Republicans can’t be bothered to negotiate with Democrats to stop your insurance premiums from skyrocketing—but they have no problem with Trump bailing out Argentina with $20B of your money.

So much for America First!
Q: What is the benefit for the US in helping Argentina?

TRUMP: Just helping a great philosophy take over a great country ... we don't have to do it. It's not gonna make a big difference for our country.

Incredible how Cuomo is absolutely DWARFING everyone else in money and spend and yet it’s still close enough that they’re pulling these stops out.

Yep.

Rep. Larson: “By requiring seniors and disabled Americans to enroll online or in person at the same field offices they are trying to close, rather than over the phone, Trump and Musk are trying to create chaos and inefficiencies so they can privatize the system.”

According to a leaked internal memo, Trump and Musk are now set to introduce a destructive, DOGE-driven plan for Social Security.

The Social Security Administration is preparing to add what Trump and Musk are framing as an “anti-fraud” step to claims for earned benefits.

So it appears DOGE has decreed that Social Security administration will no longer provide phone support. At all. This is in addition to shutting down a ton of local SSA offices. www.axios.com/2025/03/17/s...

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted… And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.

Authoritarians don't willingly cede power.

The oligarchs didn't spend billions simply for a brief taste of feudalism.

If you're dreaming of comebacks via midterms and elections, you're kidding yourself.

It will take an uprising.

By trying to prevent it, the democrats are doing their bidding.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

19-20 months from now, Trump will have pushed the economy off a cliff and left the civil service a smouldering husk. If you're a Democratic elected and you think a government shutdown from a CR fight is gonna be the thing voters remember, you need your fucking head examined.

Please, please make your “yes-voting” colleagues understand the stakes! They are selling us out.
Hey folks – my phone system is having some tech difficulties and hanging up on callers that opt to leave voicemails.

Your calls are important to me, so we're working hard to get it up again, but to be clear, I’m a NO on the CR, so if that’s why you’re calling, I hear ya!

Schumer’s decision is an unconscionable surrender that shows he does not have what it takes to meet this moment, and the charade he pulled yesterday makes it even worse. Time for new leadership in the Democratic Party.

Even though you’ll willingly help R’s burn this country down.
This is a team sport. Sometimes, everyone agrees on a strategy you have concerns about. I’ve voted with less than 10 people multiple times.

But let’s be clear — there’s nothing heroic or admirable about green-lighting a billionaire takeover of our country. In these moments, our unity is our power.
