I’ve documented 130 examples of Elon Musk benefiting from the Trump administration—often while hurting the American public.

I’ll keep fighting to hold Musk & Trump accountable.

As today is World Parrot Day I’m bringing back to the timeline my favourite rendition of Whole Lotta Rosie by Tico (parrot) and Frank (non-parrot) of Tico and the Man (a truly great squawk n' roll band)

They wanted to pass this evil budget to take away healthcare from millions earlier today. It’s still stuck in the rules committee cause House Dems introduced over 500 amendments and we are lined up to debate on them. Delaying is important. Keep up the pressure on these Congressional Republicans.

¡Qué papelón!

U.S. Loses Last Triple-A Credit Rating Moody’s Ratings downgraded the U.S. government, citing large fiscal deficits and rising interest costs.

Ends up when old people borrow trillions from young people, with no intention of paying it back, everything gets more expensive.

What are we even doing?

About half of all births are covered by Medicaid.

Over a third of all kids have health care thanks to Medicaid.

More than half of all nursing home residents are covered by Medicaid.

So understand this: when the GOP attacks Medicaid, they attack families in every community.

This is the exact reason why I stopped my @nytimes.com subscription many years ago. Either hyperbolic headlines or they don’t call a spade a spade. 🥸
