It’s quite something seeing all these folks cheering on the suspension of SNAP benefits as of 11/1. These are kids we’re talking about folks. Feeding them. They don’t vote.

Has anyone read this? I’m halfway through and it’s been a slow burn for me. Would love your thoughts.

Rest in peace Roy Hobbs ⚾️⚡️

We are better than what we’ve become.

Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist but I’m thinking the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise was getting stale so they thought a spinoff with radioactive shrimp at Walmart was in order. Tell me I’m wrong.

Candidates matter.

Stare contest.

America has lost its humanity.

If you wanted to jettison the constitution in support of your own kingship, you would start with constitutional protections for noncitizens. Fly that test balloon and see how far it goes. If it goes far, you move on to peeling back the next constitutional protection.

Dollar to donuts it won’t stop Trump and team. Defying court orders is easy when you don’t believe in the rule of law.

I hope MAGA is ready for Jimmy Carter’s economy.

Public schools matter.

While the Chinese government trolling MAGA with these AI vids is certainly entertaining, it’s a travesty that America is so divided that we elected folks who would give the Chinese all the material in the world with which to work.

Human nature is about preservation. None of this sell off is surprising. Everyone knows this was the eventuality of the haphazard tariff rollout. Which is why purposeful intent can’t be ignored. Americans are getting screwed so that other Americans can get richer, yet again.

Listening to Agriculture Sec Rollins completely flail on this interview with Jake Tapper on State of the Union…as a partisan it brings a chuckle, but as an American it’s so tough to watch. This is the level of folks Trump has hired to run our government.

When you’re in power, you’re in control. You want to help working families out? How about making rich folks pay their fair share then tackle unfair trade.

So I hear the governor in Oklahoma wants to get rid of the forestry department because he got his feelings hurt by his fellow republicans. One party supermajority rule is working out so well..

Donald Trump shall henceforth be known as Herbert Hoover, Jr.

Instead of these folks being all riled up about acronyms like DEI, how bout they start giving a damn about numbers like 401. K?

They left the working class behind in chase of expanded markets and margins. Now they want you to believe it’s working folks who should sacrifice to “make things fair for America”. Never forget, those who have the gold make the rules.

I liked my country when folks here didn’t want to invade Greenland.

Russia invading Ukraine was not a roadmap for the US to invade Greenland.

The worst part of this facts only matter if they are your jersey’s color country we live in, is that the jersey matters more than senior government officials putting the lives of military personnel in danger by disclosing war plans on signal. This once would have brought Americans together in anger.

Pell grants matter.

Working class families matter more than the lined pockets of billionaires.

Working families matter.

Proud product of Pell grants.

Seniors > Elon Musk

The chronically aggrieved culture warriors will move on to their next acronym. We must continue to speak truth, live our values, and push back against those who seek to marginalize and malign folks who don’t look, see, or feel the way they do.

Governor Stitt doesn’t get to distance himself from Ryan Walters. He birthed Ryan Walters emergence into politics. Kevin Stitt’s legacy will be that of a bottom 10 state, but the damage wrought to teachers, students, and communities across Oklahoma may be his biggest failure.

Actually a little surprised the Oklahoma State Department of Health is raising awareness about measles. Public health has never been paramount for Kevin Stitt.

Easy for a billionaire to say Social Security is a Ponzi scheme. I know seniors whose sole source of income is the social security payments they get because of their decades of paying into Social Security.

We’re a divided country. No denying it. We have been a divided country throughout our history as a nation. Half the country supporting authoritarians in their pursuit of destroying democracies is a new thing though.

Who knew the US in USSR would actually become a 21st century thing.

Europe defending democracy > America defending authoritarians.

America was better when it wasn’t afraid of Russia.

Trump routinely insults the American people. It’s no surprise he insulted the people of Ukraine in a biggly way.

They can buy as many ads as they want to on Sirius XM, I’m never going to buy MREs marketed for “patriots”.

Europe will have Ukraine’s back while America looks weak because when we appease Putin, we are weak.

First it was the governor of Maine, next it was Zelensky. The reality is Trump’s weakness is truth.

The charade in the Oval Office today really encapsulates just how far American leadership in the world has devolved.

The White House shall be henceforth known as the DC Russian consulate.

“We will take America without firing a shot. We do not have to invade the U.S. We will destroy you from within”.-Nikita Khrushchev We’re letting them do it. Sad day in America.

As someone who had executive platinum with American Airlines for traveling 120+ segments a year for several years, I have no desire to travel on 120 flights these days with the clown show these billionaires are bringing to the FAA.

The governor of Maine has it down. You don’t have ti be afraid of these people. The only thing to fear is fear itself.

I liked it when America’s leaders liked America more than they did Russia.

Only in Oklahoma can gubernatorial candidates tout “accomplishments” of failed one party rule for well over a decade. It’s quite something that the state goes back to drink from a dirty well every election cycle.

When they cut public education they cut opportunity for working families.

They’ve been screwing over working folks in the private sector for years. Federal employees who voted for Trump are now somehow shocked they’re getting screwed over. The elite disdain working folks. That’s the modern American story.

You don’t need an enabling act, when you can ignore court orders. History doesn’t repeat itself, it rhymes.
