This is real life, yโall.
These arenโt โdemocratic talking pointsโโthis is a real mother and real babies at risk of going hungry, all because Republicans want to be greedy.

New in PN: DOJ politicization escalates with bogus arrest of Rep. LaMonica McIver
"Even Alina Habba's sworn declaration contains obvious false statements, clearly disproven by the bodycam footage ICE released to the media. And her online posturing appears to violate the DOJ's own rules."
When I feel overwhelmed I remind myself I can't fix it all. Thatโs not why I fight.
The worldโs unfair, act right anyway.
Justice cracks, speak up anyway.
Progress stalls, build anyway.
Stay true to who you are.
You may not see the top of the mountain,
but you sure as hell can carve the trail.

This is cruel.
Don't get it twisted: Donald Trump and the Republicans are cutting vital programs that millions of Americans depend on like Medicaid and supplemental nutrition assistanceย to give billionaires and the biggest corporations in the world a massive tax break.

But it won't be DOJ.

08.04.2025 23:01 โ ๐ 5726 ๐ 1441 ๐ฌ 72 ๐ 62Hakeem Jeffries Democratic Leader April 8, 2025 Dear Speaker Johnson: I write to request a one-on-one debate, formally known as a colloquy, on the House Floor tomorrow with respect to the Republican Budget Resolution. Over the weekend, the Senate passed a Budget Resolution that would cut Medicaid, food assistance and veterans benefits in order to provide a $7 trillion tax break that would primarily benefit wealthy billionaires like Elon Musk. Republican Members of Congress have repeatedly denied that painful cuts will be made. However, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has confirmed that based on the text of the budget proposal there is nowhere else for cuts of such magnitude to come from other than areas like the critical healthcare programs relied upon by everyday Americans to survive. The American people deserve to know the truth. I look forward to a one-on-one debate with you on the House Floor to fully and transparently explain and defend our differing budget values to the American people. Sincerely, Hakeem Jeffries Democratic Leader
BREAKING: Speaker Hakeem Jeffries just threw DOWN the gauntletโchallenging Trumpโs little Johnson to a one-on-one debate TOMORROW on the GOPโs extremist budget.
Letโs see if MAGAโs puppet has the guts to defend cuts to seniors, vets, & working families.
We. The. People. Are. Watching.
A week after my remarks on the Senate floor I am more energized then ever to continue to fight for Americans on Medicaid, Americans worried about Social Security, Americans looking for opportunity in their local economy.

Following Elon Musk, the world's richest man, two speakers at CPAC, Steve Bannon, who was pardoned by Donald Trump, and Mexican actor Eduardo Verรกstegui, have now given Nazi salutes.
This is a major scandal + should push us all to mobilize, protest, and call out #CPAC for what it is: a Nazi rally.
