The House will vote this week on the GOP's budget proposal, which includes massive cuts to Medicaid and food stamps to pay for even more tax cuts for the rich.
Call your representatives now and tell them to reject it: (202) 224-3121

True story: a few years ago, I was being interviewed by a reporter for the New York Times. I mentioned the history of eviction statutes and how they tied into Jim Crow.
The reporter asked "what's Jim Crow?"
When I explained, the reporter didn't believe me and said the US wouldn't do that.

Before Rosa Parks, There Was Claudette Colvin
Most people know about Rosa Parks and the 1955 Montgomery, Ala., bus boycott. Nine months earlier, 15-year-old Claudette Colvin refused to give up her seat on the same bus system.

The problem with Elon is we can't fire him because we never hired him.
And we can't impeach him because we never put him in office.
But the DC police can arrest him as a private citizen for trespassing next time he barges into federal offices without legit authorization.

Anal Tickler aka Elon Musk is a narcissist who thrives on attention
How about we shut him down by not giving him the attention he wants? Let's blow media up with SO MANY NEGATIVE images of Anal Tickler.

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options.
Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

We all like to yell at the Democrats, but it’s really Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune who are letting Elon Musk and his faceless goon squad make a mockery of their power as leaders of a coequal branch without uttering a peep or lifting a finger.
