I’m fatigued by the sheer number of people who fail to see your point. I get the appeal of the ‘big tent’ but don’t understand why Dem voters can’t see the strategic power of voting in lockstep and sorting out the nuances later. YOU GET TO MAKE ZERO POLICY IF YOU’RE NOT AT THE TABLE.

For the media, political leaders, my fellow citizens - apply the “Barack Test” as you witness the dismemberment of our democracy. What would you have said/done if Barack had done what the Trump administration is doing almost daily. Why are you quiet now?
Time to get vocal, committed and ACTIVE.

Trump's tax cuts are estimated to cost $4.5 trillion over the next decade. He claims only fraud & abuse will be cut—but the math doesn't add up. To offset the massive cost, Medicaid & the Children's Health Insurance Program face the chopping block. Ezekiel Emanuel explains the GOP's latest $ dilemma
The cost of $880 billion in Medicaid cuts
Half of all Americans have a family member or know someone who has received help from Medicaid.

DOGE is obviously Elon because it functions like Elon does. Lots of hype, lots of pain, and a whole lot of back tracking.
I know this will come as a surprise, but DOGE just deleted 136 leases it claims to have cancelled because it didn't actually cancel them.
On Its Website, DOGE Deletes More Than 100 Government Leases It Said Were Canceled
Elon Musk’s cost-cutting group dropped its total purported savings from eliminating federal office space after losing some battles within the Trump administration.

I want you to understand this is happening in our name and we know most of these men committed no crimes. One is a professional soccer player who was tortured in Venezuela and was working through asylum in the U.S. ICE shipped him for his Real Madrid tattoo and a picture throwing rock & roll horns.

Beginning March 31, people will no longer be able to verify their identity with the SSA over the phone. Those unable to verify their identity through the agency’s “my Social Security” online service will be required to visit a field office in person to complete the process.

At 5 pm Fri, the Social Security Admin announced that it will withhold the *entire* Social Security benefits of overpaid seniors & people w/disabilities, even if not their fault—reversing a Biden-era reform that limited repayment to 10% of the monthly benefit.
This will cause needless suffering.

POTUS and VPOTUS “showed the U.S.-led alliance something it needed urgently to know: The national-security system of the West is led by two men who cannot be trusted to defend America’s allies—and who deeply sympathize with the world’s most aggressive dictator.”
