Trump and Republicans in Congress are coming after Medicaid. We won’t let them. TOMORROW: We’re rallying in D.C. to send the GOP a message: NO tax breaks for billionaires on the backs of working families. Join us: bit.ly/3FH9PQM #WelcomeBackCongress
FACT: There is no way to cut $880 billion from Medicaid without kicking millions of Americans off their health insurance.

Trump wants to make the Kennedy Center 80-90s Broadway again. Phantom. Cats. “The president, in an Evita-like photo-op on Monday, stood in the Kennedy Center’s Opera House presidential box, arms outstretched as if there were 100s of fans below him instead of a handful of handpicked board members.”

Early voting has started in Wisconsin, where Elon Musk is trying to buy another election. Winning on April 1 would secure the liberal majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court through 2028. Help us get out the vote for workers’ rights champion Susan Crawford: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Musk's PAC offers $100 to Wisconsin voters in pitch against "activist judges"
The move reflects how Musk is throwing his considerable wealth behind Trump's priorities — including an upcoming election in Wisconsin for a crucial seat on the state's Supreme Court.

“Companies like CoreCivic and GEO Group receive government funding based on the number of people they detain, which is why they lobby for stricter immigration policies. It’s a lucrative business… The more detainees, the more money they make.”

Make no mistake: The endgame of Trump and Musk's attacks on public lands is to sell them off so they can be mined, logged, drilled, and exploited by the ultra-rich. These lands belong to us — the American people — not them. We're not going to let them destroy our natural spaces. #HandsOffOurLands

Closing these federal offices will affect services San Diegans rely on, just to allegedly save “.01% of yearly government spending.” DOGE isn’t increasing efficiency and cutting waste; they’re wreaking havoc on our government.
