A Political Power Grab Redirected Funds for North Carolina’s Sexual Abuse Survivors. Women in Crisis Paid the Price.

Trump and “voters” nominally are the easiest targets for blame and yet to me, I will never not be the most mad at Joe Biden and Congressional Democrats for attempting to “move on” or “do a unity” instead of doing the hard but critical work of securing our government and preventing authoritarianism.

Pretty damn good framing for Dems
How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million.
How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65
Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

Not a single person should be surprised by this. They told you they would do it. Remember Project 2025?

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

I was brought up deeply religious and it boggles my mind how everything the Republicans are doing squares with their supposed beliefs. That's not how I was brought up. What flavor of Christianity turns it's back on the less fortunate. Hell my atheist ass is more Christian than so called christians
