There’s 68 Million people in the UK and 11 million of them are of working age and ability but are dependent on social services for housing, food, child care. While taxing the rich is absolutely critical, so is getting more able-bodied folk back out into the workforce to participate in the economy.

Republicans are fleecing America β€” and stripping medicaid, too Choosing where our tax dollars are spent shows which people and places we value.

β€œTurns out, when you give tax cuts to the rich, the rich get richer, but no one else does and the economy doesn’t grow any faster.” Read more from economist @hboushey.bsky.social on the fallacy of trickle-down economics & the fleecing of America’s federal budget.

No congressperson should sit quietly during Trump’s speech. Their responsibility is to openly revolt and disrupt the process.

Trump’s Defense Secretary Hegseth has ordered the US Cyber Command to β€˜Stand Down’ on all Russia operations, offensive and defensive. Leaving millions vulnerable to Russian cyberattacks.

Musk’s status as a β€œspecial government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working dailyβ€”documented by his own X postsβ€”they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congressβ€”please share.

Heather, your comment to someone else on FB that MoCs are just waiting for someone else to fix this resonates so strongly. How do we combat the Bystander Effect? Which Members are the most likely to be persuaded to taking action, so that others can join in?

But they are waiting for someone else to fix it.

No one else is going to fix it.

We need to call and target specific members and beg them to stand up and speak out.

It’s unconscionable that we need to find leaders amongst our β€œleaders” but here we are.

American politicians are currently experiencing what is known as the β€œbystander effect.” While there are certainly spineless sycophants who are cheering on Trump, there are clearly Republican Members of Congress who see what’s happening with Russia and know this is wrong.

DOGE’s Millions: As Musk and Trump Gut Government, Their Ax-Cutting Agency Gets Cash Infusion The Department of Government Efficiency is funded β€” and acts β€” like a federal agency. But the White House has shielded DOGE from the rules that govern such agencies, ProPublica found as it examines…

If DOGE is a federal agency, it can’t shield its records from the public.

If it’s not an agency, then its tens of millions of dollars in funding weren’t legally allocated and should be returned, some contend.

Russia and China, have ramped up recruitment efforts targeting US federal employeesβ€”particularly those recently fired or at risk of termination. These efforts are unfolding aggressively on LinkedIn, where adversaries are reaching out under the guise of job opportunities, networking, and consulting.

The top 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth.

The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth.

Read that back.

Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

There was only one person acting presidential in the Oval Office today: Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

He stood up to bullies in a Kremlin-style shakedown.

What will it take to awaken the conscience of the country after such a shameful display?
