Good post from Hakeem Jeffries on Bluesky

"Republicans have been ordered by their billionaire Puppet Master to end Medicare as we know it. Democrats have 215 members in the House who can stop this extreme effort. All we need is three House Republicans to join us."

Putting the R's on notice in plain language that they will be blamed if anything happens to Medicare and educating people about the stakes of all of this is essential. Glad to see that the (future) Speaker is doing this.

If you haven't followed him yet on BlueSky, do so and give him some support!

So those vulnerable R’s who wish to keep their seats need to be deluged with an outpouring of contact from we the people to remind them supporting such a monumentally evil scheme is their “fork in the road” to electoral oblivion 😡✊🏼And the DNC needs to make the three upcoming special Congressional elections PRIORITY ONE with Musk’s criminal destruction of our government and these plans to gut Medicare and Social Security front and center of our candidates’ campaigns as the best way to stop this decimation immediately!

He's our leader in the House. And possibly this effort will quickly make him Speaker.

I'm just so completely heartsick and disgusted that their jobs in Congress - as protectors of the Constitution - has morphed into lapdogs for crooks and traitors. Musk isn't the least bit American. It would be so uplifting to find the cavalry riding in to save us from these Looters. Who would they be though?
