Indivisible Warren County organized to demand representation and answers from #Miller-Meeks on what's keeping them up at night. She stands idly by as her #DOGE overlords gut social security services and impact programs like SHIP. How will seniors pay rent and feed themselves, Mary?

The Constitution. The judicial branch. Separation of powers. Checks and balances. A nation of laws. The President of this country is not a king.

Please repeat.

At least $12 *trillion* from global oligarchs is hidden offshore in secret tax havens worldwide. And it is headquartered right here in the USA.

Instead of cutting lifesaving programs like the VA, Medicaid, and food stamps, we should be cracking down on tax havens for the ultra-rich.

They’ve called armed federal officers to the scene. We aren’t dangerous. We are here to represent our people. To defend public education. This is an authoritarian regime. You cannot block members of Congress from entering the Department of Education.
