Hardworking Americans are footing the bill for Trump’s illegal tariffs. A new report shows the average household has paid $700 more due to inflation since January - and Californians paid $1,112 more. Promises made. Promises broken. www.jec.senate.gov/public/_cach...

Here's courageous @katmabu.bsky.social speaking after arraignment on the "Trumped up" charged against her. #ISTANDWITHKAT

Cool!

Very cool looking!

Across the country, voters support many of Zohran Mamdani's ideas, including: -Increasing taxes on the rich -Universal childcare -Freezing rent -Raising the minimum wage Everything Democrats do must focus on enacting popular policies that help working people. That is the path forward.

UPDATE — With Rep. Pramila Jayapal (Chair Emerita of the Congressional Progressive Caucus), there are now at least 12 congressional Democrats, 15 Democratic-aligned organizations, and 8 Democratic candidates calling for Chuck Schumer to resign as leader:

Just let that sentence sink in...

Often I get so annoyed with the horrible news in this country, that I post something really important, but then have to repost it 10 minutes later to remove the stupid typos, because I'm so upset. This could be solved if @bsky.app would just give us a dang edit but! Come on, this isn't Twitter!

If you can, pitch in to help the courageous @katmabu.bsky.social defend herself against the 🐂💩 poIitically motivated prosecution for exercising her First Amendment rights! She was assaulted multiple times by government agents, but in this bizarro-world, they're charging her!?! #ISTANDWITHKAT

Buddy can you spare a dime... This GOP 💩 show is getting us right into an economic depression like we haven't seen in a century.

You are infinitely closer to struggling than you ever will be to billionaires

If these scum are working this hard to block the release of the #EpsteinFiles, why do you think that is...

Take a moment to listen AOC on the House floor tonight This is WHO & WHAT WE NEED A FIERCE FIGHTER I hear talk that she should run for Senate. !! I agree We NEED MORE LIKE HER @aoc.bsky.social

In @timdickinson.bsky.social first exclusive with The Contrarian, he sits down with Rep. Elect Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ) to discuss everything from her deliberately delayed swear-in to the Epstein files. An absolute must watch! https://contrarian.substack.com/p/the-50-day-swear-in-rep-elect-grijalva

So on Epstein, the Democratic position should be "Trump should resign." If you are a Democratic elected, practice saying "We demand the president's resignation" in front of a mirror as many times as it takes until the dry-heaving that comes from having a phobia about actually doing politics passes.

Come look at some of the pretty northern lights that grace the skies of the U.S. last night. (I am so jealous of everyone who saw them. I wistfully tried to peek through the clouds on the late night dog walk, but alas, NYC light pollution.) (by @meghanbartels.bsky.social for @sciam.bsky.social)

This "money is money" mentality is a perfect example of why our society is in shambles. We reward any vile deed with monetization, including humans preying on one another.

Catalina “Xóchitl” Santiago spent nearly two months in ICE detention—despite having protection under DACA—until a federal judge ruled that the government had no reason to keep her in custody and ordered her release. DHS is still vowing to "explore every available option to remove" her. My latest:

Oh oh oh! So envious of folx in NYC! First they get Mamdani, and now The Moldy Peaches! Very jelly!!

Instead of funneling endless amounts of money into our bloated Pentagon budget while thousands of veterans face homelessness and hunger, let’s use those funds to truly take care of our veterans — ensuring every one has a home, food, and access to medical and mental health care.

Wow, tech bros are straight-up monsters; and of course, AI is the ultimate means of fleecing folx. The "magical" nature of AI is all hype, and, as in the case below, made up entirely. The false narrative around AI is being shoved down society's throat to enrich these scum, to our grave detriment.

#AOC: “What makes the leadership of this moment so crucial, is about trust and cooperation — we will need to work together and as a team in order to usher our country through this very dark time.” AOC laying the groundwork for her Senate run — time to put #Schumer out to pasture

Communicating why a 50 year mortgage costs more, overall, than a 30 year mortgage should not be a hard task. The problem is the average American is both functionally illiterate and innumerate, as a deliberate result of decades of the policies made by the very people pushing for 50 year mortgages.
