Pretty sure no one will notice, but just in case...I'll be on Twitter a lot less for a while. My sweet cat Olivia is very sick. They don't know what's wrong yet, but I spend all my time taking her to the vet, googling her symptoms, making homemade cat food & tryna get her to eat.
I reject this Republican budget.
I reject it not just mathematically but morally.
In scripture Jesus says “whatever you did to the least of these, you did to me.”
This budget steals from those with the least so the rich can get richer. I find that rotten, mean, and immoral.
BREAKING: Senator Adam Schiff just announced he is formally opening an investigation to see if members of Donald Trump’s Administration illegally profited off of today’s stock market shenanigans. Retweet to make sure every American sees this.
BREAKING: China, moments ago has just launched the first weapons to fight back against Trump’s tariffs.
China’s Central Bank has just asked state-owned banks to reduce their US Dollar purchases.
This will do what Trump hates most… raise US interest rates.
Everyone loses when you elect a conman crook who bankrupted 6 companies.
Retired 4-Star Navy Admiral and former Navy SEAL William McRaven on Donald Trump: "Through your actions, you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation."
RETWEET if you stand with Admiral McRaven!
So predictable: tax cuts for billionaire donors; benefit cuts for people on Social Security — how the billionaires loot our country (what, not rich enough already, fellas?).

The REAL story on Pam Bondi, Trump University, and Trump's $25,000 payment to Bondi:
1/ In August 2013, I was at the NY AG, and Bondi was Florida AG.
On August 24, 2013, I filed the NY AG's prosecution of Trump University and Donald Trump, for $42 million in fraud. 🧵
As we continue to try to get the full truth out about what’s happening in this country, I encourage you to watch @cspan.
On yesterday a colleague had a bill in markup entitled “dismantle DEI.” In explaining why the bill was needed, multiple white R men argued that they are being “oppressed.”
I didn’t bring race into anything… THEY DID & always do & then they twist
history & dilute the definition of words.
All you fools who voted for the orange disgrace because he told you he’d make you more money just got that promise shoved up your ass. A TRUMP appointed judge just made a ruling that said your corporate employer can make you work overtime, BUT DOESN’T HAVE TO PAY YOU FOR THE OVERTIME. So, my question to you morons is this…… how is putting this lying asshole into power working for you ?
Linda McMahon, Trump’s choice as education secretary, LIED and said that she had a bachelor’s degree in education on a questionnaire for a Connecticut Board of Education post. She resigned from the education board one day after the Hartford current told her that they were going to write a story about her false claim. Her excuse was that she “thought” she had a degree in education. 🤦🏽♂️
You can’t make this stuff up.

Anyone who follows me tonight where the skies are blue, I will follow you back -- and make sure we can all find one another.
I am continuing the fight here -- but an escape pod is always a good idea.
RT and help me spread the word?

NBC News confirms:
A woman told the House Ethics Committee earlier this year that she once saw Matt Gaetz have sex with a minor.
The woman's lawyer says she testified before the Committee "that she witnessed Rep. Gaetz having sex with a minor at a house party in Orlando in 2017." https://t.co/VcT8dA5epv
This is why the entire narrative about Dems losing touch with the working class while Trump apparently showed he cares for them is so infuriating.
Biden tried to give extra pay to 4 million workers. A Trump-appointed conservative judge just blocked him.
No blowback for Trump.
Pete Hegseth’s tattoos are the ones that white nationalists get. Federal law enforcement know these symbols well. Hegseth was banned from national guard duty at Biden’s inauguration for those tattoos. The Senate should consider this disqualifying for a nominee for Secretary of Defense…
Trump judge throws out Biden’s overtime rule…for decades companies have profited massively by putting people on salary and requiring many more hours. Biden made them raise the pay to 58k to avoid overtime payments. Trump had it 35k. Trump judges screwing workers again. 45-70 hours for 35k. Fk that💩
He said he was going to buy 55,000 Bibles with taxpayer money and force every public school teacher to teach from it. Now he’s holding a $60 Trump Bible for his official announcement. Christian Nationalist Grifting.
