Republicans have been ordered by their billionaire Puppet Master to end Medicare as we know it.
Democrats have 215 members in the House who can stop this extreme effort.
All we need is three House Republicans to join us.

This isn’t DEI—it’s deadly short staffing.
NEW: An FAA report says one air traffic controller was working two positions during the crash. “The position configuration was not normal for the time of day and volume of traffic.”
Lives are at stake, and they know it.

The amount of people who have no idea how the 3 branches of government work blaming Biden for not doing shit a president doesn’t have the power to do because you’d need more votes in the senate than he ever had is absurd. Seriously so many people don’t know shit about civics and it shows.

Tulsi Gabbard could not tell the Senate what her job as the leader of national intelligence entails.
Gabbard who is known for spouting Russian propaganda and backing Al-Assad in Syria said she would figure out how to meet thresholds when she got there.

Pete Hegseth thinks that standards are being lowered in the military “for DEI reasons” when they’re not… but has no problem asking the Senate to lower the standards for Secretary of Defense so he can get confirmed.
