The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Donald Trump and co-president Elon Musk are shutting down the federal government, piece by piece. And now Republicans have a shutdown bill that would make it worse.

Democrats, You don't need presidential aspirations to lead. You don't need the establishment's approval You don't need to have all the answers People are anxious for the future of our country. Fearful for the fate of democracy. Angry at the oligarchs and their insatiable greed Step up and lead.

Rep. Zooey Zephyr - My Wife - just gave an incredible speech against a drag ban in Montana. It was so strong that a Republican rose to speak passionately against the bill, chastising the sponsor. The drag ban dies in Montana, flips 10+ Republican votes! This is the power of representation.

1. A new Texas bill outright criminalizes being transgender as felony fraud. It is one of the most alarming bills that I have ever seen. Though it stands little chance of passage, its rationale is already being used in other places and by the trump admin. Subscribe to support our journalism.

New Texas Bill Outright Criminalizes Being Trans As Felony Fraud
The bill, brought by legislator Tom Oliverson, likely will not pass. However, it represents a new front in attacks on trans people, and connects with other attempts to label being trans as "fraud."

When you want to know who betrayed our Republic alongside Musk, start here.
A screenshot of a New York Times article titled "The People Carrying Out Musk’s Plans at DOGE," dated February 28, 2025. The article discusses a group called the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), formed by Elon Musk to restructure federal agencies, primarily composed of software engineers with little Washington experience. The mandate of the group appears to be shrinking and disrupting the federal government. Below the text, there is a grid of headshots labeled "DOGE leadership," featuring individuals with red markers on some photos, indicating possible identification or emphasis.

There’s a major shift in U.S. cybersecurity policy. A recent CISA memo removed Russia from its list of priorities, focusing instead on China and local systems. Analysts were told not to track Russian cyber threats.

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

Finally. A major media outlet has finally reported on Trump’s total travel ban for transgender visa applicants seeking the United States. I had to scream for two days to get someone else to report on it. It is NOT just for athletes. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...
the-independent.com
State Department visa policy could bar trans people from traveling to U.S.
Violations could result in travel bans beyond just athletes

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
