Instead of giving the Medicare Advantage corporations a huge rate hike, let’s give all Americans access to a single-payer national healthcare system, like the people in Canada & Greenland have!

Hey, where’s those so-called “waste-cutting” DOGE minions when you actually need them?

Santa Trump and his oligarch-led administration just gave their corporate donors who run Medicare (Taking) Advantage plans an early Christmas present – a $46 BILLION dollar rate hike.

Tell your legislators to vote “NO!” on the SAVE Act, a trojan horse for Christofascist voter suppression

What these patriarchal Christian Nationalist legislators want is a return to government run like it was by the signers of the Constitution – with only the richest White men being allowed to vote.

UPDATE: THE GREAT VOTER SUPPRESSION BILL has just passed through the House! Even more horrible, four Democratic-name-only legislators helped! Reps. Ed Case of Hawaii; Henry Cuellar of Texas; Jared Golden of Maine; and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington state.

How close can they get to their ideal before the midterms? A lot closer if they can pass the SAVE Act, a cynically named elitist bill that’s actually a form of voter suppression against women, poorer American citizens and minorities – all those whom the GOP suspects will vote for Democrats.

Dear President Trump and Vice President Vance,

Thank you for your kind invitation to take us over and subjugate us as a colonial state.

We will pass.

We like our national health care system, and are not interested in learning the finer points of medical bankruptcy, insurance denials, unaffordable medications, and lack of access. We respect science and would prefer to hang with other nations that do so too. In fact, lots of your best scientists will probably be relocating to Europe soon. We ourselves would be happy to offer asylum to the well-trained doctors your states chase out with abortion bans. Abortion has been legal here since 1975.

“The United States Postal Service shall be operated as a basic and fundamental service provided to the people by the Government of the United States, authorized by the Constitution, created by Act of Congress, and supported by the people.” 39 U.S. Code § 101(a)…

…Meaning that our Postal Service does not belong to rich assholes.

From Wells Fargo report – better prices for them, (30 – 140% increase), not for us!

Thank our State Attorney General for fighting back against Musk!

Action 1: Thank our State Attorney General Rob Bonta!

He was part of a 19-state effort lead by NY AG Leticia James to bring unelected techno-fascist Elon Musk and his team of flying monkeys to heel. Just as when we criticize those legislators who seem to have lost their spines in the wash, we also need to THANK those elected officials who have stood up and protected those they serve.

America’s “Crown Jewels” aren’t locked in a tower (Part 2)

TWO actions to tell your member of Congress that they should have walked out with Al.

Don’t waste your stamps on the “Ides of Trump” campaign again!

People are starting to gear up again for an “Ides of Trump” action, where we’re all supposed to send postcards to 47 to express our anger and disappointment.

Please! No! Been there, did that, in 2017 during his first administration! All of our cards, millions of them, ended up in a warehouse somewhere, like that crate in the last scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark, never read and never seen again.

Seriously, even if Trump had asked to read some of them for the hell of it, the tears of their enemies makes dictators happier, not repentant.
