🚨 DOGE is gutting the VA right in front of us.

Thousands of jobs gone. Mental health care slashed. Claims delayed. Vets left waiting—or left behind.

This isn’t a budget decision. It’s a betrayal of the people who served.

If you’re not angry, you’re not paying attention.

NEW: GlobalX flight attendants were told they would fly rock bands, sports teams and sun-seekers.

Then the company started expanding into deportation flights.

This is an excellent summary of the devastating changes to Social Security due to go into effect on March 31. Without a vote!

Are you elderly? Disabled? Have elderly or disabled loved ones? Please please absorb the points Olivia is making here & put pressure on your elected representatives.
Elon Musk called Social Security a “Ponzi Scheme.” To be clear: the Muskrat & Trump want to make it harder for you to get what you paid into. 72 MILLION Americans are about to feel this. Social Security is under attack. Medicare and Medicaid are next in line…

It’s surreal that I have to go to a foreign leader to hear someone describe the full derangement and malignancy of my own president in plain language, because our own “free press” and opposition leaders won’t do it. Bravo Trudeau
Trudeau: "He talked about banking again today in a tweet, which doesn't make any sense because 16 banks are currently active in Canada holding about $113b worth of assets in this country... what he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy, because that'll make it easier to annex us."

Trump put Elon Musk in charge of gutting the federal workforce—and Veterans are paying the price.

28% of federal workers are Vets. Now, thousands are being fired without cause under DOGE. Their service clearly meant NOTHING to this administration.

It’s insane to think that the Trump administration was more welcoming this week to the Tate brothers than to the President of Ukraine.

"Donald Trump has always fantasized about a deep state inside of government that opposes him, something that didn’t exist. Now, he is well on the way to creating one."

There is a reason Trump is afraid of the federal bureaucracy, the career civil servants he wants to replace.
