Stock market down.
Medicaid slashed
Secret police throwing anyone who looks Latino in unmarked vans.
National guard and marines deployed in LA.

Pay attention to this: Trump has set up a way he can directly take bribes from foreign governments or billionaires.

Every American needs to know about it.

So crazy. I'm so glad Jasmine goes speaks up about this. They need to post those #s that Medicaid will impact in every District/State EVERYWHERE and say they fought to save it but the Republicans were steadfast in the cuts.
The Republicans aren’t listening to anybody but Trump. They know how detrimental these cuts will be to their constituents but instead of developing a backbone, standing up to Trump, & doing what’s right—they’re too scared, too spineless, & too sold out to fight for the folks they represent.

House Republicans are trying to ram through a budget that ends Medicaid as we know it and discards the interests of children, seniors and veterans.

Shoulder to shoulder, the people say 'hell no.' Hang tough everybody.

Trump is not done attacking our elections. He and his supporters plot every day to undermine the right to vote. They are constantly looking for opportunities to exploit weaknesses in the election system. This is their top priority.

The question for us is whether it is ours as well.

The fact that everything around us is burning to the ground & some people still have no clue that they voted for the arsonist or are complicit in the arson is absolutely mind boggling.

People are ok with it so long as the black woman isn’t their President 🤯.

America, we have a problem!

Measles outbreaks are back. Grocery and gas prices are up. Bird flu is spreading. All our allies hate us. Air travel is getting unsafe. The stock market is tanking. The government is about to shut down.

And he’s only been President for six weeks. This is just the beginning.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.

Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.
