🚨BREAKING: Rep. Maxine Waters and other Democrat Congress members are staging an insurrection at the Dept of Education over Trump and Elon Musk, but they’re getting the door slammed in their faces.
Just two weeks ago, everyone was screeching about China stealing all of our data through TikTok, but now Elon steals it and you MAGA crisis actors are OK with it?
That's some fucking bullshit.
A larger crowd showed up today to protest Trump’s presidency than were there for his last inauguration. In cold weather. They didn’t erect gallows, they didn’t break doors and windows. They didn’t smear feces on walls. This is what a peaceful protest looks like.
Any survivor of assault or abuse in the Senate who votes to confirm Hegseth is a disgrace.
Anyone who thinks he's not a security risk is an imbecile.
Anyone who believes he's qualified shouldn't be allowed to operate a vehicle.
This bigoted attention monger really won't help her constituents who are suffering with high rates of DV and mortality rates and will wear the title of survivor while bending over for an adjuticated r*pist.
I'm a veteran. I'm a woman. I'm an assault survivor. And if I ever am in the same room with Nancy Mace ever again, I will take it outside.
That woman is ignorant beyond measure.
Jasmine Crockett has much more patience than me. Bless her. Her constituents are lucky to have her.
Nobody:
Nobody at all:
Nancy Mace, banging pots and pans for attention: I'M A SURVIVOR WHAT ABOUT WOMEN'S RIGHTS WHAT ABOUT BATHROOMS
Meanwhile, her state is among the worst for women's safety, women's m*rder rates, and children's safety.
Representative Biggs from Arizona introduced HR 7 for women's health care that includes the following language: "...health care for women should also address the needs of men" and I need everyone to pay attention to the legislation being put forth while Tr*mp does his bullshit.
...negatively affect millions of Americans and empower bigots using minority populations to distract from the fact that they are not solving the real problems Americans face.
Please don't fail us on this.
Begging @SenatorBennet to take a stand and vote NO on NDAA unless the language involving gener affirming care for military families and retirees is removed and to rally other Senators to do the same.
If this passes, it opens the door for similar legislation that will...
@KyleClark She also voted to pass H.R. 5009 yesterday for the FY25 NDAA that included a ban on gender-affirming care for TriCare recipients—which are military families and retirees.
LGBTQ+ veterans, servicemembers, and their families to access equitable Healthcare and, ultimately, rights that are at risk.
We have so many military folks in Colorado who will be negatively affected by this policies.
Show up for us.
@RepJoeNeguse Please vote NO on H.R. 5009 for FY25 NDAA due to the anti-trans language that could take decades to roll back & open the door for further politization of healthcare access needs for LGBTQ+ servicemembers, their families, and retirees. This is unnecessary and cruel.
Thank you, Rep. Neguse!! @RepCaraveoMD and @RepJasonCrow, was disappointed to see the affirmative vote on this bill that included language that would hurt military families and retirees using TriCare.
I hope you show up for us in 2025, as this will make it that much harder for
@RepCaraveoMD Please vote NO on H.R. 5009 due to anti-trans language that would effectively codify barring gender affirming care for military servicemembers, families, and retirees. This language is not necessary for the bill and should be scrubbed.
In 2017, I paid Cards Against Humanity to protect a pristine plot of border land from Trump’s racist wall. But then, an even richer, more racist billionaire—Elon Musk—stole my land & dumped his shit all over it. @ElonMusk owes me $100. #ElonOwesMe100Bucks https://t.co/rDGF9zJDiq
