No one should have to work more than one job to afford basic things like food, shelter, and healthcare. Whatever the job, one should be enough.

Trump reduced the tariffs on China in exchange for nothing.

He paused the tariffs on Canada & Mexico in exchange for nothing.

He postponed tariffs on EU in exchange for nothing.

He threatened Russia with sanctions if they didn’t sign ceasefire & did nothing.

Art of the Deal.

44% of all American children benefit from Medicaid or SNAP.

Republicans' budget guts both programs.

Yes: the so-called "party of family values" is putting 34 MILLION kids' health care access and food security at risk.

I believe our representatives should protect the 1 in 5 Iowans that rely on Medicaid, not Trump’s billionaire buddies! What about you?

There was a vegetarian restaurant in the East Village in the late 80s that had the most delicious homemade patty thing with an equally delicious sauce. Yum. You'd get it with brown rice. I'll never remember the name of that place. 😒 Maybe someone out there does.

Oops! It looks like you're blaming your fellow worker for a problem created by billionaires and giant corporations. Would you like help?

Who they want you to blame might change, but the motivation stays the same. It’s easier to pick our pockets if we’re fighting with each other.

Elon Musk said he’d cut the federal budget by $2 trillion

Quickly lowered this to $1 trillion

Now he’s down to $150 billion

And even THAT appears to be an overestimate of $92 billion

So-after firing thousands of workers and destroying government services

This clown will cut $58 billion

Maybe

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act.

Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes?
Staffer: a DL and birth certificate.
Me: The documents don’t match
Staffer: Then a marriage certificate.
Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too?
Staffer: No
Me: See the problem?

Republicans break things we rely on, then want us to clap when they get rid of it entirely

It's all a game to billionaires. They only play to win for themselves, not you. You are just a piece they move around the board to do so.

🚨UPDATE: RΓΌmeysa Γ–ztΓΌrk has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in DHS custody.

She has not received her required asthma medicationsβ€”a violation of her fundamental right to medical care.

This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.

He wore the cheesehead hat in WI. Spent $20 million. Paid people to sign petitions. Paid people to canvas. Did million dollar giveaways. A rally. TV interviews. But I guess people in Wisconsin didn’t appreciate an oligarch trying to buy their civil liberties.

The people pushing the lab leak theory want a major crackdown on viral research, precisely the kind of work that will prevent the next global pandemic. The more extreme lab-leakers want to jail scientists and shut down public health institutions entirely.

The Iowa GOP knows ranked-choice voting could hurt their future chances, so they are pushing a bill to outlaw it.

Perhaps the most concise way to think about this is that Musk has pranced around bragging about cracking down on fraud and abuse, finding the bad guys. Meanwhile what he's actually done is enable perhaps the biggest splurge of fraud and tax cheating in history. For him and his pals.
