The U.S. government spent $710 billion in Trump’s first month, an increase from the same period a year prior. Cost-cutting efforts are ineffective, and job losses are occurring without clear justification.

πŸ”₯ @aoc.bsky.social : β€œThe numbers don’t add up. $880 BILLION is a devastating cut to Medicaid, and an attack on Medicare. Anyone who votes for this budget is voting to cut Medicaid and gut health care for Medicare recipients in πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ.”

This is what a deal with the devil looks likeπŸ‘‡

Democrats showed up tonight to defend healthcare for 37 million children & oppose $800M+ in cuts to Medicaid.

Republicans voted for these cuts - which 71% of Trump supporters oppose - to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

Shame on them. They must be held accountable.

Medicaid pays for 42% of US births.
The pro-birth party is making amateur choices.

As of October 2024, approximately 72 million Americans were enrolled in Medicaid, representing about 21% of the U.S. population. It provides health coverage to low-income individuals, including children, pregnant women, adults, seniors, and people with disabilities. οΏΌ

The House will vote TODAY on whether to advance devastating cuts to Medicaid that would destroy lifesaving programs for people with disabilities, children, seniors, and more.

Call your representative now and tell them to save Medicaid at (202) 224-3121.

They’re letting a megalomaniac billionaire desperate for validation play President – if you’re surprised people are pissed, you need to get out of your DC bubble.

Nothing more American than hating a bad boss, especially an illegitimate one like Musk.

Republicans just don’t like being called on it.

Stop the SAVE Act
YouTube video by Indivisible Stop the SAVE Act

Republicans are getting ready to go after our voting rights. The SAVE Act isn’t about election security β€” it’s about mass voter suppression.

Call your representative and tell them to vote NO on the SAVE Act: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

And contact your senators: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Today marks three years since Russia began its illegal, unprovoked, full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The human costs of Putin’s war are staggering. The world must continue to stand with Ukraine and ensure that Russia is held accountable for its atrocities. #StandWithUkraine πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦

I know there have been a fair number of conflicting dates, so, let's organize and settle on February 28th to start.

Market Blackout. No buying. No major retailers. No Amazon.

For one day, we grind consumerism to a halt. (And with a little planning, this shouldn't be hard.)

Let's do it.
