For anyone who is worried about the communist threat facing America, here is some important information:

No one was eating the dogs or the cats.

No country emptied it's asylums or prisons into America.

Schools were not setting up litter boxes for kids.

America did not win the war in Iran over 30 times. It lost.

Other countries didn't pay the tariffs, you did.

DOGE didn't cut $2 trillion from the budget. It cost more than the tiny amount it did cut.

There is no communist threat. Not one person who has won a primary for Congress this year is a communist.

A political party that can't run on its record because it has been such a massive failure resorts to baseless fearmongering. That's all.

MYTH: Healthcare fraud only happens in blue states like California. 

FACT: Trump’s OWN DOJ just released a report finding the TOP 2 STATES for fraud in recent enforcement actions are led by Republican Governors!

What Joyce Carol Oates wrote to Elon Musk on Twitter. I am told it rattled him. I love it.
“So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates – scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend’s or relative’s accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the ‘most wealthy person in the world.’”

Elon Musk once jokingly offered to end World Hunger, asking how much it would cost as if it would be some incalculable number.
When the UN replied saying 6.6 Billion would be enough to immediately end Famine for the year he never responded, and a few months later bought Twitter for 44 Billion.

You struggle and suffer because people like him are allowed to exist, not because your neighbor is an immigrant.

The irony of Republicans controlling all branches of government while

bankrupting the country, starting a war, sending money to fraudulent programs, violating the Constitution, giving corporations immunity...

but arguing that the biggest problem we have is “stolen elections.”

99 years is the amount of prison time a doctor in Alabama will receive if they perform an abortion.

6 months is the amount of prison time you will receive if you rape an unconscious girl next to a dumpster.

Wake up.

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

The maximum amount a person can donate to a candidate is $3500.

Miriam Adelson just donated another $25 million.

Citizens United didn’t give corporations “free speech.”

It let billionaires buy elections and legally bribe politicians.

End Citizens United.

John C. Reilly: “Why aren’t people on the right wing concerned about human rights? They’re human too. Elon Musk says don’t be fooled by the empathy trap. Empathy is not a trap, empathy is a superpower. It’s what makes human beings exceptional, our ability to look outside ourself”

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

Republicans looked the country in the eye and made a promise. When they rewrote the food stamp program last year, they said children would not be touched.

Pregnant women would not be touched.

Families with young kids would not be touched. They said it on the House floor, on the record, in front of everyone.

A year later we know the truth.

More than 776,000 children have been cut off from food assistance. In the states that track participation by age, kids make up nearly half of everyone who lost benefits.

These are kids who went to bed hungry because a politician wanted a talking point. 

We must be a country that feeds its children. We used to believe that was the bare minimum. Take care of the kid who is hungry through no fault of their own.

The people who broke that promise should have to answer for it, and in November they will.

They’ve arrested more people for touching the peeling paint at the Reflecting Pool than they’ve arrested from the Epstein files.

FBI shows up to interrogate a U.S. citizen at his house—for writing an anti-ICE social media post.

"This is about comments that you posted online," said agent.

Orders homeowner to stop recording—refuses to even tell him which comments.

Agent wearing unique World Cup uniform to indicate he is currently assigned to work with ICE on immigration issues.

Craig Brittain has been actively documenting and participating in protests at the Delaney Hall ICE detention facility in Newark, New Jersey.

His social media posts videos of demonstrations, conflicts with agents, and calls for the facility’s closure.

Murray: Is it true that people making under $184,000 pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate?

Dahl: Yes

Murray: And the rate for someone making $1,000,000?
Dahl: 2.2%

Murray: So, a 12.4% tax for people making less than $184,000, but 2.2% for a millionaire or .0002% for billionaires.

SINCE THE OVERTURNING OF ROE V WADE, ABOUT 400 WOMEN HAVE BEEN CHARGED WITH PREGNANCY RELATED CRIMES......

THE AMOUNT OF MEN ARRESTED IN THE EPSTEIN FILES 0 🤬😤

ABSOLUTELY REPULSIVE 🤬😤

Alligator Alcatraz is closing after one year and wasting $1B to house 1400 immigrants. That's an eye-popping $714,285 per occupant. Everything this administration does is filled with fraud and waste. https://t.co/3DoG1YTjTh

George H.W. Bush kept his assets in a blind trust, as did Bill Clinton. Neither Obama nor Biden traded stocks or bonds while in office. 3,700 trades is probably more than all the trades of all the presidents until now. And he is trading stocks that are affected by his decisions. A walking conflict of interest, at the least, and perhaps insider trading. Just as members of Congress should not be able to trade stocks, so too the president. https://t.co/yDqVXWfDgc

This is not normal.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Amazon cut 30,000 jobs & got a $7.8 billion tax break

Meta cut 8,000 jobs & got an $8 billion tax break

PayPal cut 4,800 jobs & paid $0 in federal income taxes

Disney cut 1,000 jobs & paid $0 in federal income taxes

Corporate tax breaks don't create jobs. They enrich the 1%.
