A 3.6% Social Security COLA is a slap in the face to those of us on it with fixed incomes who desperately need a larger increase to pay our medical bills and keep ourselves well nourished. Absolutely OUTRAGEOUS! 🤬

America is at war, and we have a top Trump agent aggressively, repeatedly, and premeditatedly working against U.S. interests and *for* Israeli interests in a way that covers up the murders of Americans and will lead to more murders. This is the Benghazi Scandal on crack cocaine.

Dear People On Medicare, BEFORE you vote. Go to medicare.gov & check your Part D RX plan for 2027 vs. 2026. Mine went up 3x the amount in a YEAR. That is Donald Trump & RFK Jr. REMEMBER that when you cast your ballot!🗳️💙

Billionaire families have spent $1.7 BILLION on the 2026 midterms so far — a 5,200% increase since the 2010 midterms. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day. Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

Not sure if people know Wakefield was trying to sell a competing measles vaccine when he made up his fraudulent study about the MMR. It was only after that failed (because he is a complete fraud) that he started grifting off opposing all vaccines. It’s all just a grift. Antivaxxers are their marks.
