Last week, Senator Jon Husted claimed that the people who are losing coverage due to GOP budget cuts don't "deserve Medicaid." This erases the millions of people who rely on Medicaid, including older adults who aren't yet old enough for Medicare and many nursing home residents!

Elon Musk says we need to eliminate "entitlements." He's wrong. Social Security and Medicare are earned benefits that we PAID for. It's OUR money, not his.

Dr. Oz's recent declaration that the Administration wants to keep us to delay retirement is proof that they're not even trying to hide the fact that they're going to raise the retirement age. Well, we're watching and paying attention. And we promise that we'll continue to fight back.
According to Scott Bessent, being upset that Americans are dipping into savings to pay for necessities like gas and groceries is a "doomer view." Most retirees live on a fixed income. We MUST elect a Congress that will bring DOWN the cost of food, utilities, gas, and medicine.

@repstevenhorsford.bsky.social is right: "Social Security is not a political toy."
Today, Trump lied (again) about Social Security, repeating Elon Musk's BS about 125-y/o people collecting benefits. Reality: Trump and DOGE decimated the SSA, and his tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy are robbing Social Security of billions in revenue.
Last week, billionaire Scott Bessent said Americans hadn't paid that much more for gas since the war with Iran started. Billionaires might not notice the difference, but the rest of us are making tough choices to make ends meet. We need to elect a Congress that will lower prices for all of us.
"I don't think about Americans' financial situation. I don't think about anybody." Trump said it: He doesn't care about Americans struggling to pay for basics like food and gas while he spends billions on a war of choice. No one voted for this and Americans deserve better.
On Monday, SCOTUS upheld the law requiring Medicare to negotiate lower prices for prescription drugs, helping many older Americans afford their medications. Every single Congressional Republican voted NO on this law. Alliance Executive Director Richard Fiesta breaks it down.
Yesterday, Michigan Alliance President Jim Pedersen spoke to WNDU as he and neighbors rallied outside Rep. Tim Walberg's office, calling out his votes to cut to Medicare and Medicaid and demanding he act to keep Social Security solvent. Check out a snippet of the interview ⬇️
Today, Alliance Executive Director Rich Fiesta appeared with House Ways and Means Dems in support of a resolution investigating DOGE's mishandling of sensitive Social Security data. This was a grave breach of public trust, and those responsible must be held accountable. Watch his full remarks ⬇️

It happens all the time. Establishment Democrats insist a vapid, uninspiring, corporate-backed candidate is "electable." Progressives warn that working class people won't come out for this. Then, when the Dem loses, progressives get blamed. Don't look at us - look in the mirror.
Iran’s meme factory just gave America the most accidental bipartisan image of 2026: Trump shaving Netanyahu while the “Epstein Files” poster hangs in the background. AI propaganda has officially reached the barbershop phase of geopolitics. Even satire abroad now understands dependency optics better.
And here’s why negotiations with Putin remind @mcfaulmike.bsky.social of growing up in Butte, Montana.
A majority English Gov't in Westminster with all the power between their fingers should NEVER be allowed to determine what does and does not happen to Scotland or Wales These are countries with their own freedom, rights & resources The English love to divide and conquer all, no matter who they are
The most corrupt SCOTUS in the history of America can’t even hide it anymore. The RACISM is in the open in 2026. Make that make sense!!

Add no felonies as a qualification for POTUS 🇺🇸 “This, sir, is my great objection to the Constitution, that there is no true responsibility and the preservation of our liberty depends on the single chance of men being virtuous enough to make laws to punish themselves.” Patrick Henry June 5, 1788
