They don’t care about high prices!

The Trump Administration and big bankers agree: working people going into credit card debt because the cost of everything is getting higher is great news.

Based on the ruling the Conservative Majority Supreme Court of VA rendered, it’s Waste, Fraud, & Abuse that they allowed the Special Election to take place. They knew how they’d rule & let both parties spend money on an Election they intended to overturn if YES won. Shameful.

Shame on the other so-called journalists in the room for this disgusting trump rant.

Trump failures 'scramble' once-impossible Democrat race for deep-red Senate seat “No chance,” is what some close to Democratic politics would tell you about their chances in Florida this year.However, according to a new report from The Hill, the mounting failures of Donald Trump have given some in t

WaPo reporting -“trump’s withholding fire prevention money from some Dem-led states. Since July, CA and CO have received scarcely any of the money they expected from FEMA to recover from or prepare for fire disasters, according to a Post analysis. FEMA plans to shift responsibilities to states. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Update from @democracydocket.com on the accelerated efforts of Red States to wipe out their current Black Representatives in the U.S. House. Meanwhile, the VA Supreme Court is stalling a ruling on the Special Election which is delaying the Certification of Election Results. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Republicans are trying to give ICE and Border Patrol billions more for detention camps, raids and militarized crackdowns — after making massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP to fund Trump’s deportation agenda. If you’ve got a GOP representative, it’s extra important for them to hear from you right now.

Just in: The Court of International Trade has struck down a second round of global tariffs ordered by President Trump, after his earlier import taxes were outlawed by the U.S. Supreme Court. The decision is a victory for importers and a setback for the administration.

As state GOP leaders in South rush to redraw lines, they’re being accused of trying to “bleach” and “whitewash” and disenfranchise Black districts ====>

At some point I’ll find the words to say how outraged I am at this. Not there yet.

Gym Jordan sure has been quiet.

Check your Voter Registration status regularly, esp if you’re in a Red State that has turned over Voter Rolls to the DOJ. They intend to purge enough Democrats to impact the mid-terms & they’ll do it late in the election window so people won’t know & won’t have time or opportunity to fix it.

He is unwell and unhinged. And Republicans refuse to put him in check. We are in a very dangerous place America.

Republicans want $1 BILLION in new taxpayer funding to shore up security for Trump's White House ballroom. And don't forget: Corporate donations to construct the ballroom will be tax-deductible. Trump is sticking us with the tab for his vanity project while ignoring what the country really needs.

A gallon of gas is now 50% more expensive than when Trump started his Iran War. In the war's first month, the 100 biggest oil and gas companies brought in an extra $30 million per HOUR in windfall profits. Trump's Big Oil donors come out on top while the world suffers.

Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins cheered on 4.3 million Americans losing SNAP benefits thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill. That's the biggest drop in food assistance in nearly 30 years — all to give the ultra-rich even more tax cuts.

50 years ago, the Supreme Court made a consequential ruling on campaign finance reform that doesn't get enough attention today. But it opened the floodgates to big money spending in our elections — and the corporate takeover of American politics. Here's what you should know.

Independent estimates warn the Iran War has cost $72B so far — nearly triple what Trump's DoD has admitted. That's over $1 billion per day. People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want affordable housing. They want their basic needs met.

In yet another Dem overperformance last night, Democrat Chedrick Greene won by 9 points in a state Senate seat Kamala Harris barely carried. Democrats will retain control of the chamber through 2026. The midterm momentum is against Trump and the GOP — which is why they're fighting to rig the maps.

Look I'm no political strategist but it seems to me that when the President's chief financial advisor is going around gleefully talking about how great it is that everyone's spending more on things and that credit card spending is up, that would be useful for opposition political messaging...

Wow, what if these billionaires who are spending/wasting their money to fight paying a wealth tax just paid the tax- which would benefit Californians? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Remember: NOAA experienced major cuts courtesy of DOGE. The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA and provides life saving weather forecasting, was hit hard. But now, ahead of storm season, the Trump admin is scrambling to rehire employees that were fired. "Efficiency."

We actually see exactly how this Supreme Court operates and the Conservative Justices are absolutely “political actors.” These aren’t unpopular decisions, they are travesties.

This is amazing. Brilliant way for people to comprehend the enormity of the files with these visuals. Glad the survivors were acknowledged with the bright light of the candles 🕯️

Voters see 'self-dealing' Trump 'spitting in their face' as they dig for coupons #AlterNet

Disgusting.

Shame on the Conservatives on this US Supreme Court for their racist decision(s) that overturn established law. And shame on the racist Republicans who are intent on ERASING PEOPLE OF COLOR from the U.S. HOUSE REPRESENTATIVES & EVERY STATE & LOCAL ELECTED POSITION.

In her Louisiana v. Callais dissent, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, the first Black woman to serve on the court, asserted that overturning Louisiana’s voting map had “spawned chaos” in the state. The League has filed suit to block that chaos. www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre... @lwvlouisiana.bsky.social

I would add that GA & SC are very similar states. These are two Southern states that are really focused on attracting businesses & bringing in population. And both appear to be eschewing redistricting this year. cc: @juliezebrak.bsky.social

Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry was hit with multiple lawsuits in the 24 hours after announcing a halt on statewide primaries so that Republicans can redraw favorable congressional districts. trib.al/ZVuhZ9G Prepare for more to come, and from both sides.

I’ll be damned. The Pulitzer board did it. Good on them

If this is true, Marge needs to release the texts.

Looks like Acting AG Todd Blanche is coloring his hair. 🤦🏻‍♀️

It’s all on trump & Republicans - and the wealthiest among us.

This is outrageous and Mike Rogers knows better. Just shameful. Thankfully, @marcelias.bsky.social is on the case. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Just another coward who sucks up to Trump.

Republicans had a choice: Lower healthcare costs for families, or hand $70 billion to ICE. They chose ICE over affordable healthcare, safer communities, and working families. Shame on Republicans.

While I’m glad the Supreme Court has temporarily reinstated access to mifepristone, women are still left in limbo with a constantly shifting landscape of regulations across the country. We need to pass strong legislation that protects reproductive care.

Newsweek: Senator Thom Tillis sharply criticized the DOJ prosecution of James Comey, breaking with Trump and raising fresh questions about whether the case amounts to political retaliation. Yes, yes it does! #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed #VoteOutRepublicans

New in PN: The vanity presidency "America has suffered ignorant presidents, corrupt presidents, & incompetent presidents. Trump is all of these, yet something far worse: He’s the first to view the office not as a public obligation, but as a personal vanity project designed solely to serve himself."
