Trump outsourced 200,000 factory jobs in his first term alone. “I believed it. I thought he was going to save some jobs. He pulled the wool right over our eyes and he’s still doing it till this day,” said a worker whose job was sent to Mexico. www.currentaffairs.org/news/maga-le...
“MAGA Lefty” Is Not A Thing
Trump did not “steal the Democrats’ economic platform.” He’s not “anti-war.” He’s an plutocratic imperialist waging war on social welfare, consumer protection, and civil liberties. Look at what he doe...

@democrats.senate.gov If you pass the CR, there won't be a Congress. You'll have abdicated your 1 job to the branch that was never meant to have it.
There's a poem about the events of WW2 you should read. It goes something like "I let S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, and Z, be killed, and then it was my turn."

*A number of Senate Democrats have stated no position on the bill, leaving their options open. In general, senators have been hedging their bets until forced to make a decision. That time has come*

What I’ve been saying (screaming). Now there’s data.
The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

Tens of thousands rallied across Argentina on Feb 1 against president Milei's queerphobic, misogynistic, and anti-worker policies.
Workers, students, and retirees who've been attacked with austerity joined with LGBTQ+ & feminist activists. This is how to fight the Far Right✊

Hear me out —
If parents call colleges freaked about their FAFSA data being leaked, schools may have to issue statements — which would reach a whole lot more families about how warped this is.
Organizing isn’t always calling electeds. Sometimes it’s just calling people with a bigger megaphone.

Let's all say it out loud. These people are fascists & this is a fascist take-over of the United States. You can couch your words more carefully, but the speed and ferocity of what is happening now is part-and-parcel of a coup. The GOP in Congress has surrendered. The Dems are out of their depth. 1/

I spoke to former Treasury and OMB officials, and they said Elon Musk accessing government payment systems could give him the power to selectively turn off payments. They described what this really means in very clarifying terms. See below:
