Mike Johnson says those in Congress can’t survive on 174k a year. Here's an idea then: Let's CUT their salary to the median income for all Americans and find people who survive on that much, so we can have representation that accurately reflects the way the electorate lives.

Update: Louisiana voters tonight have rejected all five constitutional amendments that were on the ballot today; they were there with the support of the GOP legislature and Gov. Landry.

The more I think about it the more annoyed I am that people describe BlueSky as a place where normies don’t exist. I think BlueSky having a ton of normal people is in fact why political flunkies hate it?

Ellie Gilbreath is running for Congress in Idaho’s 2nd and she wants people to understood that Idaho is misunderstood. She joins me to explain that most Idahoans are “neighbors first” and are tired of Trump’s divisive and destructive policies. youtu.be/nXqmIHQSsEQ?...

HE WILL DESTROY THE WORLD TO PREVENT THE REAL EPSTEIN FILES FROM BEING RELEASED. BUT WE’RE SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE HE IS “INNOCENT?!”

The Senate Parliamentarian has advised that the orange felon’s $1B trashy dictator worship ballroom will be subject to a 60-vote threshold. His demolishing of the White House for his own ego/vanity should be considered destruction of government property. I hate him.

#endthegop #criminalenterprise

I hope the vestigial remains of Cassidy’s conscience haunt him for the rest of his miserable days he knows exactly what he voted for and this is what it bought him

I remember last summer when he announced the White House ballroom he promised it would only cost $200 million and would be covered entirely by private donations. How the hell did the cost of the thing quintuple in less than a year?

Great news 🤗 Someone get the Parliamentarian a bodyguard and watch out for flying ketchup. #SheShed

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Please listen closely. Heed Mr. Ford's words. Then pass this on. Please, for the sake of your kids and grandkids.

We cannot afford this man. He never stops taking from us. He’s a con & a thief. I blame the entire GOP for not reining this corruption in. There is not a single working class American that has not been harmed by his disgusting corruption & criminality. It’s a sickness. A plague. #ProudBlue #Onev1

You're entitled to your own opinion. You're NOT entitled to your own facts. #BelieveTheScience What he said 💯 👇 👇 👇

A jury convicted Tina Peters ... Jared Polis is a media thirsty lump that thinks he knows better than her actual jury, who sat through the entire case, deliberared and sentenced her ! He should apologize publicly to the Judge, Attorneys, clerks, witnesses and the jury ! What a fucknuckle 👇

The orange felon’s $10B lawsuit against the IRS was already corrupt AF as it’s a scheme to steal from the US govt, but now he wants to settle that BS lawsuit by creating a nearly $2B slush fund to pay off his allies such as Jan 6 terrorists. He belongs in prison, not in the WH.

Donald Trump appeared so physically diminished departing China that Russian TV coverage labeled him "Trump the Hunchback."

Next national march for voting rights should circle the Supreme Court house in DC.

We’ve known as a political matter that the American Right has been hellbent on returning to 1955. What’s becoming clearer is that as a historical matter we’re only in the middle of a centuries-long fight for a multiracial, multiethnic democracy.

What is it with the confederate states that they must always rely on White Supremacy to make it in this world ⁉️

Step 3: Officers are instructed to look for indications of hostility toward U.S. citizens, culture, government, institutions, or founding principles. Basically praise Trump or else. A post of “8647” can be reason for denial.

NO question about it…

Hey MAGA, THIS IS WHO YOU VOTED FOR!!!

We can’t wait for politicians in DC to fix the broken system they created. So we’re taking matters into our own hands, starting here in Alaska. It’s time for our state legislature to pass term limits on our federal delegation.

While everyone's watching Hormuz, the Epstein files are being buried. The law says release them. Trump is fighting it. Massie may lose his seat Tuesday for pushing it. And now a $1.7B slush fund for Jan 6 defendants? Don't go quiet. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Nope, not at all.... #Epstein #EpsteinFiles

Too bad tRUMP & his cabinet do not cotton to science or research. Defunding both will put us behind the 8 ball & will cause early deaths. This will take years to rev up the system & begin to find ways to keep us well.
