Republican U.S. Sen. Roger Marshall has blamed the turmoil that erupted at a recent town hall meeting in rural Kansas on “paid Democratic operatives.”
But the people who attended the meeting say they are just concerned Kansans who wanted their senator to hear their concerns.

It IS unusual because we have the ability to have NO measles outbreaks. But with falling vaccine rates, we are seeing yearly outbreaks of increasing size (links below).

He is actively killing people on Musk’s orders. This is a death squad.
We won’t forget his face or his crimes.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.
Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.
Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.
Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law
Time to do things that make him react to you.

21.02.2025 20:30 — 👍 4578 🔁 1591 💬 70 📌 97Are dead people receiving social security? The claim: Trump is claiming waste, fraud, and abuse because people 100, 200, and even 300 years old are receiving Social Security checks. The facts: Trump's new Social Security chief Lee Dudek said the following: "The reported data are people in our records with a Social Security Security number who do not have a date of date associated with their record. These individuals are not necessarily receiving benefits."
No, dead people aren’t receiving Social Security checks. 🙄
Don't believe us? Here's what Trump's new Social Security chief had to say.
🚨 Social Security is NOT a handout. 🚨
It is an EARNED BENEFIT Americans pay into for their entire working life.
It is YOUR money. Not a pawn for a Ruzzian asset’s regime nor a slush fund to borrow against.
Fuck these elite assholes.

A picture inside the Omaha venue in which hundreds are seen standing and listening to Bernie Sanders. Many have their phones in the air recording it and it is a generally young crowd.
In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night.
800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream.
There is a movement to be harnessed here.
