Petition to Congressman John Rutherford: Hold a Public Town Hall Now! How is he speaking for us if he is not hearing from us.

We, the Constituents, need to hold our US Representative & US Senators accountable. This cause is close to my heart - please sign: sign.moveon.org/petitions/pe...

This should worry anyone who claims to care about our military or national security #cjcs #foreignpolicy #militarylife #trump #amymcgrath TikTok video by DMA_PAC

This is terrifying & should be of concern to all Americans, Republicans & Democrats, who believe in our Constitution.Trump has fired the top military leaders & lawyers, so he can order some illegal act unopposed such as attack Europe or shoot peaceful American protesters. www.tiktok.com/t/ZT25hLYFN/

Avis Chen Boulter, MD on Substack My thoughts about democracy totally align with those expressed in Dr. Brownโ€™s essay. This conception describes our government pre January 20, 2025. We need to challenge & resist this coup by Trump, Mu...

We need to call & tell our Senators to vote No on Vought, the architect of Project 2025, for Dir of OMB, No for a Funding Freeze, & charge & deport Musk, a possible illegal immigrant, for stealing personal info from many Americans & for stealing federal funds from the US Treasury. Both are crimes.

Widest income gap ever. Living in different worlds. The rich want to destroy or forget the poor.

Hegseth lied at his confirmation hearing! I can't imagine a worse candidate with a history of multiple blackouts, anger management issues, rape, domestic violence, & no experience running an organization as large as the Dept of Defense. Also he wouldn't pass security clearance with his alcoholism.

So far Project 2025 has wrought much evilness in only 4 days. I warned some of my FB friends about it before the election & nearly got my head chopped off. They kept saying Trump disavowed it. Don't they get that every word he said was a lie, so you would vote for him. They still defend him.

DT pardoned her attackers & released them from prison. These violent insurrectionists are emboldened by him. They seek revenge on police officers, prosecutors, & judges. Please protect these innocent people & their families. They were bravely doing the right thing, their jobs. TRUMP DOESN'T CARE!

Please repost so all the people will know the House Republicans' plan to cut Medicaid to pay for a tax cut for billionaires. Medicaid helps the elderly, the disabled, & those w/limited income. Billionaires need to pay their fair share of taxes. How is this helping the American people? IS THIS FAIR?

Thankfully the Dept of Health & Human Services understood the assignment & took care of this. Before DT took over, they funded development of the Moderna bird flu vaccine. I don't think the current administration even knows about the bird flu! They paused the CDC & withdrew from the WHO. So idiotic!

Didn't he just admit that the election was rigged? Nobody did anything. This was 1/19/25. Why?

This was so abhorrent, heinous, violent, & depraved behavior.

She protected the Capitol. I am so thankful for her sacrifice & service. Now the violent & criminal insurrectionists have been pardoned & released & are emboldened by DT. What a disrespectful thing to do to our law enforcement. He put them, the judges, & the prosecutors at risk. HE DOESN'T CARE!

Judge blocks Trump's plan to end US birthright citizenship During a hearing, Judge John Coughenour called Trump's citizenship order "blatantly unconstitutional".

Finally a little glimmer of positivity! A federal judge temporarily blocked DT's attack on Birthright Citizenship. The Supreme Court case of a Chinese American, Wong Kim Ark, established birthright citizenship in 1898. We won't go back! New here. Let's follow @ other.

Costco defends its diversity policies as other US companies scale theirs back Costco is pushing back on a shareholder proposal that urges the wholesale club operator to conduct an evaluation of any business risks posed by its diversity, equity and inclusion practices.

In a world of Amazons, let's all be Costcos! Thanks for not being a sheep & standing up for DEI. Our country, communities, & businesses are better off w/ DEI! I'm new here. Please give me a like.

My daughter & I are physicians. This travel & communication pause & withdrawal from the WHO are absurd. We have a couple human bird flu cases, but no human to human transmission yet. What do we do if there's a epidemic? We won't know. DT is not equipped to handle this crisis. Let's follow @ other.
