“We don’t take an oath to a King”….
“We don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator”
“We take an oath to the Constitution.…and we're willing to die to protect it"
- General Mark Milley
#MemorialDay
Mark Zuckerberg built a MASSIVE data center in Georgia
Just hundreds of yards from people’s homes.
Water pressure collapsed. Sinks don’t run. Toilets won’t refill. Homes shake nonstop. Power outages are common
A billionaire gets his servers — working families get steamrolled.
When Howard Lutnick found out he had to testify in front of the Oversight Committee, he gave $5 MILLION to a House Republican PAC.
Shortly after donating, James Comer announced his testimony would never be seen by the public. This is blatant corruption. He should be fired.

The President has made hundreds of millions of dollars in stock trades this year in companies his own Administration regulates — then he uses his platform to influence the market. It's blatant corruption.
Justice Dept is attempting to erase Jan 6 history, by literally deleting its news releases & web pages
But... the internet is forever!
On the left is what Trump Admin posted
On the right is the actual record on Jan 6 rioter who was found guilty of confronting police

I don’t think we have a functioning CDC anymore—RFK Jr’s CDC is now asking volunteers to goto airports to screen passengers for Ebola… to stand in line at airports to look for sick people… unpaid.
Just one week after tobacco giant Reynolds donated $5 million to MAGA Inc. and dined with Trump at his golf club, President Trump directed FDA to authorize the sale of flavored vapes.
This corruption is poisoning our kids and unleashing a new wave of addiction on America.
#BREAKING: Rep Dave Min: “I just want to point out something here, these January 6th insurrectionists, a lot of them had criminal records, a lot of them were guilty of violent crimes before, a lot of them since being released by Donald Trump have gone on to commit additional crimes including child pornography, child sexual assault, rape, assault, these are NOT good people and there are people right now who have gone and done the worst things after being pardoned by Donald Trump, who are now set to receive millions of dollars in payments, and that’s just WRONG.”🤦♀️
On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who gave their lives for this country that we love. It is a debt we can never fully repay, but we must never stop trying. I’ll always be grateful to our fallen heroes and their families, whose sacrifice reminds us of what it means to live for something greater than ourselves.
Black members of Congress are warning that gutting the Voting Rights Act could cost nearly 20 Black lawmakers their seats over time. Which means this fight was always bigger than one election.
Smaller countries with less GDP can do it.
Hundreds of other countries around the world that have free Universal healthcare, and all of them are smaller than the United States too.
So how can all of them find a way and we can’t.
REPUBLICANS…thats it! The only reason we don’t have any of it!
The one that we sent money to and that raised billions?
Where did it go?
Where did the $400M of Venezuelan oil money sitting a Qatari bank go?
When will the GOP wake the fuck up to the fact the President is fleecing the country and using it like his personal piggy bank!
Generation after generation, men and women put on the uniform knowing the risk — and went anyway knowing they might not come home. Knowing their families would carry that for the rest of their lives.
To the families still carrying that weight — I see you. The pain doesn’t go away, but neither does the pride.
Freedom has never been guaranteed. It has to be earned, defended, and sometimes paid for in the hardest way imaginable. Today on Memorial Day, we stop, we slow down, and we remember those who did.
We honor them.
We thank them.
And we work hard to live up to what they died for. Keep the democracy they believed in worth believing in. That is the ultimate tribute for their sacrifice.
Mitch McConnell blocked Merrick Garland for 422 days. Then turned around and confirmed Amy Coney Barrett weeks before an election. The Republicans packed the Court then, but call the idea radical now.
The result: an illegitimate 6-3 Court dismantling voting rights, workers' rights, and reproductive freedom. We need reform now.
Illinois took action to prevent and ban insider trading with online prediction markets in our state.
The most corrupt President in our nation’s history wants to make sure states like ours can’t regulate prediction markets so his family and administration can keep profiting.
Ossoff: "It makes a difference who represents us. When you sent me and Sen. Warnock to the Senate, we capped the cost of insulin at $35. And when Donald Trump and his allies took power again, they threw hundreds of thousands of Georgians off their health insurance. The contrast could not be clearer."
SICKENING—Key officials responsible for leading US research on infectious disease threats have been barred by Trump White House / HHS from speaking directly with the World Health Organization (WHO).
