I am an American. My great great grandfather's immigrated to this country and built secure lives because they had the freedom to thrive. I will NOT allow my county to silence our voices. They cannot prevent me and all my neighbors from voting, because WE ARE AMERICANS."

If so, kiss them goodbye because Donald Trump just moved to stop funding them. Seems like there'd be a better things to do than squashing the network that has enriched our lives for decades

It’s Thursday. Day 67
Did you know that Trump just cut more that $12 Billion funding for state health services, effective immediately? Per Government stats in 2019, his golf trips cost over 13 million per trip, & now he golfs nearly every weekend.
Do you think this man has his priorities straight?

Did you know Trump is considering setting up a fund to provide $ to the J6 rioters? That's like giving them reparations, right? He hasn't mentioned a fund for the officers who were seriously injured that day. Does this man share our values?

Did you know that the Sec of Health & the Sec of Ag have said it may be a good idea to let Bird Flu run unchecked through US farms? Experts say that may allow the H5N1 virus, , to mutate and perhaps become more contagious to humans. Sound like a good idea to you?

Did you know that Trump's agencies have issued instructions warning staff not to use certain words and phrases in official communications? Look at this partial list of banned words. What do you think they are trying to accomplish?

It's official! The President of the United States is no longer "The Leader of the Free World," and will never be again.

Did you know during the campaign, He promised the economy would β€œBoom like no other?” He won't rule out a recession. Cost of living is up. Multiple trade wars. Stock in free fall. Consumer confidence plunging, inflation rising. Do you think this economy is booming?

Did you know the new Def Sec is eliminating all positions that focus on preventing injury or death for innocent civilians? Our government is no longer going to care about injuring or killing blameless residents. Does this represent the American values you believe in?

Did you know that he threatened to stop funding for any school that allows β€œillegal” protests? He didn't define β€œillegal." Speech & assembly are protected by our constitution. "Agitators will be imprisoned.” Take him literally AND seriously. He wants to stop all dissent. That Ok?

Did you know almost 4,000 campsites in California’s 18 national forests could close this summer season because of Elon Musk’s cuts? Trail access at Mt. Whitney, Lake Tahoe, Lassen, Shasta-Trinity and Sequoia will either be closed or poorly maintained. Is this what you voted for?

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 30, the number is 100%.

Democrats are trying to play by a rulebook that expired in 2016, was shredded in 2024, and has been burned to ashes in 2025.

Did you know the CONSUMER CONFIDENCE INDEX just had the largest decline since Aug '21? When it's low Americans don't spend, leading to higher inflation. Groceries have climbed 0.5%; egg prices up 15%. Remember he said, "I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One.” I call BS!

Yesterday' oval office ambush brought back an emotional response I've only had 3 times before in my American lifetime. November 22nd. September 11th. January 6th. And, now, February 28th.

Did you know that, in 1994, Ukraine was the third largest nuclear power in the world? hen, they agreed to give up their weapons. In return we promised Ukraine would be protected as a sovereign nation. Yesterday, FOTUS officially reneged on that deal and took all of us with him.

I am so sorry Ukraine. I am so sorry President Zelensky. Have no doubt this was planned. That ambush was calculated and despicable. I am ashamed of my country. My heart breaks for Ukraine... and for the world. We are being driven off a cliff by evil, cruel men. I am so sorry.

I'm 73 so I can say with confidence, what we do NOT need is a bunch of retired air traffic controllers. It isn't ageism, it is a fact. At this age, sadly, we just ain't what we used to be.

Maybe it's time for blue state Governors to identify international sources for vaccines. If RFK blocks them or doesn't produce enough, let it become a state program. @cagovernor

Did you know there’s a panel of scientists who meet with the FDA each March to determine the strains of Flu virus to target with the annual flu vaccine? Yesterday the FDA, under RFK Jr, abruptly cancelled the meeting with no explanation and no reschedule date. Just Great!

Remember, this Friday is a day without spending. It's important that we begin to act in unison to stop these guys. No one is coming to save us. No one.

Did you know the FDA's Human Food Div. is now led by Don Jr’s hunting pal? He will oversee the nation’s food program from the manufacturing of infant formulas to ensuring that our food is safe. Though not a scientist, he's been eating food for years. So we’ll be fine. Right?

Did you know that at the UN, the US voted with Russia, North Korea, Hungary, & Syria, against our European Allies? We voted against condemning Russia for invading Ukraine. Trump chose to openly align with the world’s most aggressive dictators. It’s clear now what side we’re on.

Did you know FOTUS named a right wing PODCASTER as the deputy Director of the FBI? He's never worked at the FBI. He ran for office and lost three times. He was in the secret service, hosted a show on NRA Tv & was permanently banned from YouTube. Sound like a good choice to you?

I've seen calls for a social media blackout on the 28th, the day of the national boycott. They would love that! On that day, we need to actively raise our voices, reminding people that we are united and we are using our purchasing power to send a message. Another day, maybe, but NOT that day.

Did you know that the Defense Secretary plans to fire 5-8% of our military civilian workforce? If he fires 8%, 60,000 people would lose their jobs. He also intends to cut $50 billion in defense spending . The big question...Do you feel safer?
