“We will never cut Medicare.” Then Republicans passed a bill that triggers hundreds of billions in Medicare sequestration risk and shortens the trust fund horizon. Then they kill the Part D premium subsidy so drug coverage costs more for millions of seniors starting 2027.

Maybe don’t call them Democratic socialists. Maybe we are FDR Democrats or New Deal Democrats. The idea is we need a party that looks out for the people again.
Part D subsidy changes hit in 90 days. Seniors pay more at the pharmacy, pharma companies pay nothing. Trump admin says it's not a "cut" — tell that to retirees whose copays just tripled. Call your rep: block Medicare cost-shifting now. #Pinks #SheShed #ProudBlue #OneV1
Congressman Jim McGovern nailed it: Republicans’ latest “everything is Communist” talking point isn’t a message it’s a panic alarm. Needlessly slapping the “Communist” label on anything they don’t like is the oldest trick in the fearmongering playbook. #USDemocracy #Pinks
BREAKING: The U.S. and Saudi Arabia launched joint airstrikes on Iran-backed militia targets in Iraq after more than 30 IRGC-directed drone attacks over the past 72 hours, per CENTCOM. The statement from CENTCOM comes just hours after Iranian strikes targeted a U.S. base in Jordan.

😳 Rep. Lieu explodes on Mike Waltz: "You don't even know how many US troops were wounded in this Iran War! Shame on you! You are the US ambassador and you don't even know how many US troops are wounded! You should be ashamed! You should resign!"
Holy shit! Sen. Peters had enough of Hegseth’s bullshit. Imagine asking taxpayers for billions more during an “utter and complete failure” of a war. When Hegseth couldn’t defend it, he acted like criticizing the strategy was insulting the troops. Peters called him out.
OSSOFF: When you declared victory, were those accurate statements? HEGSETH: It certainly was a historic military victory over Iran OSSOFF: Had Iran's military been rendered 'combat ineffective for years to come?' HEGSETH: They had 160 naval vessels--- OSSOFF: You need to answer the question.
Murray: Why exactly are billions of dollars more for the National Guard and this administration's illegal strikes in the Caribbean urgently needed for the Iran war? Hegseth: Because of the gross negligence and neglect of the Biden administration
Murray: "He has told us over 40 times now that a deal is near and the war will be over soon. But now he's asking for $70 billion more and for us to just trust him it'll work out."
Trump’s governing strategy in one sentence: Cut healthcare for people who need it most, then call it “fighting fraud.” Americans deserve better! Republicans always seem to find money for tax cuts and ICE raids but not for healthcare. #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/AlpC_hW-gRvC...

👏👏👏. We need more standing up to these data centers. You can hear the ringing in the background. There are surely ways to make these safe for the communities and the environment. Until that time, there should be a complete moratorium. #SheShed #ViVaHerAlliance

Sen. @schiff.senate.gov to Todd Blanche: You’re sacrificing everything you believed in.
ICE has shot and killed 10 people since Trump came back into office. 2 more in the last week. In addition, 50 people have died in ICE detention. ICE has become a killing machine. We cannot let this feel normal. It isn't.
Todd Blanche is leading the most egregious cover-up in American history. He cannot be confirmed as Attorney General. We need an AG who’s serious about investigating and prosecuting criminals in the Epstein Files.
Yes, this is a direct attempt to seize the Midterms. An attempt so many have told Americans about for a long time. This is fascism. It is here, it’s been here and our Republican lawmakers are failing us in this moment because they are fucking cowards!
