Within the last year, Republicans reduced Medicaid funding by nearly $1 TRILLION, nutritional assistance grants by $190 BILLION, and diverted $500 BILLION from public schools.

Over $1,700,000,000,000 in cuts.

And apparently, for Republicans, that $1.7 trillion isn't enough.

These are all programs that Trump has cut funding for and I’m curious where all this money went! Why aren’t we asking questions. Why isn’t Congress asking questions! 🤬

A New York City gallery has transformed 3.5 million Epstein files into nearly 3,500 printed volumes — creating what organizers call the “Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room” in Manhattan’s Tribeca neighborhood.

🚨 🇺🇸MAJOR BREAKING: They are marching across the Edmund Pettus Bridge again.

61 years after Bloody Sunday. The same bridge. The same fight.

Today in Selma, thousands are gathering at the spot where Alabama state troopers beat peaceful Black marchers in March 1965.

That beating shocked the country into passing the Voting Rights Act five months later.

This week the Supreme Court finished gutting it.

Concerning Social Security payments, my contributions were made for over 40+ years on every salary I received. The Social Security check is now (or soon will be) referred to as a "Federal Benefit Payment?"
(I'll be part of the one percent to forward this.)
I am forwarding it because it touches a nerve in me, and I hope it will in you. Please keep passing it on until everyone in our country has read it. The government is now referring to our Social Security checks as a "Federal Benefit Payment." This isn't a benefit. It is our money paid out of our earned income! Not only did we all contribute to Social Security, but our employers did, too. It totaled 15% of our income before taxes.
The government didn't have a referendum to ask us if we wanted to lend the money to them, and they didn't pay interest on the debt they assumed. And recently they've told us that the money won't support us for very much longer.
But is it our fault they misused our investments?
And now, to add insult to injury, they're calling it a "benefit", as if we never worked to earn every penny of it.
Just because they borrowed the money doesn't mean that our investments were a charity!
Let's take a stand.
~ We have earned our right to Social Security and Medicare. ~ ~ Demand that our legislators bring some sense into our government.
~ Find a way to keep Social Security and Medicare going for the sake of that 92% of our population who need it.
~ Then call it what it is: Our Earned Retirement Income.

🚨 New Mexico has become the first state to make public universities tuition free for all.

Nearly every state Republican tried to block this change.

Seniors came out for No Kings Day. Retirement communities showed up.

8 million Americans across 3,300 rallies in all 50 states — including the people who have lived long enough to recognize what they’re looking at.

These are not first-time activists.

These are people who remember Vietnam. Watergate. Iran-Contra. The Iraq War.

People who have watched presidents come and go for 60, 70, 80 years.

And they got out of their chairs.

A federal judge just ruled that videos of DOGE staffers must stay up — and they are devastating.

Under oath, they couldn't define DEI. They admitted they never reduced the deficit. And they wiped out $100 million in humanities grants — including a Holocaust documentary — using ChatGPT.

The regime tried to bury this. It didn't work.

🚨Republican Congressman Mike Lawler held a town hall in Rockland County, New York.

Veterans stood up and told him exactly what they thought of him and Trump.

Lawler had them removed. That made it worse. The crowd turned on him. He had to leave.

These are not protesters. These are veterans. People who served. Who buried friends. Who know what war costs because they paid it personally.

They looked a Republican congressman in the eye and said what they thought.

He called security.

Can we get this video of the #NoKings marches tweeted 1000 times??

Let’s show the world that America says NO to Trump!
