The cost?

Nearly 14 million Americans could lose health care coverage

18 million children could lose access to free school meals

11 million people could lose other food assistance

All to give tax breaks to their billionaire donors..

Project 2025 specifically tells their people to use ‘Signal’ to avoid subpoenas…and hence, prosecution for the crimes they are blatantly committing.

Ummm…yeah.

Any Questions?!

Look, if you won't take it from me, take it from Jen Psaki: this is an excellent summation on the lack of strategy from Mr. Schumer and why it's hurting all of us.

Sign the petition to remove him as leader: www.change.org/p/boycott-co...
The Sunday shows are keeping it real—Schumer gave away the game for nothing.

Jen Psaki lays out what he could have done. He played this wrong on every level.

And with a Social Security, Medicare, and a tax cut fight coming, do you really want @schumer.senate.gov leading the fight?!

“Are you worried?” That is always the first question.

“Of course I am worried,” I respond. “The president of the United States considers me an enemy and has promised retribution. I would be an idiot not to be worried. But I am not going to give in. I will continue to fight.”

So much bad shit happening. This is what it boils down to.
"True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.” —FDR, 1944

Today, Trump is dismantling much of the Department of Education. He has ordered wrestling executive-turned-Education Secretary Linda McMahon to shut most of her department.

But there’s a much larger story here. robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-att...
Trump's attack on the American mind
Behind his closure of the Education Department and his assault on higher education, science, libraries, and museums lie the oligarchs of the techno-state.

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy.

Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media.

That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, and the arts – to prevent us from learning.

It's Fascism 101.

Elon Musk and Donald Trump are stealing from children and schools to fund tax cuts for their billionaire friends.

Americans did not vote for this.

A bipartisan majority of Americans oppose Musk and Trump’s efforts to defund our schools.

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)'s climate and clean energy provisions have led to 330+ funded projects.

These projects have created a tremendous amount of investments and manufacturing jobs, especially in districts represented by Republican members of Congress #CCLforIRA

Do you have a Republican representative? Please call them to protect energy tax credits in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)! if your trip is a Dem share this with others who live in Red districts.

I am tracking 3 separate cases where the government is violating court orders. The question now is whether judges find willfulness and hold officials in contempt.
