You have to see this.

PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

James Comer quietly weeping inside as he realizes the millions he’s about to lose trying to sneak this bill by Congress. Or else he’s just plain dumb. Could be the latter since he is barely familiar with the bill he’s sponsoring. Thank you @repstansbury.bsky.social

In plain English for all to understand… thank you, @repstansbury.bsky.social , we are lucky to have you in Congress. Fight!
Folks, this is a scam.

The GOP is helping Elon Musk and his friends loot the federal government and give themselves billions in federal contracts—and then wants to give them permanent tax breaks on the back end by cutting critical programs.

Let's call it what it is: a scam on the American people.

The federal government has spent $1.893 trillion in 2025 as of March 26, compared to $1.763 trillion at the same date last year.

Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, let’s steal some of their policies.

In Denmark:

- Health care and college are free.  

- The starting wage is $22/hr.

- Paid parental leave is 1 year.

- Paid vacation is 6 weeks.  

- All workers get pensions.

Trump’s changes to Social Security will slash 7,000 jobs, shut down offices, and make folks jump through hoops to get what they’ve already earned. Seniors, disabled people, and rural communities—y’all are the target. This is not efficiency, it’s straight-up cruelty.

This important read needs to be shared widely so people know who Musk really is.

Republicans have a history of taking money out of Social Security and not paying it back. We cannot allow it to happen again. We have worked too hard to lose our retirement security.
