We are upset, like many, that the ACA tax credits are not restored in this “deal” to reopen the govt. But let’s be clear why: the Rs refused to budge as the hunger & aviation crises worsened. Let’s be clear who is hurting working families. The AFT will keep fighting www.aft.org/press-releas...

Friendly reminder to all media this week: The GOP controls both houses of Congress. They can keep the government open with their own votes. It’s their own fecklessness and chaos that REQUIRES Dems to vote for this budget.

Congress eliminated public media funding. At a time of deep division, public media brings us together. Help keep it strong. Join our monthly donors today: n.pr/458sOhq

20 federal immigration agents mistakenly raided the Oklahoma City home of a family of U.S. citizens, held the mother and her three daughters at gun point, and seized the family’s phones, laptops, and life savings. Agents from the FBI, ICE, and DHS were cruel and abusive, treating the mother and…

Trump is now threatening to fire the Fed Chair he appointed—because Powell won’t cut rates fast enough to cover for Trump’s economic damage. He wrecked the economy with tariffs. Now he’s looking for a scapegoat. This isn’t monetary policy. It’s sabotage.

While Trump and his aides will try to vilify China in this trade war, make no mistake, Trump is 100% the cause. Removing Trump and MAGA from power is the only effective solution.

PUT THIS ON BLAST: Trump’s tariffs just pushed the risk of a U.S. and global recession this year up to 60%—up from 40%, according to J.P. Morgan. THATS NOT ALL: The White House made up the numbers—Trump Math 🤡

Elon wants apartheid America. So does Trump. And second class citizens-the disenfranchised and persecuted-in the society they’re engineering will not just be people of color, but women, all who disagree with them and all who aren’t rich. They want authoritarian, oligarchic, apartheid.

WOW. Read this entire affidavit.

Joyce White Vance@joycewhitevance.bsky.social

This affidavit, filed by a former Social Security employee in one of the DOGE cases, reveals a shocking exposure of personal info to DOGE operatives & possible compromise of parts of the system. Everyone should read this. Start at para 9. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Thoughts on boycotts: inflict pain on the corporation. Buying a couple 99 cent ebooks from a self-published author on Amazon is fine. Don’t buy a microwave on it. Purity is never the answer. Restraint though and thoughtfulness is.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.

More accurate, fewer words; "There are plenty of contractors going under". A friend furloughed 75% of staff (furlough w/paying for health insurance for three months), 50% exec pay cut, 25% rest of staff to keep as many people w/salary. PS: Wasn't 18F a government office, not a contractor.

Trump has surrounded himself with billionaires worth a combined $450 BILLION. His government isn’t for the people—it’s for the ultra-rich, at our expense.

Nervous Musk, Trump, Vance have all been outclassed in public arguments these last few days. Government failure, stock market crash, and dictatorial alliances are not popular. People are starting to realize that there is no truth here beyond the desire for personal wealth and power. (2/2)

If Democrats were looking for an issue to rally around that can win, Trump and Musk just gave them that with Trump's vow to literally remove "millions of people off social security." He said by removing millions it will make SS strong. In reality they are coming to END Social Security as we know it!

The House Republicans listed below are vulnerable in 2026. They will only vote to cut our benefits if they think no one is watching. If you live in these districts, or know anyone who does, CALL NOW and tell them to keep their hands off Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid!

Hakeem Jeffries@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

Republicans have been ordered by their billionaire Puppet Master to end Medicare as we know it. Democrats have 215 members in the House who can stop this extreme effort. All we need is three House Republicans to join us.

Grocery prices have INCREASED since the start of Trump’s second term — contradicting one of his key campaign promises — which is why Trump is talking about anything BUT grocery prices.
