It’s also illegal to not preserve records…Signal deletes conversations.

He is playing into the hands of China, Russia and Iran. The void will be filled and it won’t be good for America.

Amy who will hold FOTUS and the administration accountable when they defy the courts?
We can all get in the game and fight but ultimately how do we make them to follow court orders? I’ve been told that the Marshalls are the enforcers.

When you can’t legislate you write an executive order that will be overturned in court or changed with a stroke of the pen.
Legislation is hard work but it’s what our built our country.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Feeding children seems like a baseline for a democracy but not under FOTUS and Musk.

The word radical when referring to democrats seems to be code for caring about other people.
The baseline for Christianity is caring for others. There is nothing radical about wanting everyone to be well.

Make it make sense.

Dems have got to a new marketing and communications playbook. Saying we’re disappointed over and over is lame.

Amy hasn’t Musk leveraged his Tesla stock for other loans? At what point do the banks call in their markers?

I think we are watching a curated crash intended to pave the way for the wealthy to purchase American assets for pennies on the dollar. Otherwise the incompetence is astounding.

I have no idea why democrats are acting like all of this is normal. They seem to have no plan to counter the craziness. Where is the massive outreach to voters about Social Security and Medicare? This is not the time to politely disagree.

And to start the conversation how about we demand Democrats get on this immigration stuff and call their bluff!

Just spitballing here but if immigration is the BIGGEST threat to the U.S. why isn’t the guy in the White House and the GOP working on immigration reform? You know, actual laws and policies?
Anyone?

Jess is spot on, the GOP is curating an economic crash so their wealthy donors can buy our country’s assets for pennies on the dollar.

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A β€œrubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

I’m participating in the economic blackout tomorrow and I hope you will too. The only thing I’m buying is lunch at and independent music venue!

Just an FYI: Medicaid fraud is rarely perpetrated by beneficiaries. The fraudsters are almost always the doctors and CEO's that administer Medicaid. For example: when a doctor charges the government $600 for an $8 breast pump and pockets the cash and the third party administrator takes a cut.

As Musk gathers our vital information I wonder just what the real motive is…he now has the ability to hold every American citizen hostage.
