A full year of wage gains is gone in four months. Inflation is at its fastest pace in years, driven by Trump's war in Iran. And his response? "I love the inflation." He's not feeling what working families are feeling.

"Those who succeed build their greatness by making consistent progress." Jim Collins Leadership Expert, Author, and Speaker

Ossoff: The hatred that Mike Collins promotes is a relic of the bad old days. Georgia's spirit of tolerance will overwhelm and defeat bigotry, and our defense of voting rights will be so fierce that no plot against the franchise will foil the will of the people.

The important thing for Trump is that he has the power to illegally (secretly) reallocate funding from the Secret Service to his ballroom project.

"Most failures are not catastrophic. You can think through what you would do if these failures came to pass. And then you can shrink the failure enough for that equation to really get you to action." Sukhinder Singh Cassidy Xero CEO

The U.S. military was charged $4,361 for a half inch metal pin that costs $46. Why? Defense contractors—with ties to private equity—are raking in excess profits. Instead of cracking down, Trump's DoD is inviting private equity to be MORE involved in our national defense. youtu.be/_Dl8zdB2klQ?...

I will never stop exercising my constitutional rights to stand up for Minnesotans and the American freedoms we hold dear. My full statement on DOJ’s politically motivated investigation:

The President and his MAGA cult claim they are deporting all of the "illegals" and stopping waste, fraud, and abuse. Debt is $40T. Spending is out of control. The most important decisions for you to make are who you choose as your Government officials. Prices are up because MAGA have raised tariffs.

Following the 2008 financial crisis, #Greenspan testified before Congress and admitted a flaw in his ideology, acknowledging that his assumption that banks' self-interest would prevent them from making destructive, risky loans was wrong. By that time, the damage of #AYNRAND and Objectivism was done.

"Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced." James Baldwin American Writer and Civil Rights Activist

Trump is using his power to dismantle the legacies of the previous administrations and is elevating the people who were at the heart of attacking the Capitol. These are direct and consequential challenges to the rule of #law that continue to reverberate through every layer of the federal government.

Donald Trump needs the appearance of a diplomatic win (or deal) while simultaneously needing to look "tough" to their base (the threats). These two things are politically, economically, and psychologically incompatible. Trump's campaign rhetoric to control markets and religious groups isn't working.

The constant use of polarizing labels like calling critics deranged tempts his cult of followers and supporters to adopt a dehumanizing view of the other side. This creates a psychological reward for aggression and a penalty for moderation. Trump's followers believe he is divinely protected by #God.

Trump tempts people to abandon civic norms in exchange for loyalty to him. By framing every issue as a battle between him and the rest of the world, Trump dominates a cult where MAGA is tempted to prioritize their political identity over their commitment to democratic principles, nations, or facts.

MAGA obstructs dissent by leveraging federal investigations, intelligence-sharing, and funding mechanisms to create personal or political consequences for critics. Government has become an obstacle to free speech and political participation, using legal and bureaucratic hurdles to BLOCK opposition.

Ossoff: Because in our time, what those who build ballrooms and monuments to themselves, who rake in billions through foreign princes while the people's savings vanish, along with their hospitals, what they hate the most is when the people try to hold them accountable at the polls.

Americans and people all around the world are asking, "What does the U.S. want to take or control, and who will be destroyed in the process?" #Corruption #Abuse #Dominance #Evil #Immorality

In essence, the Trump Reflecting project demonstrates that without addressing the foundational structural leaks and the limitations of a large, shallow, stagnant body of water, cosmetic improvements, no matter how costly, face a real battle against natural biological processes. It reflects on Trump.

The vanity project is treated as a monument and prioritizes aesthetics and visibility rather than a controlled, chemically treated aquatic facility. Effective prevention would require chlorine or other biocides, forcing the reliance on intermittent skimming, hydrogen peroxide, and advanced aeration.

While recent efforts have introduced nanobubbler technology and ozone treatment, these are supplemental rather than foundational. Without fixing the leaky pipes between the pool and the treatment plant, the system is too small and weak to maintain the filtration level needed to prevent algae blooms.

The old structure is built on marshy, unstable fill. Records indicate the basin has suffered from settling over decades, leading to persistent cracking and leaking. These leaks require constant replenishment with fresh water, which often introduces new nutrients that further fuel biological growth.

The Reflecting Pool is shallow, like a swamp, which facilitates rapid temperature increases. Because the volume is large but the circulation is essentially static compared to a dedicated swimming pool, algae has the time and stability to bloom rapidly. Some minds are like swamps: shallow and static.

Disturbing the Reflecting Pool causes New Pond Syndrome. Trump's draining, cleaning, and resealing destabilizes the biological balance of the system. The pool sits in an open-air environment, it collects dust, pollen, organic matter, which decompose and provides a nutrient-rich food for swamp algae.

Darker pigments absorb more solar radiation compared to lighter, more neutral surfaces. This elevates the water temperature, creating an optimal environment for algae proliferation, which thrives in warmer, sun-drenched water. The President required the dark color. This is his disaster. #TrumpDump

His toughest opponent yet turned out to be photosynthesis. #AlgaeGate

BREAKING: Iran closing Strait of Hormuz over Israeli attacks on Lebanon

To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — we're grateful for your friendship, counsel, and devotion to this country. And to Joe and Jill, thank you for being on this journey with us.

Happy Juneteenth! Rooted in Black freedom, resilience, history, and joy, Juneteenth marks one of our nation’s most important milestones, when news of emancipation finally reached Galveston, Texas, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

This day, we celebrate the strength and beauty of Black communities across California and the country, while honoring the ongoing fight for true freedom and racial justice.

California continues to take bold action to expand our water storage and delivery for a world made hotter and drier by the climate crisis. We've worked over the last eight years to fast-track key water infrastructure like the Sites Reservoir project to prepare for that future.

Happy Juneteenth, California! As we mark the full realization of the Emancipation Proclamation, we reflect on the centuries of struggle and triumph that led to this milestone, and to the progress we see today. Together, we look to the future with hope.

Juneteenth marks the celebration of America's second independence day. Like the people in this photo—Texans celebrating Juneteenth in 1900—we know that progress hasn't made our union perfect. But we can recommit to reaching toward that more perfect union together. Happy Juneteenth.

Happy Juneteenth, a day of celebration for America’s movement toward a more perfect union, and a day of commitment to the work that is left to be done.

You can call this fraud, theft, or both. Because that's what it is.

Iran says upcoming US-Iran talks are now on hold after accusing Israel of violating first clause of the reported MOU through continued strikes in southern Lebanon. Tehran says it may cancel negotiations, restore Hormuz blockade, and respond with missiles, per Tasnim I’ve been predicting this daily

Trump is increasingly fragile as he ages. His brain is vulnerable to blockages and ruptures. He seems more stiff with hypertension, suffers from swelling, inflammation, and potentially struggles with clot formations. He's under constant stress, strain, and is always sleep deprived. Trump is failing.

Republicans claim it was worth it, but domestic disapproval ratings for the conflict have reached historic highs, and the economic toll of high #inflation and energy supply chain instability is already threaten the administration's electoral standing. Iran's military was destroyed, but at what cost?

Evil Americans have slowly realized that an Iranian genocide was a false promise of a winnable military victory, but that would have been catastrophic. Killing 90 million people with the military and economic resources the U.S. currently has available would have been an unprecedented #MAGA disaster.

Ken Paxton’s own party impeached him. His own staff reported him to the FBI. Now his own defense attorney is endorsing our campaign. Those closest to Ken Paxton know he's unfit for office.

Respect people as they are without any pretenses. Truthfulness connects us more deeply than anything else could. We each have unusual characteristics, so let's help each other accept ourselves. Respect true authenticity. People are tired of heavy makeup, lies, and fake appearances. Let's be #honest.
