The ongoing incompetence and desire to hurt every day Americans by the White House and GOP is horrible! Stop dismantling programs, research and science departments, and policies that protect the most vulnerable populations. The proposed budget and ongoing executive orders are full-blown cruelty and ignorance. Gutting important, federal departments and policies, like the FDA and CDC, will have far reaching and long-term negative consequences. Americans will die. Save and fully fund Medicaid as well as Medicare and Social Security. I don’t understand this fascination with giving MORE and MORE to millionaires and billionaires. It’s gross and inhumane. The president and Congress work for the people—not for the very wealthy and their donors!! Stop the dismantling of the US democracy; everyone deserves due process. The executive orders and stories about human rights violations are terrifying and showing the White House’s authoritarian desires. None of this is what the founding fathers intended AND surely not what any current democratic country should do. Republicans must find a voice and backbone — seems like the GOP continues to stay silent and kiss the ring. Their silence is appalling. They do not care about constituents, especially those who are black and brown and/or women. And can Democrats band together and find consistent and clear messaging — to prevent further destruction?? I’m waiting.
