My grandfather's service in the Army helped him build a life for our family. All veterans deserve the same opportunity. I joined @repmarktakano.bsky.social to hear from veterans about barriers they face accessing their benefits. We must ensure our veterans receive what they've earned.

Donald Trump has a history of making national tragedies worse. So here's a quick side by side of how one president responds to a national crisis versus how another does.

Thoughts for Pennies: “Boundaries”

I had to get out of my car to see this bullsh*t for myself. Donald Trump is the last person who cares about American workers.

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)

Enjoying! This semester, rather than being primarily a design professor and 'fill-in' team member on a student-run studio, I performed more as design lead while conducting software architecture on this large system-driven game Students had an excellent concept, 'happy to show them it could be real

On the 249th anniversary of Americans declaring their independence from a mad king, We the People organized in defense of our democracy.

almost as if they have been comically disingenuous and incompetent this whole time Trump thinks he’s Thanos (but he’s Loki) the GOP (Chitauri?) think so little of their own constituents, they literally wish their suffering and deaths who are the Avengers? the American people be a super voter 💙

Thoughts for Pennies: “Puzzle Solving”

if you love the U.S. please focus on the GOP or there will be no U.S. right now the GOP in Congress has the Project 2025 "bill" to gut Medicaid, Medicare and crown 47 a king keep calling the Congressional switchboard: "kill the bill" "we will vote blue" 202-224-3121 💙 continue peaceful protests

McGovern: Listen to this quote from Murkowski who just caved and voted for this. "My hope is that the house is going to look at this and recognize we are not there yet."  If you really believe that, why the hell did you vote for the bill?

Thoughts for Pennies: “Better Judgment”

please repost: based on the troll activity, the U.S. Congressional schedule, the polling, the recent elections, and global events... -> this is the time <- the GOP is going to try to ram through the "bill" call, keep calling, protest, push hard "kill the bill" "we will vote blue" 202-224-3121

'trying to understand how the rights of one citizen can be greater than another, or how they can be different at all if a federal judge rules in favor of citizen's rights for the case in front of them, then why must every other citizen do the same in separate cases, or they don't have those rights

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

NEWS: Kenneth Chesebro, "architect" of the 2020 fake electors plot who pleaded to criminal charges in Georgia, has been disbarred from the practice of law in New York, per order issued today by New York appellate court.

If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?

@timmiller.bsky.social: “The fact that you have to have a Secretary of Defense go out on TV and berate the media like they’re children and do all this puffery about the president. To me, it shows a lot of insecurity and just a lack of seriousness in the Pentagon.”

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged. Is it any wonder so many feel abandoned by our economy? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void. This is why we must fix the system.

the "bill" will wreck state budgets and close rural hospitals and our voices are causing GOP infighting this chart from Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) to his colleagues they are worried we're making an impact keep calling: "kill the bill" "we will vote blue" 202-224-3121 💙 continue peaceful protests

Mitch McConnell wants to slash Medicaid hurting seniors, disabled Americans, even veterans. That’s OUR money. That’s THEIR lifeline. This isn’t fiscal responsibility it’s cruelty. We see you, Mitch. And we won’t forget. VC mamasissiesays #MedicaidMatters #FightForCare #PeopleOverProfits

“They’ll get over it” – Mitch McConnell when millions lose their health care and hospitals could shut down. Absolutely heartless. Public sentiment matters. Keep being loud and fighting back. We’re in this together.

Mitch’s constituents should be in the streets protesting now.

Murray to Vought: This should be a yes or no. What I hear is all kind of word salad to make sure you are letting us know that you intend to do things that are outside the intent of the law.

Iran’s highly enriched uranium could be moved in as little as 10 carloads. Do we really have confidence we know where this is? Do we really have confidence it wasn’t moved before our strikes?

Mitch McConnell and Joni Ernst on cutting Medicaid: “They’ll get over it.” “We’re all going to die.” Translation? They know people will suffer. They just don’t care.

Not only were Trump's strikes on Iran reckless and unconstitutional — they also didn't even accomplish his goals. Reactionary attacks don’t work. We need real diplomacy and negotiation to ensure that Iran does not develop a nuclear weapon. www.cnn.com/2025/06/24/p...

Schiff asks if Bove told DoJ lawyers "the planes need to take off no matter what" and Bove obfuscates again saying he doesn't recall. Bove knows that an handful of people can testify to the contrary, so Bove is playing games with Schiff.

What is Trump trying to hide? First he canceled classified briefings. Now he’s trying to stop oversight. The law is clear–Congress must be kept fully informed. We pass the budget & play a role in keeping America safe. As a member of the Intel Committee, I won’t back down.

TAPPER: Republicans are debating a $15m fund for rural hospitals to offset some of the concerns about what the bill does do Medicaid DUCKWORTH: It's like the person setting the fire saying, 'Hey, you know what, we need a fire department!'...Americans did not vote for the 'we're all gonna die' party

Chair Powell confirmed Trump’s dumb trade war is driving the Fed’s forecast of higher inflation. The Fed now sees slower growth AND higher prices not just this year, but for the next two years. Donald Trump is standing in the way of lower rates and lower costs for Americans.

Bondi flips out and refuses to answer after being pressed by @senjeffmerkley.bsky.social on Trump's crypto scheme

Schiff asks if there are notes over the meeting about defying court orders, whether Bove will provide them to the committee, and Bove says he will defer to trump and the DoJ on whether he can. He KNOWS he's caught. Same with the notes from the Eric Adams case. Schiff is doing really well here.

This should be bigger story. Connect the dots… 📌 Rep Khanna asked Defense Sec Hegseth if the Pentagon would obey a federal court order. Hegseth refused to answer. 📌 DOJ whistleblower says officials told staff to ignore judges and deport people anyway. There’s a coordinated plan to defy the courts
