Dear
@realDonaldTrump
&
@GOP
I worked for 40+ years. FICA for Social Security & Medicare was deducted from every paycheck.
Now you want to cut my EARNED benefits to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.
I say no to that, and no to the GOP in Nov.
Whoโs with me?
#WarOnSeniors
I lost my mom last nite. She worked 30 years w. handicapped kids-gave lots of love but the pay was low. Her last weeks were filled with fear over paying for care. This is wrong. Health & long-term care should be a right for every American. Otherwise we are not a civilized nation.
Dear
@SpeakerRyan
&
@GOP
,
I didn't realize
#Medicare
&
#SocialSecurity
were entitlements. I accidentally paid into them every paycheck for 40 yrs. Pls DM me for my address so you can send me my refund check.
Sincerely
ME (& 65 mil Americans)
You know what else happened in KY this week
@realDonaldTrump
? My mother died less than 24 hours after

said she wasnโt sick enough to continue paying for her care. She died while we fought for her. Turns out she WAS sick enough.

1. How many of you have actually lost a job because an immigrant took it?
2. Now how many of you are about to lose your

Hint to Answers: 1. Very few of you. 2. Many of you.
@SpeakerPelosi
Theyโre STILL removing sorters & mailboxes. Youโre the Speaker of the House and hold the purse strings. Canโt you get a court injunction on him to stop? There must be SOMETHING you have the power to do. He is interfering with our election. Thatโs illegal. Have him arrested!

No. My brotherโs GF is a dean at a nursing college, has a PhD in nursing & refused to get vaxxed bc she valued her freedom & also didnโt trust an โunprovenโ vaccine. She got covid and STILL wonโt get vaxxed. And sheโs teaching people to become nurses. She should lose her job.

@SharonOates2
The fact that the VP is constitutionally the actual President of the Senate is one of the few pieces of knowledge thatโs keeping me off the ledge right now! She will not take any shit from Mitch.
I voted for Hillary. If she were in the WH, I wouldnโt be:
-Fearful of losing my healthcare
-Worried my Social Security will be gutted
-Crying for children separated from parents
-Pissed that our govt. wonโt protect my vote
-Scared SCOTUS will set us back decades

@realDonaldTrump
Or maybe the stock market is reacting to the fact that the Obama economy is slowing down and investors are afraid that the Trump economy will fail like so many of your businesses as reflected by your six bankruptcies.
Men who get blood, lung, bone or liver cancer - or rheumatoid arthritis - can be treated with methotrexate. But now, in many red states, women canโt because the drug could interfere with a pregnancy.

I believe the

We are women. We are seniors. We are Democrats. We are Americans.
We voted for Hillary. And we are pissed the f*ck off.
We will not rest until we

Stop the spin Marco. You've taken millions from the NRA & now you have blood on your hands. You say it's too soon to talk about gun control. So tell us when. Name the number. How many dead children will be enough to have the conversation 97% of Americans want to have?

My kid brother had a fistfight or two that went bad when he was a kid. He might have lost a button off of his shirt. Never did he lose his fingers or, you know, his f*ucking head.

@SenSchumer
Senator, the time for sitting in mtgs w.

@SenatorCollins
Senator, this close to a

vote that could set our rights back decades, perhaps you should have spent your weekend holding town hall mtgs with your constituents. You say you havenโt heard from them but Iโm betting theyโd like to have a word or two with you.
#StopKavanagh
Iโm old enough to remember the attempt on Reaganโs life. The whole nation was shocked & unified in horror. Today an assassination attempt was made on two former POTUSโs and DJTโs Dem โenemiesโ list. And we get crickets and victim blaming. WTF has become of us?!?!?!
#MAGAbomber
@veryblacknews
Iโm so sorry you had to see this. They are horrible - so discouraging to see this from young people. Can only imagine what the parents, who they likely learned it from, are like. Orange Foolius sure has brought more racists out from under their rocks.
I would rather fight in a trench with a transgender service member than sit down to the finest meal with

#TransRightsAreHumanRights
Worked 70 hours/wk for 42 years. Paid taxes. Saved a little to have a modest retirement. These are supposed to be the easy years. Instead we have to fight every day to keep our healthcare. To make sure

@SenatorCollins
The soon to be former Senator from Maine suddenly wants to get to the bottom of things. What a disgrace you are Ms. Collins! Youโre ok spending the next two years as a RepubliKKKan shill, w/o the trust of the majority of your constituents? Perhaps itโs a good time to RESIGN?
Dear
@GOP
We paid into
#Medicare
& SS for decades. If you think you can โquietlyโ cut our earned benefits to pay for billionaires tax cuts ... well thatโs not going to happen. We will be making lots of noise about this before midterms. And seniors vote!
@realDonaldTrump
You donโt give a sh!t about American workers. Weโre about to lose our healthcare, canโt afford to fill our gas tanks - and bc of your trade war 2.6 mil of us may lose our jobs while we pay more for food and goods. You care about nothing but power and enriching yourself.
#G72018
@GOPLeader
No. Itโs about inclusion vs division. About working for 98% of the people vs 2%. About the rule of law vs criminal behavior. Itโs about good vs evil.
The socialism branding is a fascist fear tactic that we see through because GOP believes in socialism when it benefits the rich.
There are 65 million Americans collecting
#SocialSecurity
and 57 million on
#Medicare
. How could ANY of them vote Republican? It is just mind boggling.
I am so f*cking tired of having to beg members of congress every single day to not destroy us. Every fricking day. It's f*cking exhausting. And disheartening.
#RobertMueller
- I'm begging YOU - please hurry!
@realDonaldTrump
If it makes you feel any better we donโt JUST despise you for conspiring w. Russia. Many of us can no longer afford healthcare, prescriptions, gas & food. Youโve locked up babies and are trying to take away our rights. There IS a stain on America. And itโs orange.
#TrumpConspired
@VABVOX
I love this thread. Iโm with you - 65M of us voted for HRC & we were treated like shit by the fake potus, the GOP and the media. Now they want us to make nice. Screw that. The only way I want to reach across the aisle is with a chainsaw.
Sessions is separating immigrant children from parents. An Oklahoma
@GOP
candidate is endorsing euthanizing poor seniors who canโt afford their healthcare. Anyone who thought WWII Germany could never happen again or happen here needs to open their eyes. What are we becoming???
Today I saw why Trump loves
#Kavanaugh
. Kavanaugh IS Trump. A bully with no respect for women, who interrupts and speaks over those he thinks are below him, with a self righteous sense of entitlement. He even pouts with his arms crossed.
To quote Dr. Ford, I am terrified.
@realDonaldTrump
1. Your poll numbers are not good. 2. Itโs not because of a witch hunt. Itโs because youโre a lying, self-serving, incompetent, divisive, unhinged, power-hungry horror causing most Americans to lose sleep every night worrying about losing our rights, healthcare & at times, minds.
In the past 11 months I lost both my parents. It has been devastating-made worse because we spent the weeks before both died fighting
#Medicare
for their care due to
@GOP
cuts.
@NancyPelosi
has fought tirelessly for accessible, affordable healthcare for all & I support her 100%.
@realDonaldTrump
Unfortunately for Canada, Orange Fooliusโs daughter isnโt seeking trademarks there. Which is why fake potus isnโt having a tweeter tantrum about the $357 billion deficit we have w. China instead of picking on our closest ally.
Dear seniors,
In new rhetoric of manipulation & lies,
@GOP
wants you to believe Dems are stealing your

The U.S. we lived in before 11/8/16 is deteriorating. Fake potus is a traitor owned by Russia.

ONLY thing that might work is nationwide demonstrations. Millions in the streets. I pledge hours of work & support to organizers. Let's Do This!
Since

The bottom line on
