Trump is deranged, but we see this every day.

Republicans like to claim they aren't actually cutting Medicaid.

Which is an easily disproven lie.

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation.

This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.

Trump is claiming no inflation.

He knows that, unlike him, we actually do our own shopping and know that’s bullshit, right?

Fuck this.

This is nothing but red meat for Trump’s base. A federal law that *Trump* signed into law guarantees backpay to furloughed workers. There’s no disputing this.

The people on top want working people to fight with one another because it keeps eyes off them and how they're making off with your money.

This is a reminder that you do not have the same 24 hours in a day as the ultra-wealthy, because they can outsource the kinds of tasks working people need to do on their day to day to get by.

This is also a reminder we need to tax 👏 the 👏 rich 👏 www.nytimes.com/2025/10/04/b...

Boom time for US billionaires: why the system perpetuates wealth inequality As the super rich grow even richer, inequality expert Chuck Collins says the system is broken – but it can be fixed

Republicans control every branch in Washington.

Now, Trump is openly giddy about using the shutdown to slash and burn federal resources that working Americans count on.

His shutdown, and firings, will hurt people in every part of this country.

The policy failures we’re living with didn’t begin with Donald Trump - and they very clearly won't end with him either.

My party has to offer a vision for how everyday life actually gets better under new and different leadership.

Loved joining fellow Michigan Democrats in Grand Rapids last night. They are hard at work and fast underway, organizing to win based on our values and message of ensuring every level of government actually works for the people, delivering a better and more affordable everyday life for all.

fwiw, Alito said this yesterday:

“There’s a baby!”

Guns drawn. Windows smashed. With a 1 month old in the car. (They did this as he was coming home from an immigration court appointment— which is illegal in Colorado: coloradosun.com/2025/10/01/i...)

Mark Kelly: “lf you are undocumented in our country, you cannot get healthcare from the Affordable Care Act exchange. You are not eligible for Medicare. You are not eligible for Medicaid. They’re just making that up. They just like to blame brown people.”

Many of us feel this way!

I can’t not believe how hard it is to sleep when you’re watching your country, be dismantled by the dumbest people.
