newrepublic.com/article/2010... via @newrepublic.com @mjtoma.bsky.social No intended disrespect to hyenas but, 💯💯💯 “What the Republicans are doing to this country is deeply immoral, under the orders of a man who has the conscience of a hyena. Say it, Democrats.”

open.substack.com/pub/bengsfor... “[The] 2018/19 shutdown alone cost taxpayers $11 billion.” tRump and Congress SHOULD NOT be paid during the shut down; and, they SHOULD be accessed additional penalties equal to the cost of the total shutdown.

“Show us your warrant!” “Ma’am, you’ve been watching too many movies. We’ll show you the warrant after we’re done.” 🤔 *busts in the door with babies crying*

He wants to dictate what the press can say. What a university can teach. Whom a company can employ. And to whom the law shall apply. He who wants all this is not a president, But strives to be a dictator. And all who succumb are not citizens, But subjects.

CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

79. American citizen.

substack.com/@corporatecl... The Newsroom, 13 years ago. We are now in the life imitating art phase.

substack.com/@lincolnsqua... This is not law enforcement. All ICE masks need to be removed and these people need to be identified.

substack.com/@krassenstei... I can’t wait for this trial to begin. Comey may get a chance to redeem himself with the American people.

substack.com/@livelysue/n... Totally agree. Forget the corrupted Special Prosecutor process; and, Congress will be too busy codifying real laws and fixing the Supreme Court.

substack.com/@borowitzrep... And Pam Bondi, Cash Patel, Marco Rubio…

Our Social Security system is FULLY AFFORDABLE, as long as we make the wealthy pay in at the same rate as the rest of us.

Our cities aren’t war ravaged. They’re ICE ravaged.

“The polite phrase for this is ‘democratic backsliding.’ But that’s a euphemism that doesn’t meet the moment. Let’s call it what it is: it’s a power grab. The rule of law isn’t slipping; leaders are sabotaging it. Rights aren’t being neglected; they’re being stripped." @clintonglobal.bsky.social

newrepublic.com/article/2007... via @newrepublic.com @perrybaconjr.bsky.social @rbreich.bsky.social “Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.” tRump and his billionaire buddies: Free speech be-damned. It’s all about the money.

newsletters.democracydocket.com/dont-fall-fo... “We can’t take our eyes off the ball. Release the Files. Now”

apnews.com/article/jimm... This is what happens when we stand up and speak out. These people don’t care anything about free speech. It is and always has been the bottom line.

Welp.

This man has no right to desecrate the very symbol of our Democracy: a temporary home of an elected leader. We can stop him beginning with the 2026 primaries and November 3rd General election.

newrepublic.com/post/200965/... There are so many sicko, racist and evil people in this administration I’m losing count.

SAD!!

apnews.com/article/trum... If upheld, I will triple my support to @democracydocket.com & @aclu.org to fight this for everyone except unAmerican Marco Rubio whose immigrant parents were illegal when he was born. Deport Marco.

apnews.com/article/un-g... “Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: ‘Israel must finish the job’ against Hamas [and the war] in Gaza.” People are killed on both sides in a war. No Israelis are dying. They won the body-count war long ago. This is now a genocide.

Reports are, due to AI energy usage in the US, consumer rates will double over the next five years

It took Brazil 20 years to reestablish their democracy after a 1964 military coup. With all the work going on outside of Congress and the upcoming 2026 primaries and Nov 3rd general election, I think we can reestablish our democracy in less than two years.

Because this administration thinks everyone believes the rules only matter when it helps “your side” (like they do), they are counting on Comey’s unpopularity to normalize this. Don’t let it. Whatever you think of him or his actions in the past, etc. this indictment is dangerous and an outrage.

If you voted for him, you've done this.

apnews.com/article/trum... “The deal is not yet finalized and also requires China’s approval…Vice President JD Vance added that ‘there was some resistance on the Chinese side.”🤔 Distraction. Release the Epstein Files!

As governor, I have made it a priority to not only protect but also promote the fundamental right of women to choose if and when and how they will have children. Every woman should be informed, empowered, and supported when she makes that decision.

America is bailing out Argentina, while Argentine farmers sell soybeans to China instead of American farmers, thereby bankrupting them, which is why America also have to bail out American farmers. If this is considered winning, I fear what losing looks like.

I'll just leave this here.

Republicans can’t win on their policies, so they are trying to dodge accountability by rewriting the rules. These lawmakers are going out of their way to silence the will of the people and deliberately undermine our democracy.

OMG! This man can say everything you need to know without being derogatory or naming a single person. He is good.🤗

I don’t even like James Comey, but this is so wrong. Let’s start indicting Supreme Court justices who blatantly lied to Congress

But now it’s the Democrats fault said the Republican president.🤔

open.substack.com/pub/zeteo/p/... Can somebody please start a GoFundMe page so we can try and buy this lying idiot a Nobel Prize and he can shut the hell up?🙄

Starbucks is closing stores and cutting 900 jobs in a restructuring move. 1,100 jobs were slashed earlier this year. Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
