Trumpism:

1. Manufacture an excuse to attack and threaten your opponent
2. Deny everything
3. Declare victory regardless of what actually happens

While this gives the appearance of power and success, at some point reality reveals the chaos and destruction it causes.

Wake up America!

This story of an Iraq Veteran that was recently fired from her VA job helping other veterans just breaks my heart.

Stand up, push back, say something. Give the Truth a voice.

We are in unchartered waters.

Our (WA) members of Congress have asked constituents to email rather than call when commenting on issues to keep the phones open for urgent calls from constituents that have lost their jobs due to the vicious and unconstitutional DOGE cuts.

Resolve is growing.

Canadian Foreign Minister Joly is a truth teller. "We've had enough". Canada is not going to play games with Trump. They call a spade a spade. Trump's goal is to weaken Canada in order to annex it. They see the game he is playing. We up America! www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3rI...

On Feb 28, we’re hitting them where it hurts: their wallets. Join the Economic Blackout—no spending, no shopping, no transactions. Billionaires & corporations rig the system against us. Let’s show our power by shutting it down for a day. Spread the word! #EconomicBlackout #NoSpendingDay

NO. At a time of massive income and wealth inequality we should not be giving tax breaks to billionaires. We should demand that they start paying their fair share.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

I'm struck with how President Trump has really never solved anything. No infrastructure plan, no education plan, no healthcare plan. No public services.
Name one action he has taken that didn't involve hurting others, tearing something down, or destroying a public good.
Really. Name one.

Dear Republicans
90% of businesses fail from a hostile takeover:
-loss of momentum from chaos
-failing to retain talent
-failure to address cultural differences
-Acquier Superiority: believing you know more than others

You good with that 10% survival chance for us?

When I was a teacher, my students and I always took time this month to honor the generations of Black Americans who fought against injustice to achieve equal rights.

May we all reflect on our past as we continue working to build a society that lives up to its democratic ideals.

White House Report Card for the Month of January
-Lower cost of Living (nope)

-Realistic Immigration Legislation (remember you said no)
-Stable International Relations (worse)

Grade: Failing

Republicans give the rich tax breaks. They don't pay for the tax breaks, they just put it on the National Credit Card. Between Bush and Trump, the Republicans DOUBLED the national debt. In a few days they will do it again while trying to blame the debt on other people. Just look at the facts.

A message to the US Senate: America is watching. Patel, Gabbard, and RFK are more than just unfit. They are a danger to our country, and to our people's safety. Use your vote to protect the people you represent. History will remember your choice.
