I wonder how long it will take them to compile and distribute fake footage of today's protests.

GOP Rep. makes a name for herself… as “the female George Santos” - INTO

Besides disgust at what she has to say, Rep. Harriet Hageman set the internet alight for other reasons yesterday.

Seriously? Why do you think the Dems in the Senate keeps voting down the budget? The GOP is refusing to change the healthcare subsidies- not the Dems.

Healthcare costs ARE facing us as millions are going to just lose or be priced out of their health insurance within a couple of months..

A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, our healthcare, and the information we receive. Many are now currying favor with Trump to both avoid accountability and maintain their power. This is what oligarchy looks like.

Today’s a great day to remind everyone that Social Security and Medicare are fully affordable, but Republicans are hellbent on slashing them.

A graphic with a dark background. The text in white and yellow font says, "Republicans claim we can't afford Social Security and Medicare." Between the sentences is a frame from Spongebob that says "meantwhile". The text continues, "They're giving a $40,000,000,000 bailout to Argentina."

Must read thread on the Trump Admin's newest scheme to deny Americans the benefits they're owed.

AltSSA @altssa.altgov.info · 1d

‼️‼️‼️ Got word of a new way the billionaire in charge of SSA is fucking over the American people!!!! TLDR: This will definitely lead to people applying for benefits losing out on money, and probably some hefty lawsuits for attorneys that know what’s up. The long version is gonna be long so let’s go.

I honestly believe that Trump and Miller (and others) have serious emotional problems in addition to their hatred for people of color. They are unwell, and resistant to the very concepts of fairness and reason.

I really don't like to think about RFK Jr. talking about fertility.

I no longer think that Trump supporters are good people. They've seen his cruelty, racism, misogyny, transphobia, his willingness and even eagerness to be vengeful- not to mention his outright lies that hurt millions of people financially and personally. We have too different morals and values.

She's correct, but I still don't trust her.

"We"? Is Trump going to strap on some guns and go get them? 🙄

Can't wait to hear the Repubs accuse that woman of causing him to fall because, of course, the left is violent and hateful.

Once again, Trump weaponized the DOJ- the very thing he falsely accused President Biden of doing.

He is a shameless, petty, vengeful excuse for a man, much less a president.

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."

Post from WH about Chicago "in chaos," showing scene from another state.
