Citizens United has drowned democracy in corporate money, giving the rich more power than voters. It’s time to act—we need to gather the needed # of signatures to begin the Initiative Process to overturn this disaster and restore fair elections!

Rep. Lance Gooden ripped a “This is NOT Normal” sign out of Rep. Melanie Stansbury’s hand—on live TV, right before Trump’s speech. When they have to silence you by force, they’ve already proven your point.

A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping with major retailers tomorrow, February 28, as part of an “economic blackout.”

I encourage you to join. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/boycott

This is the disgusting person Trump wanted released to the United States despite his heinous human trafficking charges. Listen to him describe how he’d grab women by the neck.

MAGA can officially shut the fuck up about the Epstein files.

The heartbreak.

Trump claims USAID is bankrupting America—it’s less than 1% of the budget. Meanwhile, the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, is gutting the largest food aid provider. He could end world hunger & still be the richest man alive. But he won’t.

Not just greed. We’re watching evil at work.

You maybe think corporate treason is delulu. How about corporate manslaughter? Just because America has never bothered to do it doesn’t mean we can’t.

The Trump Administration’s stated policy goals include the firing of no fewer than 60,000 veterans from government positions. Apparently, that plan included veterans who work not just for the VA, but the Veterans Crisis Line.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26.

Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency.

It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

Dems need to be collecting ALL of these stories about the Impact of the Trump attack on the federal government. They need to be collected in a central location that is highly publicized so that the information may be utilized to mobilize people in opposition.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Russia needs its war in Ukraine to end: their economy is collapsing, they're in need of soldiers for their meat grinder in Ukraine after North Koreans bailed, and every inch of land they steal is costly. Putin wants to invade Ukraine the cheap way: steal the election, install a puppet like in the US
These are talking points straight from the Kremlin.

It is clear that Trump’s plan to “end the war” is to remove Zelenskyy, replace him with a Putin stooge, and then let Putin take over Ukraine.

Trump's plan to cut the corporate tax rate down to 15% would give Fortune 100 companies, which reported $1.1 trillion in profits last year, an annual tax cut of $48 billion.

Citizens United empowers corrupt politicians like Trump to put corporate profits above all else.

Trump's latest executive order puts independent agencies — including the FTC, SEC, and NLRB — under his direct control.

It's a blatant attempt to shield his corporate donors and his own business from agencies that hold the powerful accountable.

This is an alarming power-grab.
