Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.
I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.
Remind you of anyone?

This will empower Elon to privatize VA by breaking it first.
These layoffs are going to mean longer processing times for disability claims & longer wait times for veterans to see a doctor.
They may also seriously threaten patient safety or lead to VA closures. apnews.com/article/vete...

Unsurprisingly Trump isn't living in reality. Trump has plunged our economy into a crisis entirely of his own making with tariffs that will unquestionably increase prices DRASTICALLY.
Trump's tariffs are Trump TAXES on consumers.

Elon fired another 1,400 workers at VA who help veterans get health care & benefits—with ZERO justification.
Many of those fired were veterans THEMSELVES. Given how thoughtless these layoffs have been, I am deeply alarmed about delays in veteran care & threats to patient safety.

Dear @cnn.com,
The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense.
This is a growing national security risk.

If Republicans really wanted to cut costs for families, then they wouldn’t slash the funds we use to educate and feed our kids, cut access to health care coverage, allow oil companies to pollute our air and water, and shovel even more money to defense contractors.
