This death and sadly many more to come are on the hands of anti-vax conspiracy pushers, including officials like RFK Jr. and irresponsible podcasters like Joe Rogan who spread misinformation and conspiracies. These are PREVENTABLE deaths.

Dems stop calling out your representatives for fighting in their own way and not your preferred way. We have to understand that everyone has their own strengths. Some have catchy sound bites, some work behind the scenes, some excel at social media- some are law experts -stop with the infighting!!!

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.
If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

The House Republican budget confirms what we've long known to be true – they are stealing your taxpayer dollars to reward billionaires and corporations.
Their budget takes healthcare away from millions of Americans while folks like Elon Musk get new tax breaks worth hundreds of billions of dollars.

Rumors are swirling that you’re spending $40 million on Super Bowl ads targeting USAID. If there were truly fraud, wouldn’t you not need to spend millions trying to convince people?

New reporting indicates that Elon Musk has assembled a team of six young men, ages 19 to 24, to infiltrate and gut government agencies like USAID.
It's outrageous, it's unacceptable, and it proves beyond doubt that no expertise or analysis has gone into these unlawful actions.

The ongoing effort to encourage federal workers to quit their jobs is a scam.
To our civil servants – this country needs you now. Donald Trump and Elon Musk cannot be trusted. Look at how they've treated their past employees.
Please think twice before you accept their offer.

Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.
