House Republicans just passed a budget that would kick families off their health care, shut down nursing homes, and force kids to go hungry—all to pass more tax cuts for billionaires that will blow up our national debt.
Raphael is a disabled Army veteran who worked at the VA in Seattle and played a critical role in processing servicemembers' disability benefits. He's received nothing but stellar performance reviews. Elon Musk fired him with ZERO justification. Help share his story.
Democrats absolutely do not want a shutdown and are working in good faith to fund the government—but we need to know Republicans are willing to work with us to protect Congress’s power of the purse. That is the absolute bare minimum—and it is frankly not asking a whole lot.
Republicans are full steam ahead to defund Medicaid and kick kids off their health care to pass more tax giveaways for billionaires—but YOUR story & YOUR voice can make a difference. Congress needs to hear from you—so my advice is to get loud. Here's how you can help fight back ⬇️
Last week, Elon took $8 MILLION with an M—as in ‘Musk can’t count’—and counted it as $8 BILLION with a B—as in ‘BS.’ That is not saving money—it is poor reading comprehension. He might be a joke, but none of this is funny—and he's creating actual fraud.
Spending isn't a “conspiracy” just because Musk doesn’t know how to read usaspending.gov. A program isn't waste just because it doesn’t help the richest man in the world. It isn't fraud just because he doesn’t like it. A law is not illegal just because he disagrees with it.
By crushing cancer research, what are Elon & Trump making more efficient? Their NIH funding cuts are illegal—so instead, they're suffocating the grant approval process for cancer researchers with so much red tape that labs & clinical trials will be forced to shut down.
Elon is firing HUNDREDS of highly skilled workers at Bonneville Power Administration. Engineers, dispatchers, lineworkers. These positions are funded by PNW ratepayers—NOT from federal funding. It doesn't save taxpayers a DIME! Our grid is at risk because Elon doesn't have a CLUE what BPA is.
Russia's brutal invasion of Ukraine began 3 years ago today. Trump might be curling up in Putin's lap, but I still stand with Ukraine in their fight to protect their people and their freedom. Like many Americans, I'm on Ukraine's side, not Putin's.
Trump and Musk are taking a wrecking ball to the U.S. government. Their illegal, arbitrary, and mass federal worker cuts undermine essential services for the American people—right down to the most basic functions of government, to break it beyond repair.
Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns. 100% of his salary is paid by WA state. Elon fired him. Share his story.
The scale and scope of Trump and Elon’s purge of federal workers will set our country back decades. You can't just fire everyone, gut critical agencies, halt funding to organizations across the country and think there won’t be massive consequences.
Spending isn't a “conspiracy” just because Musk doesn’t know how to read usaspending.gov. A program isn't waste just because it doesn’t help the richest man in the world. It isn't fraud just because he doesn’t like it. A law is not illegal just because he disagrees with it.
While Trump is busy making problems worse, trampling our laws, and quoting dictators, Senate Republicans are turning a blind eye and—no they aren’t focused on the price of eggs—they're SPRINTING to pass tax cuts for billionaires.
This is happening because Elon Musk tweeted to kill the December funding bill & all the bipartisan health policies Congress negotiated fell apart. Expanding telehealth brings DOWN costs. It makes health care MORE efficient, and it’s SO important for rural patients.
Trump & Musk are randomly firing people who: ➡️track bird flu & other disease outbreaks ➡️manage nuclear weapons ➡️conduct lifesaving cancer research ➡️fight wildfires ➡️ensure planes land safely ➡️& more. It doesn’t "cut waste." It creates inefficiency & costs MORE down the line.
Trump is firing thousands upon thousands of VETERANS for no reason at all. These men & women put their lives on the line for our country and they do critical work, many of them serving other veterans! Trump and Musk’s reckless firing spree is beyond despicable.
More gut-wrenching data that shows what happens when Republicans ban abortion: more women hospitalized for PREVENTABLE conditions, more women miscarrying, more women dead. Republicans want to control women's lives and bodies—no matter the consequences. www.propublica.org/article/texa...
