.

What do you think about children being detained by Trump in facilities where they have to fight for clean drinking water?
Where the water is cloudy, smells & upsets stomachs & the soap for showers causes rashes & they have to sleep on concrete floors?

“You don’t just flip a switch…” —Mike Johnson
It took them less than six months to pass a budget bill that gave billionaires permanent tax breaks and stripped away nearly $1T in Medicaid from Americans and ACA susbsidies.
Also notable — Trump starting issuing tariffs 10 days after being sworn in.

Mike Johnson: "That's the reason the inflation is up, the cost of living is up so high -- because of the policies of the previous administration. Now, we're working to root those policies out and implement our own, but it takes a little time."

The work of democracy is never over. We need to keep pressing. And as the current shutdown moment shows, pushing for one side to “win” isn’t enough; we have to push, together, through both the high points and the setbacks, for what matters.

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.
Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.

What a bunch of bullshit — voting to reopen the government based on a ‘promise’ to talk about the ACA at a later date? Unbelievable. Does anyone really think we can trust Republicans to operate in good faith? They don’t care about us & you can’t trust a word they say. Infuriating and embarrassing.

What are the odds that Speaker Johnson calls the House back for a CR vote with the Epstein files still hanging over his head?
Those 8 Dems might have hung themselves out to dry and risked being primaried for nothing.

Trump had a lavish party with opera and truffles this weekend. It was a night of decadence and scantily clad women for the billionaire elite.
