I am a retired military type of guy and a true democrat. I just left X and ended up here. I am hoping many of the same people I followed will end up here. I am a new grandpa to two wonderful grandchildren and hopefully I will live many more years.
I think she is right.

What happens when you're a member of Congress trying to hold Trump accountable?
You get charged with made-up crimes! Rep. McIver is the latest target of Trump's authoritarian behavior.

TRUMP'S TAX SCAM: Billionaires get richer, YOU get robbed.
Republicans are plotting to gut Medicaid & SNAP, leaving millions without a safety net.
But WE are FIGHTING BACK! We won't let them sacrifice our communities for their wealthy donors.

The little guy trampled again⁉️
Congress promised small businesses a tax credit if they retained workers.
Now Congress may backtrack on that promise by stripping it away from small businesses that made timely filings!

Join us tomorrow!
Medicaid isn't a line item in a budget–it's a lifeline for older adults, people with disabilities & our communities. That’s why we'll be joining a 24-hour #ProtectMedicaid vigil at the U.S. Capitol to share our stories & make our voices heard. Join us! go.caringacross.org/a/dc-medicai...

Join us tomorrow!
🚨 URGENT 🚨
The House Ways And Means Committee is working on its spending bill.
They might REPEAL the ERC tax credit without paying THOUSANDS of claims to small businesses that are COUNTING on this money!
Pay all legitimate claims! #SaveSmallBusinesses

Despite Trump's corruption and the GOP's enabling, we must remember that WE ARE STRONGER.
We, the people, have the power to demand change and hold our leaders accountable.
We will NOT let #TheCostOfTrump be our Democracy and Freedom.

Trump & Republicans want to privatize the VA, cut Medicaid & Medicare, and reduce staffing at essential hospitals.
We can't let them break their promise to our heroes! We've got to save veterans' healthcare! #SaveVeteransHealthCare

Veterans and military families have already sacrificed so much. The least we can do is protect their healthcare and benefits from Republican attacks. Let’s fight to save the VA.

Veterans earned their healthcare and benefits through service to our nation. Republican attacks on the VA are a disgusting betrayal of the promise made to veterans.

Obama was right. The floodgates opened to special interest groups, silencing the people.
15 years ago, politics was fundamentally changed for the worse after SCOTUS opened the door for corrupt politicians and rich oligarchy's to advance their own agenda.

TRUMP'S OLIGARCHY IS BORN
15 years after Citizens United, the Supreme Court's disastrous decision has come to fruition. Billionaires have taken over our government, and Trump's inauguration is just the beginning of their reign.

Storming the Capitol was an attack on democracy, not a patriotic act. Pardoning those responsible just sent a dangerous message: violence & sedition are rewarded. #J6Pardons

Donald Trump said that his Presidency would be used to help working people.
Instead, his first order of business was to pardon convicted felons who tried to overthrow democracy.
These are not the priorities of the American people.
