Musk & Trump promised that DOGE would save AT LEST $1 trillion, with the former saying that $2t in a year wasn't out of the question. 10 months into Trump's 2nd term & they've saved... ** checks notes ** Negative $1 trillion. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Corning workers in North Carolina & Michigan are exercising their constitutional right to unionize with @steelworkers.bsky.social for better wages, benefits & working conditions.  Corning must stop its illegal union busting & intimidation. I stand in solidarity with these brave workers.

@slotkin.senate.gov stop using X please! Don't support Musk. Move your discussion here!

Anyone using X or Grok is supporting a South African Nazi using his wealth to impose a corporate fascism on the US. Just stop all media, Congress, and anyone who cares about our democracy! Drive Musk out of business, and move the discussion here! Use Bluesky!

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Just another corrupt day in the DC neighborhood! www.propublica.org/article/kris... The horse looks apologetic for ferrying an animal killer.

This would've tanked any other president, but Trump's worse than Teflon, he's so slimy he's frictionless.

"Democrats will also need to embrace the legislature’s constitutional authority to structure the executive branch and the judiciary, up to and including Supreme Court reform." -Jamelle Bouie, NYT. Dems running for Congress just do the job the Constitution spells out & don't worry about re-election.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

This is actually good spin, or would have been. But the fact that the Democratic cave happened without even a coordinated, agreed-upon message like this indicates the depth of the leadership void.

So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

Trump's "justice" dept. charged a guy for throwing a sandwich at an ICE agent wearing a bulletproof vest. Trump pardoned violent rioters who assaulted, beat, and badly injured Capital police on January 6. The sandwich guy won today. 🥪 That ICE agent will never not fear two slices of bread again.

I’m not going to take this sitting down, because Arizona doesn’t deserve that. Swear me in, Speaker Johnson! www.nytimes.com/2025/10/28/o...

Frankly, on any US issued passport, when it comes to gender, the ONLY choice should be: ✅ None of your f@#king business.

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

As a Democrat, I wholly agree with this statement by the late Republican President. But the fact is, the current Republican Congress cringe over this philosophy, having slid so far to the right that I bet neither Reagan nor Lincoln would be part of the Republican Party. @hcrichardson.bsky.social

During the shutdown, Trump could find $40 billion to bail out Argentina & $300 million for a ballroom to host dinner parties with billionaires, but he won’t tap emergency funds to prevent millions of American kids from going hungry? How cruel is that?

So true.

These photos get more outrageous the more you look at them. Tearing down the People's House for a $300M vanity project while federal workers go unpaid and America barrels towards a health care crisis. A literal depiction of what Trump is doing to our country.

We who want to restore a government of the people have to take extraordinary measures NOW to protect democracy. Vote YES on Prop 50, Californians. I will be.

Trump is furious because Canada went over his head and just made their case with Americans directly. It’s what everyone should do.

So what did Trump's disgusting video of him wearing a crown flying over a city dumping shit on citizens truly mean? That Trump and MAGA are FULL of shit.

40 million Americans may go hungry in November because their SNAP funding is at risk. 40 million people at a time when most are already struggling to put food on the table. Trump just gave 40 billion to Argentina. That could feed every American. That could easily fund SNAP. America first?

Hello blue states! If the Trump admin is withholding OUR tax dollars for projects Congress approved in OUR states then why not withhold our taxes from the feds? C'mon governors it's OUR money. Don't let them just steal it.

www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u... A good thing Trump sent troops to those warzones in Portland and Chicago. My heart goes out to the loved ones of those killed.

It no longer serves any purpose to talk about the Supreme Court and the Trumpublicans shredding the Constitution. We're beyond that. Democrats need to talk about restoring government BY THE PEOPLE. We have to look forward to a new compact between our representatives, justice system, and citizens.

Trader Joe's Exec1: we'll sell lots of really good stuff at good prices Exec2: that doesn't sound at all evil. We're a big company, we're supposed to be evil Founder1: we are going to have the most inadequate, cramped, badly designed parking lots in the fucking world Founder2: ok that works

Republicans brought the Senate back today to block our bill to lower health care costs and end the shutdown, and to insist on their bill to deprive millions of their health care. Meanwhile, Republicans in the House decided to remain on vacation.

Hmmm... weird.

It really is staggering to see so many people willing to abandon our 249 year experiment in democracy for an increasingly unstable criminally convicted reality show charlatan.

Sounds like Republicans ought to get all the Republicans who form the Republican majorities in the Republican-led House and the Republican-led Senate together to pass the budget that Republicans wrote with the Republican White House and that Republicans now insist absolutely must be passed.

Today, I'm signing legislation to safeguard our elections and the voice of every voter. It's now illegal to use contests or payments to get people to register to vote. And in the 2026 election, voters have the chance to repeal our state's ban on the public financing of elections.

A new KFF study reports: 24 million Americans will see their health care premiums under the Affordable Care Act DOUBLE. Further, 15 million people will be thrown off their health care entirely.   Unacceptable. We can’t subject millions of Americans to this unnecessary suffering.

Republicans are spitting insane lies to cover up their shutdown. So let's get the facts straight: undocumented immigrants cannot and do not get covered by ACA or Medicaid. Democrats are fighting to save affordable health care for hardworking Americans, period.

Day 2 of the Republican shutdown. Your regular reminders: 1. GOP controls government. They control what bills get voted on and the vote thresholds for each bill. Senate GOP can pass their bad funding bill today if they felt like it. 2. Dems are fighting to lower costs and save healthcare.

If the gov't shuts down this week the Dems need to GO BIG on the message that the Republicans are blackmailing them into taking away Americans' healthcare. Flood the zone with that! Short, to the point! Don't waste breath explaining it, just Republicans are taking away Americans' healthcare.

Colbert asked Newsom how MAGA was going to cancel the 2028 election. They create complete chaos in 2026 so they can claim any result suspect and invalid. Trump declares Congress will remain as-is until next elections. Next elections are cancelled due to impending violence; Trump stays in office.

So Bluesky is geo-fencing Mississippi due to age verification due to a bad Court decision. How about Truth Social? Are they going to comply? Please let us know Attorney General Lynn Fitch.

These guys are total morons: www.npr.org/2025/08/16/n... POO-tihn must wonder why he has a spy agency at all with these clowns.

If this doesn't scare the lees out of everyone in the wine industry, I don't know what will: U.S. Drinking Rate at New Low as Alcohol Concerns Surge news.gallup.com/poll/693362/... We're in danger of a decade or more of declining sales. #winesky #winefeed #wineindustry #wine

The wine industry is in a depression. Some causes are external, such as the political neo-temperance movement. But some are the industry's own doing-ensh*ttifying wine for consumers. We're doing it to ourselves: www.marketingwine.com/2025/08/06/t... #winesky #wine #wineindustry #winefeed

Two countries that actually need Regime change: America and Israel.

Tariffs. Stock market down. Medicaid slashed Secret police throwing anyone who looks Latino in unmarked vans. National guard and marines deployed in LA. No end to the wars in Gaza or Ukraine Bombing Iran This is the worst first six months of any presidential term in my lifetime.

Reminder: Part of Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" is the fire sale of millions of acres of public land to the 1% in order to partially make-up for the $4 trillion the bill will add to the national debt by giving tax breaks to that same 1%. www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-adve...

"Trumpism can be seen as a giant attempt to amputate the highest aspirations of the human spirit and to reduce us to our most primitive, atavistic tendencies." -- David French, New York Times
