They’re Uninsured After Obamacare Became Too Costly. - KFF Health News. Iran War cost ($30 Billion) plus the extra Trump got for Immigration Control and Homeland Security ($70 Billion) is more than the cost of healthcare insurance for those who need it. https://t.co/S5pN1EqYAv

There's A Word For What John Roberts Has Been Doing On The Supreme Court - HuffPost. Presently, Pennsylvania is not threatened with redistributing. Your safeguard is to elect Democratic state Representatives and Senators to preserve fair voting districts. https://t.co/PgpBlzCHM8

Republicans Unveil Map Carving Up Tennessee’s Majority-Black House District https://t.co/32QEcVrqyn via @NYTimes

MAGA wants to take away every seat they can from black voters- with support from the Supreme Court. First they bludgeoned the Voting Rights Act to get the pathway.

Hegseth Strikes Two Black and Two Female Officers From Promotion List- He tried to get the Army to remove them from the list, but the Army refused, citing their exemplary service and leadership. Hegseth bias revealed!!

Today John Fetterman voted for another of Trump’s chosen appointees. Will this one be the first competent administrator who believes in the Constitution, or will he toe the MAGA line? https://t.co/pA2jQbO16p

And this goes right along with the USPS news that mail service is already being slowed down . Here’s their advice:
Expect longer transit: Plan for bills, checks, and letters to take up to 5 days, or longer during peak seasons. https://t.co/3xAVj221TC

“Be careful what you wish for, for the gods may grant it.” Trump wanted a military excursion to distract from the Epstein revelations. Instead, he got a war filled with deadly entanglements and economic disarray.

In my Econ 101 class, I learned that progressive income taxes were the fairest, and sales taxes and Social Security taxes were regressive. It’s time to increase or eliminate the cap. https://t.co/7oGuXMcFvj

[Carol Lockard @CarolLockard1]

U.S. Considers Withholding H.I.V. Aid Unless Zambia Expands Minerals Access https://t.co/S0KBPF2H9w via @NYTimes. This is reprehensible and antithetical. People will die because Trump wants to turn lifesaving health care into a bargaining chip.

[Carol Lockard @CarolLockard1]

So they “cooked the books” when they released the 4th quarter numbers. That’s what happens when you fire competent staff, and the president insists on his own perception of what is happening. https://t.co/QLwkbbQjsF

[Carol Lockard @CarolLockard1]

This Reported List Of Pete Hegseth's $94 Billion Shopping Spree Has The Internet Reeling - BuzzFeed. The Trump Administration has the nerve to argue that the Department of Homeland Security doesn’t have enough money, and TSA agents go without pay. https://t.co/oZ00LFRpcc

[Carol Lockard @CarolLockard1]

https://t.co/VQ6hXlfWEu. This ALL happened without congressional approval. One man decided to do this, in concert with Israel’s leader and a sycophant Secretary of “War”. Decisions of consequence should NOT be made unilaterally by someone who makes knee-jerk decisions.

[Carol Lockard @CarolLockard1]

Judge orders Trump administration to restore slavery exhibits to the President’s House - Philadelphia Inquirer. Truth is the language of real freedom. Thank you Philadelphia for suing to reinstall the truth that the Trump administration sought to hide. https://t.co/N2QNonfAQT

[Carol Lockard @CarolLockard1]

Who does this benefit? A few people who believe there is “widespread voter fraud.” Who does this hurt? Older voters, married women, non-drivers, etc. A strong democracy encourages voting. It doesn’t legislate obstacles to discourage participation. https://t.co/HMlhNNP3Jp

[Carol Lockard @CarolLockard1]

‘So shameful’: backlash as US national monuments conform to Trump’s rewrite of history - The Guardian. PLEASE MAKE SURE REMOVED MATERIALS ARE STORED SAFELY UNTIL THEY CAN BE RESTORED WHEN SANITY RETURNS TO OUR GOVERNMENT. Thanks for trying, Philadelphia. https://t.co/LpI0DrVsaR

[Carol Lockard @CarolLockard1]

One day’s notice to wipe out $2 Billion from effective programs for vulnerable people. There is no limit to the cruelty and whiplash decisions of this administration. https://t.co/MW7JRsB6YZ

[Carol Lockard @CarolLockard1]

The Trump administration plans major shift away from long-term housing for homelessness - NPR Since Trump begrudgingly re-funded SNAP, he found another outlet for his cruelty. Which of Dante’s Circles of Hell includes eternal starvation and homelessness? https://t.co/G09o1vm9hn

[Carol Lockard @CarolLockard1]

Thank you to everyone in Pennsylvania who voted to retain our Supreme Court Justices and preserve Democracy! There is power in numbers! Our work is not done. Voter Registration for 2026 is now open! For more info, go to https://t.co/wfqgA77dic Your vote is your voice!

[Carol Lockard @CarolLockard1]

This is beyond cruelty! Maybe it’s time for a few Democratic Senators to give in and vote for the budget, BUT EVERY SENATOR needs to mention EVERY WAY this Republican budget will hurt Americans. NO ONE BELIEVES THEY WILL NEGOTIATE ANYTHING AFTER IT PASSES! https://t.co/KOgGUBmZjR

Americans see insurance costs surge as health subsidy fight fuels shutdown - The Washington Post. This is why the Democrats are fighting to keep the subsidies! Do you REALLY believe the Republicans will negotiate if Democrats vote to end the shutdown?! https://t.co/udUAeYG4mN
