If you are upset about what's going on but aren't sure what to do: start by calling your reps. This app 👇 makes it easy.
Standing up to authority is a muscle. If you haven't had to exercise it before, this is a great first step. I promise DOING one thing will make you feel better & more capable.

Okay, I cannot recommend 5calls.org enough. Enter your address and it will find all your reps (federal and state). AND give you a list of issues to call about AND which reps to call about each of them AND a little script for each, in case it's helpful. They have an app, too.
5 Calls
Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.
What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Great job explaining why the economy could contract
Trade data from this morning has driven a huge drop in the Atlanta Fed GDPNow real-time tracker for Q1 GDP. Today's data took it from 2.321% to -1.477%. What's going on? Let's do a little thread explaining.

Elon updated DOGE, claiming to have fixed the mistakes we all pointed out. But instead of correcting them, he just added more false claims. He even inflated his so-called “savings” total from $55 billion to $65 billion, when in reality, the actual increase is only from $2 billion to $2.3 billion.

I’ve lost track of how many times they’ve broken something and then gamely tried to at least pretend to glue it back together.

Kinda like when I say I have to pay my bills- I don’t just mean the mortgage. It’s all the bills that help the house run- electric, water, sewer, trash, food, phone, wifi, etc.
"I’m not sure which is worse: the fact that Republicans are moving to gut the last lifeline for 72 million Americans who rely on Medicaid and 43 million Americans who rely on Food Stamps or the fact that they’re lying about doing it."
