Republicans are cutting Medicare in their budget bill, Speaker Johnson wants a vote today but three Republicans are already a NO, Target sales plummet because of DEI protests, and more.
Thank you, Doug. I keep reminding people that the orange turnip said at the beginning of his last campaign that if people voted for him they would never have to vote again. He meant it. So did Yarvin et al.
Right but in dictatorships there's still elections. They are just rigged. So that's the worst case that could happen. I am hoping and praying by then that the dems figure out some guardrails to make sure its not rigged
Well, since elon has decided he doesn't want to spend any more on this travesty, maybe he won't rig the next election like he rigged this one. Someone else may do it, but that remains to be seen. Fortunately it seems that even some of the bad guys hate trump.
"LOVE will trump the Fear" AND YES, there will be elections so being thinking positive! Do what you can locally to make a Blue Wave in the Midterms in 2026! PLEASE !
No, I don’t think there will be a blue tsunami. Around 40% of Americans aren’t going to show up to vote no matter what happens. Otherwise we don’t really outnumber Republicans who will vote red on anything.
I would disagree. Look at the regions that were normally red and flipped! Oklahoma and even the FL 2 districts that were red even though still won red by completely different points over 12 or more since Nov last year. Look at the Wisconsin one too, that is also blue.
These are important signs. Let’s hope we can keep this up. Where I live in rural Virginia, I see no reduction in support for the orange psychopath. The more outrageous his behavior becomes, the more they cheer him on. They love it. There will be some places where we can win the elections, but not many.
They don’t understand policy cause and effect. They’ve been conditioned to praise Trump for anything and everything he does, and blame the libs for their self caused demise. They were targeted precisely for their ignorance. They lack the humility to ever admit they were wrong.
Look at 2018 and when the Dems gained 40 seats in the house. It was supposed to be a red tsunami!! This is a much worse Trump regime than before. So as history goes….
That's what scares me. My partner and I have been doing a lot of protests - 4-5 a week. The protests get a lot of thumbs up and horns honked, a few thumbs down or middle fingers, but the majority of people just drive by looking straight ahead with no reaction whatsoever. Those people scare me. Those are the people who didn't vote, who don't pay attention to the news or politics, and who probably won't vote next time either. I don't understand it, I truly don't. But there it is.
I am trying to comprehend how usa sends millions weekly to foreign govts YET they want the pennies taken from our tax dollars that are meant for OUR helathcare and retirement. What am i missing?!
I fear especially for women of child bearing age... And tRump n Crew's encouragement of violent behavior, esp. against women and ethnic minorities!!! We're staring in the face of civil war.
I believe they're trying to provoke us into a civil war. Anyone unaligned with their agenda is canon fodder. Although they may not realize it, magats like Proud Boys, Christian Nationalists, and Oath Breakers are also canon fodder, collateral damage.
It is very similar. I feel that we can’t give up. This is just about to get hard even on maga. MAGA is going to find out soon. It will be hard on us too. But we NEED for maga to feel the pain.
I pay 184.00 dollars every month for Medicare. If they cut my Medicare I want my damn money back!! They need to stop stealing our money. They are cutting all our life savings programs. They are not saying where all the money that was appropriated to these programs are going since they cut them and fired thousands of people.
Our benefits are on the chopping block for the rich people is so bad. It is something that everyone of us should remember always. They did not lift a finger for anyone. We need to put their feet to the fire. It is pathetic how they treat us. And the biggest is trump. God please stop him and musk.
Had the same thought - who are these people repping that 42%?! And while I am angry at those that are uneducated and/or selfish and voted for this, I also recognize that as those that did vote change their minds, we have to welcome them in - at some point we have to come together. Being mean to those that have gone through the FAFO is not going to help anything. I digress - who are these 42% of people!?
These motherfuckers are POS. Not only have we been trying to save Medicaid, they are cutting 500 billion from Medicare. Everyone that is working here are paying into Medicare so in essence, you are taking a portion of your paycheck and paying Elon Musk. How does that sit with you. So not only are we closing nursing homes and rural hospitals and taking food out of children’s mouths, people in your family, possibly parents, grandparents, and maybe yourself, are getting the Medicare cut. It’s fucking immoral and utterly disgusting.
Exactly, that money does not belong to the Federal Government. That money belongs to us. They are literally flat out planning on stealing money from every working person in the country.
Also, I am one of those people who desperately needs her Medicare. I physically disabled and can no longer work. I used to work for the evil corporation of health insurance. I loved my job because I actually got to speak to people all over the world. And when I was told I could no longer do that job I was devastated, and now they are going to do a full on bank robbery of the money that I paid for the services I currently need. I devastated again. I will be protesting on June 15, in Las Vegas. Now that I have my power chair that I couldn’t wait until my doctors got off their asses to get approved by Medicare. My wheels on my manual chair were literally falling off. So I saved for 2 years to get a power chair (so I don’t have to have my husband push me all the time) to order this great chair from Temu of all places for $510. It really is a wonderful chair and now I also have a little Independence, and, can leave the house on my own. I can even walk my newly adopted dog on my own too.
Yep. FICA is SS and Medicare. I just found out about Medicare from Aaron last night. I was up early this morning watching these monsters and they just don’t give a f**k.
Sal,Iagree 100%.What is the strategy to take down Musk,Voight,Trump.Do you think those people who will be affected by the cuts will fight back or just complain and watch their lives go in the toilet. You know Trump,as Hitler is only interested in a "white aryan nation"and he is hoping the poor whites,minorities all die.
Well, Musk is gone. He has said he’s not getting into politics anymore. Maybe because his car company is in peril.
I belong to Adam Kinzinger’s Substack and I asked him about this same question and about even having elections in 2026 and how he’s following the Heritage Foundations playbook.
He responded and said there will be elections. He said an important date to watch is Nov. 26th and then the 28th. He’ll probably do a live today or tomorrow and I’ll be able to ask him in person.
I agree with you 100% that he’s following Project 2025. I made phone calls last night and I am signed up for a protest on June 14th and I’m probably going to DC on June 6th. I know Adam is on it because he’s been traveling the US meeting with people.
I was hoping to hear something we could do now. Republicans and this moron are disgusting and it just seems to get worse everyday and I know we all want to do something more.
I don't think Musk is really gone. He's still involved,but said he was leaving just to take the heat off.It should be the aim of everyone effected,that taking down Musk and sending him back to South Africa,and shaming all those who drive Tesla's.
No, he’s gone. Rep Jasmine Crockett had an interview I think on Mon in her stories of Musk being asked about his role in Government and would he get involved again in politics and it was like he was stuttering. He said he didn’t think he was going to donate anymore to the Republican Party and then was asked about politics, he said he wasn’t sure he would get involved anymore.
I don’t want that POS going back to South Africa. He stole all our data and I want the POS in jail for the rest of his life. His minions might still be lurking but Russel Vought took DOGSHIT over. There’s still Tesla takedowns every weekend down here and around the US. Tesla will never recover world wide. That’s where all his money is. That money should all be taken away from him, SpaceX changed to a different name and taken land everything else he owns.
Sal,that is good news.He should know that 84 Million people " Hate him",not dislike but hate. He should be reminded of that every day,call Tesla,remind them,he stole our personal data,we will not forget that .The Tesla takedowns should continue,however Americans have short memories. How the congress can support SpaceX and Booring Co is just another example of politcians being bought off.
That’s Trump supporting SpaceX. I told Adam Kinzinger this morning that I was holding him to his word about elections. He’s been involved a lot traveling all around the country. I was the first one to comment on his Substack this morning. And many people liked my comment and his response. Him and his friends, former congressmen, military members started a group, party maybe, called Country First. They made 1000’s of calls to Republican congressmen last night about this big ugly bill. He’s in this fight with us. I’d definitely vote for him if he was ever to run for President.
Historically? We're long overdue because this shit is cyclical. Unless we find a way to unseat the global autocrats and dictators, many many many will die or be enslaved. Remember 2012? It wasn't just hype. It just didn't go down the way people expected. We're living the Mayan prophecy right now. Somebody got the date wrong. You can look it up on YouTube, but in a video the Mayan elders said, "Nobody asked us" what the prophecies mean. According to them, world leaders will become increasingly out of touch with the masses, which will trigger global protests. The earth also will cry out, heave and hemorrhage in answer to mankind's abuses. There will be a great die off of animals. I'm paraphrasing, of course, but what the elders said over 9 years ago about the Mayan prophesies is now unfolding.
I currently hate this administration with such an intense passion 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
How can SO many Americans not see the damage they are causing? People are going to die…. Of course that will only affect the lower 10% So they don’t care. 🤷♀️
It won't just effect the lower 10%. But Shhh. Let them get the slap they deserve. And, yes, I agree that many are going to die. As an older, disabled woman of color, I expect I'll be at the top of their list of people to bump off. You know, right up there with immigrants.
Yep. They did the same thing when they flooded Black and Latino communities with heroine and LSD. They didn't realize that that flood would flow into their own communities. Another example of chickens coming home to roost.
Midterms will swing when people realize they have been fucked over! How can you screw the lowest 10% of earners. Really and the top 10% get more tax breaks??? We have paid for our Medicare this they are stealing our money! I am so over this fucking no country and bullshit! This circus has screwed everyone who is not part of the cult! It’s the revenge cult! Disgusting. I pray there are at lease four decent republicans who do not bow to trumps bullshit and sociopathic behaviors
Good morning - please Please we need to stop calling this bill “big beautiful bill” it gives it the wrong framing - call it the MAGA Murder Bill @Anat Shenker-Osorio 😉
Many of the repugs in the Rules Committee hearing overnight were calling it the “Big Beautiful Bill Act.” Huh. The Democrats had better names for it - I remember “Big Ugly Bill” and “Big Billionaire Bill” but there were probably others.
Republicans act like it’s THEIR MONEY they’re cutting or spending!!! WHERE does most of the money come from that they’re “controlling?” Answer: we the people!! Time to fire them all for fraud, waste and NOT DOING THE JOB they were elected to!!
Peggy,of course they do. How can you have a "Wealthy white aryan Nation" if many poor whites and minorities still exist.They will cut as much as they can to destroy the underclass and seniors. Soon,peole will really get pissed off,it just Americans a long time to wake up.
I'm screwed along w millions if this passes. I am disabled. On medicare AND medicaid and food stamps. I filed bankruptcy twice due to medical bills before getting Obamacare. I will not be able to get the medical treatment I need. JUST LIKE MILLIONS!!! WE ARE FUCKED.
Midterms will be a blue tsunami in both house and senate. This can hopefully be reversed
What ! You actually think they’ll be elections ??
Thank you, Doug. I keep reminding people that the orange turnip said at the beginning of his last campaign that if people voted for him they would never have to vote again. He meant it. So did Yarvin et al.
Right but in dictatorships there's still elections. They are just rigged. So that's the worst case that could happen. I am hoping and praying by then that the dems figure out some guardrails to make sure its not rigged
The Dems will not figure it out. I am starting to believe that one hand serves the other.
Yea some are corrupt but not all. I love what aoc and Bernie have done at least to make the public aware
So pessimism is thy first name, okay.
Well, since elon has decided he doesn't want to spend any more on this travesty, maybe he won't rig the next election like he rigged this one. Someone else may do it, but that remains to be seen. Fortunately it seems that even some of the bad guys hate trump.
worst case is probably that they get rid of all other parties than their own. one party country, no need to vote.
Since then Orange Hitler Wanna Be has said no he will not try to run again. I saw him say this...not just heresay on the Net.
There will be. Just a matter of will they be rigged or not
Elon has said he will not financially support political candidates in the future...Greaaaat news!
Guess he learned his lesson the hard way.
Of course, he's done so much damage I don't know how long it will take to fix what he broke
"LOVE will trump the Fear" AND YES, there will be elections so being thinking positive! Do what you can locally to make a Blue Wave in the Midterms in 2026! PLEASE !
Republicans are not planning on them.
In Russia and Belarus have elections. They are just rigged
If we are still allowed to vote
We will be. It's just will it be fair that's my question
Republicans will still support him. They will blame democrats
There's no longer reps. Just maga now
You don't see the problem?
Always🙄
If there are midterms! I don’t trust orange man!
Oh I'm sure there will be. I can see them trying to cheat
No, I don’t think there will be a blue tsunami. Around 40% of Americans aren’t going to show up to vote no matter what happens. Otherwise we don’t really outnumber Republicans who will vote red on anything.
I would disagree. Look at the regions that were normally red and flipped! Oklahoma and even the FL 2 districts that were red even though still won red by completely different points over 12 or more since Nov last year. Look at the Wisconsin one too, that is also blue.

The more outrageous his behavior becomes, the more they cheer him on. They love it. There will be some places where we can win the elections, but not many.
Just wait until the fallout from tariffs kicks in... I'm betting on a shitload of outrage from tRump's base.
They don’t understand policy cause and effect. They’ve been conditioned to praise Trump for anything and everything he does, and blame the libs for their self caused demise. They were targeted precisely for their ignorance. They lack the humility to ever admit they were wrong.
Look at 2018 and when the Dems gained 40 seats in the house. It was supposed to be a red tsunami!! This is a much worse Trump regime than before. So as history goes….
let's hope you are right!!! blue tsunami!!!!!

But there it is.
I am trying to comprehend how usa sends millions weekly to foreign govts YET they want the pennies taken from our tax dollars that are meant for OUR helathcare and retirement. What am i missing?!
I hope so!!
🤣 you think there will be future elections, that's hilarious! Apparently you weren't paying attention to what the orange POS said.
One can hope.🤞
We are truly going to be a real life version of Handsmaids Tale… what is happening 😮💨
I fear especially for women of child bearing age... And tRump n Crew's encouragement of violent behavior, esp. against women and ethnic minorities!!! We're staring in the face of civil war.
It's extremely concerning that they are defunding federal programs assisting domestic violence victims. Who does that? Why?
I believe they're trying to provoke us into a civil war. Anyone unaligned with their agenda is canon fodder. Although they may not realize it, magats like Proud Boys, Christian Nationalists, and Oath Breakers are also canon fodder, collateral damage.
A convicted rapist doesn’t care how women are treated.
It is very similar. I feel that we can’t give up. This is just about to get hard even on maga. MAGA is going to find out soon. It will be hard on us too. But we NEED for maga to feel the pain.
MAGA will just blame Biden as usual.
🤮😤
Couldn’t agree more, it’s sickening and honestly terrifying.
We already are…thanks to TX Paxton & 30 other states they can now access every drug prescription prescribed
More like a huge Gotham City.
I pay 184.00 dollars every month for Medicare. If they cut my Medicare I want my damn money back!! They need to stop stealing our money. They are cutting all our life savings programs. They are not saying where all the money that was appropriated to these programs are going since they cut them and fired thousands of people.
They are using the money to pay for tax cuts to the rich. So your life is expendable for money.
Exactly!! They forget we paid/pay for these benefits.
This is what happens when people don't know how govt and budget works, including those in office.
I agree and no one including Democrat politicians are asking this.
Our benefits are on the chopping block for the rich people is so bad. It is something that everyone of us should remember always. They did not lift a finger for anyone. We need to put their feet to the fire. It is pathetic how they treat us. And the biggest is trump. God please stop him and musk.
Shame on everyone who is allowing this to happen. The amount of stress I’ve felt since 47 took office is unreal. Thank you for all you do, Aaron.
Me too i even cried sometimes
Ditto!
Agree
Me too!
Me too, I’ve never had high BP-till now!!!! Like…every damn mfn day!
The fact that his approval rating is still as high as 40 percent is terrifying.
Yes. It’s angering me also. It shows that most Americans are either really really dumb or vile bigots.
Yes and I hope those people get their karma ten fold. They are truly idiots.
Had the same thought - who are these people repping that 42%?! And while I am angry at those that are uneducated and/or selfish and voted for this, I also recognize that as those that did vote change their minds, we have to welcome them in - at some point we have to come together. Being mean to those that have gone through the FAFO is not going to help anything. I digress - who are these 42% of people!?
A lot of wealthy people and the rest uneducated
Right?! I would have never thought there was that much ignorance.
Fox News and Sinclair Broadcasting (conservative media conglomerate)owns all the local news stations), have been pumping out the propaganda hard core.
Like North Korea levels sometimes.
I work with a lot of average every day conservatives, and they don't question what Fox News and others say.
Shit, I JUST had an argument with my MIL that "no, the Biden admin did not abandon two astronauts in space". 🤦♀️
It is because the media lies about what is happening. Maga only hear the propaganda version.
These motherfuckers are POS. Not only have we been trying to save Medicaid, they are cutting 500 billion from Medicare. Everyone that is working here are paying into Medicare so in essence, you are taking a portion of your paycheck and paying Elon Musk. How does that sit with you.

I think that these people who will be affected by the cuts will fight back. They’re not going to roll over and do nothing.
What the fuck is going on in the world
Historically? We're long overdue because this shit is cyclical. Unless we find a way to unseat the global autocrats and dictators, many many many will die or be enslaved. Remember 2012?

It has screwed his cult, too, they just don't realize it yet.
Amen to that!
So sick of this Bull Shit they are just pure evil
Agreed and wish there was an unlike button here!! I am truly terrified every day about this!
I feel you me too 💯
Good morning - please Please we need to stop calling this bill “big beautiful bill” it gives it the wrong framing - call it the MAGA Murder Bill @Anat Shenker-Osorio 😉
Many of the repugs in the Rules Committee hearing overnight were calling it the “Big Beautiful Bill Act.” Huh. The Democrats had better names for it - I remember “Big Ugly Bill” and “Big Billionaire Bill” but there were probably others.
This all makes me sick. Mentally and physically
Yes it does
Republicans act like it’s THEIR MONEY they’re cutting or spending!!! WHERE does most of the money come from that they’re “controlling?” Answer: we the people!! Time to fire them all for fraud, waste and NOT DOING THE JOB they were elected to!!
Do they just want everyone to get sick and die?
Yes they do.
It truly feels like it
They really don’t care if we do. We are irrelevant.
I believe so!
It is eugenics.
Peggy,of course they do. How can you have a "Wealthy white aryan Nation" if many poor whites and minorities still exist.They will cut as much as they can to destroy the underclass and seniors. Soon,peole will really get pissed off,it just Americans a long time to wake up.
Yes, they do. Don't you remember that at the height of covid, they felt the elders could die and it would be okay?
Oh my god how are we still dealing with this man. Covid seems like a lifetime ago….My whole life I have never hated a president until this idiot.
I'm screwed along w millions if this passes. I am disabled. On medicare AND medicaid and food stamps. I filed bankruptcy twice due to medical bills before getting Obamacare. I will not be able to get the medical treatment I need. JUST LIKE MILLIONS!!! WE ARE FUCKED.
Wow. Thanks, Aaron. How you stay sane in the middle of all this shit is a mystery. Glad you do and grateful. Stay safe insofar as possible.
