I will never vote for you again. You’re a traitor to democracy.

Don't tell me you give a shit about the middle class when all you do is shit on the middle class.

A statement graphic from DNC Chair Ken Martin reading, β€œToday, Donald Trump and the Republican party sent a message to America: if you are not a billionaire, we don’t give a damn about you. Health care. Basic food benefits. Dignity in old age. These are the values that Republicans have abandoned to give their billionaire friends another tax handout. This massive scheme to steal from working families, children, and seniors will devastate communities in blue and red states alike. We know the numbers: 17 million Americans will lose health care, over 5 million will lose food assistance, and millions will lose their jobs. But we must also know the stories: Had this bill passed when I was growing up, I would not be here today. 

Republicans may see Americans’ livelihoods as β€˜immaterial’ β€” joking β€˜we are all going to die’ and telling petrified Americans to β€˜get over it’ β€” but that doesn’t change the hell they are unleashing on America’s families. While the GOP continues to cash their billionaire donors’ checks, their constituents will starve, lose critical medical care, lose their jobs β€” and yes, some will die as a result of this bill. Democrats are mobilizing and will fight back to make sure everybody knows exactly who is responsible for one of the worst bills in our nation’s history.”

Watch and listen.

Passionate and honest @replsimon.bsky.social lets the world know what is happening if this budget is passed.

Unbelievable cruelty upon those who need it most. And after hearing this, those in the committee still voted yes.

Do you think they'll go to the public to say why?

Trump doesn't understand his jobβ€”which is to protect, preserve, and defend the Constitution.

He wants a $90M birthday party with tanks & jets to feed his ego. But he’s not Genghis Khan or Napoleon, he's the Presidentβ€”and he owes a duty to us, the people, and the Constitution.

🚨BREAKING NEWS:

Congressman John Garamendi tells Call to Activism that Republicans are pushing a $150 BILLION slush fund for Trump and Pete Hegseth to use at their discretion to "update” American missiles - with little oversight into how the money is spent and who profits.

When Trump says DEI he actually means Brown, Black and LGBTQ people.

Oh, and women too.

At noon ET today, an adjudicated insurrectionist who previously took an oath of allegiance to the Constitution will be sown in & allowed to again hold public office. Given the express text of the 14th Amendment, does anyone notice a pesky little constitution problem with today's swearing in?
