To clarify, the United States has 134 million dollars to send troops to LA to stifle dissent, but no money for food or healthcare.

Got it.

As Republicans are ripping away healthcare, reporters are being detained for reporting the news.

Why public schools? Because they’re where hope becomes real. They’re not just classrooms—they’re the foundation of a just society. Public education gives every child a fair shot.
It’s where equity, opportunity, and democracy begin.

For months, Republicans said they wouldn't touch Medicaid.

News flash - they lied.

Republican's Section 112209 is chilling attack on free speech and civil liberties. It gives the Treasury Secretary unchecked power to label nonprofits as "terrorist-supporting" and attempting to silence organizations that advocate for racial justice and human rights.

“A president should not take a $400 million gift from a foreign country.”

It is quite simple. So why are the GOP so silent?

AOC nails it: " We'll rally every corner of the United States of America until we save Medicaid and Medicare for every American until we defend social security.

And we tell them who's really in charge in this country."

ABSOLUTELY CHILLING.

All Rumeysa Ozturk did was write an op-ed.

Then six masked ICE agents abducted her off the street and made her disappear.

No warning. No due process. She's a legal resident and union member.

This is a DIRECT assault on free speech. #4The1st

WATCH Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows about why the SAVE Act and EO is both unconstitutional and deeply destabilizing to the bedrock of our democracy.

It's time to call out the GOP for what they are: a party that prioritizes power over people.

The SAVE Act is just the latest example of their attempts to silence our voices and maintain their grip on power.

Let's talk about the so-called Save Act.

Don't let the name fool you. This bill doesn't SAVE anything - this is 100% a voter suppression bill. #HandsOffHerVote

FACT: Medicaid covers nearly half of all births in the country, and around two-thirds of nursing home stays.

FACT: About 1 in 5 Americans rely on Medicare or Medicaid to cover healthcare expenses.

FACT: Republicans just passed a bill requiring DEEP cuts to these programs.

Republican politicians passed a bill to defund Medicare / Medicaid by hundreds of billions of dollars.

But don't worry - they'll keep their sweet taxpayer-funded health coverage. And GOP Sugar Daddy Elon Musk will get his tax cuts…
