MAGA Republicans know they can't win elections without cheating, and that is why Abbot and company are redrawing districts in TX to give themselves five additional congressional seats.

Texas Dems are pushing back by leaving the state to deny them the quorum they need to cheat.

We cannot let fascists take over our country!

That's what Texas extremists are trying to do. They are trying to eliminate all Democratic districts by redrawing the districts in a crazy way.

We cannot let this go unanswered.

Renzo is less than a thousand dollars from making his halfway goal. Can we give him a boost so his family can continue raising money for the care he will need after a life altering injury fighting CA wildfires?

Floods killing people? What me worry? Trump says heโ€™ll cut funding for river gauges to predict floods. And close 10 NOAA offices that study how to predict weather disasters. Follow Trumpโ€™s follies at anothertrumpdisaster.com

In Trinity Texas, 90 miles north of Houston, Midcoast Medical Center recently had to close its doors.

The closure was driven by the same factors that have closed other rural hospitals: low reimbursement rates from elderly patients' Medicare and Medicaid coverage, which made up most of its budget.

Trump plans to fire two-thirds of the inspectors who enforce the rules keeping guns away from criminals, gun traffickers, straw purchasers, and people with severe mental illness.

With the Big Ugly Bill stripping healthcare from 17 million people

Unleashing ICE and the military on US soil

Killing the SNAP program

The actions to annul birthright citizenship and denaturalize citizens

And everything else

Iโ€™ve ever seen a president who hates Americans as much as Donald Trump

What are you going to do with your anger that is arising bc Senate Republicans didnโ€™t #VoteNo on the Big Ugly Bill?

Here are some thoughts - in addition to continuing to call your reps, your friends, your acquaintances and everyone else you know.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and the House Dems are ready to fight back on Trumpโ€™s Big Ugly Bill.

Until we win back the House, we need Republicans to think about losing their seats in 2026.

Together, we can still win this battle.

Call 202-224-3121 and tell your representative to
#VoteNo

Medicaid goes by a different name in every stateโ€”but no matter what itโ€™s called, millions rely on it, including Veterans and Military Families.

Trump and Republicans want to gut it.

๐Ÿ“ž Call Congress: (202) 224-3121

Tell them to VOTE NO!

Republicans are no longer the party of fiscal conservatives

They enabled Trump's chaotic tariffs

Are about to up-end the entire healthcare system for millions of Americans

And raise the national debt $4 trillion

That's $4,000,000,000,000 our kids & grandkids will owe

Hey Alaska, never forget that Sen Lisa Murkowski cast the deciding vote to pass Trump's Big Fugly Bill!

40,000 Alaskans will
lose healthcare coverage. Thousands of families will be left starving. And state and local government budgets will be thrown into chaos
