While Trump & Musk DOGE cut the federal workforce and federal contracts leaving THOUSANDS of Americans UNEMPLOYED, Elon Musk & his family are flying for FREE on Air Force.

Socialism is what they called public power. 

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Trump claimed the Biden administration spent $8 million "making mice transgender." The White House tried to back up this number with records of funding for research into cancer, asthma, and HIV, some of which used *transgenic* (genetically modified) mice.
Trump Decried Millions Spent 'Making Mice Transgender.' It Was Cancer and Asthma Research
President Trump falsely claimed that Biden spent $8 million on 'making mice transgender,' but the real research was for human health.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 30, the number is 100%.

Stay undecided on banning Al Green. He's the only Dem with a backbone that night.

He’s doing it for free? Nope. Follow the money and see where it goes.

Elon Musk is spearheading the overhaul of the $42 billion broadband program—directly benefiting himself and Starlink.

@jbpritzker.bsky.social I live in IN and am not a fan of Mike Braun or his BS about taking rural parts of IL. I'm stuck here for my daughters residential school placement due to severe autism. If Trump ends IDEA or FAPE I will be moving to IL. You sir are one of the only Dems leading us!
March 5, 2025 at 5:26 PM
@calltoactivism.bsky.social I am down for activism as I believe a lot of us are but, we need leadership not these soft ass Dems. Take some of the younger Dem senators lead and publicly tell them to fuck off!

@repjasmine.bsky.social I ❤️ your professionalism and calling out republicans. Is there anything you can do to get Shumer, Pelosi and whoever it was that was sleeping next to Pelosi to grow a backbone PUBLICLY. Fuck decorum, the right did.

@aoc.bsky.social whether you like it or not, Dems portrayed as weak last night. Except, Al Green. Why aren't you all on the same page? If you want us to follow your lead for God's sake lead. Trump's public approach is right out of pro wrestling.
