The same boomers who stressed throughout my life how awful and painful the Kent State shooting was for them and their generation are now telling me the murders in Minnesota by our government are not something to get worked up over. What happened to there people?

Trump is the sugar rush president. He doesn’t care about tomorrow. It’s all the now. He’d take a deal that reduces the price of eggs by $.30 while giving up all eggs forever after his term ends. He doesn’t care what bridge he burns, he doesn’t care about progress, he doesn’t care about future risk

Trump wants to raise taxes on Americans because Europeans won’t give him a trophy

Did Congress appropriate money for the Trump administration to purchase Greenland?

Always thought the ‘War on Christmas’ talk was nonsense, but armed agents invading churches during the holidays is making me a believer.

Uber needs to do something about all the driver cancellations. Waymo might be slower but I’m gaining far more confidence that I will get to my destination on time.

It feels very problematic to have a section of the White House funded by billionaires and tech companies. That’s the people’s house. Instead it’s becoming a shrine to corruption

San Francisco Board Of Supervisors need to immediately pass tax bills that target federal ICE and out of state national guard personnel. If they are going to disrupt our cities, perhaps they can help fill the cities coffers.

Honestly feels like Trump is constantly testing his base to see how far they’ll let him go and still give him full support. The Qatar airbase is the latest example in a never ending list. And after their initial reaction, they’ll probably start talking about 5th dimensional chess nonsense

Who is advising @senatorblumenthal.bsky.social ? His response to Trumps nonsense should ONLY be that he’s not taking any criticism from someone too chickenshit to serve his country and who badmouths those who did serve as suckers. Trump is coward and a bully. He’s always the first to run away

Note that Trump didn’t mention bailing out farmers until AFTER he made the decision to bail out Argentina.

This admin and their sycophants in the media need more ridicule

Bye Disney, bye @espn.com , bye Hulu. Wasn’t a regular Kimmel viewer but this action is reprehensible. Looks like the holiday trip to Disneyland will be suspended indefinitely.

A reminder that as all the Republicans get in front of cameras to call for Democrats to lower the temperature, that Mike Lee never apologized for making fun of the Minnesota assassination of Dem politicians. Republicans will point to some rando on the internet, but all Dems will condemn the violence

This is very accurate

Democrats - introduce a slate of constitutional amendments: - reverse Citizens United and give Congress and States authority to introduce anti-corruption laws - Supreme Court reform with term limits - end gerrymandering - pardon reform

Life comes at you fast

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social campaign idea for Orange County and other areas with old school republicans. Lean into how national Republicans purposely hurt CA through SALT elimination and how HR1 made some relief temporary. Attack current republicans for choosing party over constituents

Sfgiants are just not fun to watch right now. Think I’ll watch Valkyries instead.

So he’s only going to sell Putin *some* of Alaska? Cool. Cool cool cool.

More on Trump’s nominee to lead the office investigating Jack Smith: ➡️ He said that the descendants of slaves should pay reparations to the descendants of slave owners ➡️ He urged Congress to make J6 a national holiday ➡️ He called for Trump’s birthday to be made a national holiday (“MAGA Day”)

Trump is a friend to would-be tyrants and dictators wherever they may be

Weird dynamic these days where liberals are very focused on local communities while conservatives have to have an opinion on every issue outside of their communities. Why do they care if it has no impact on their lives?

My instincts tell me this is someone on the right because why else would you not want a check on the execute branch.

Yeah, that’s exactly what he wanted.

The most powerful figure in Congress is insisting that a measure passed by Congress in an effort to reassert Congress's rightful role in the constitutional order is actually unconstitutional and his Congress should have *less* authority and influence. The saddest set of eunuchs in world history.

FOX is total CRAP!

🤣

The head of the FDA tells us they're taking a look at the dietary guidelines and that the food pyramid is out. The food pyramid has not been in use since 2011 when MyPlate replaced it.

Just like his last term, riots breaking out in our city streets. Trump certainly seems great at creating instability. Is this really what people wanted?

Trump is the embodiment of all the warnings and concerns expressed by Republicans over my lifetime. He is the leader they warned us about and THEY LOVE HIM.

It’s obvious but worth drawing out what raids of Home Depot’s of all places is about. It’s rounding up people who are really eager for work and for whom there is work, peoples whose labor is in demand. We know this but shows just how far it is from rounding up just the bad guys.

Around the time that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was indicted in the Middle District of Tennessee, the chief of the criminal division in that district posted this on LinkedIn: “Earlier today, after nearly 15 years as an Assistant United States Attorney, I resigned…”

NOTHING COMES OUT OF HIS MOUTH THAT ISN'T A LIE. PERIOD. HE IS UTTERLY INCAPABLE OF [KNOWING &] TELLING THE TRUTH.

Just a reminder, when people lose Medicaid they end up utilizing ER more, resulting in more expensive care. Those costs end up getting paid by the rest of us through higher premiums. Some parts of country might see a spiraling affect as premiums become too expensive and more people lose insurance

Buried in the tax bill: "no State or political subdivision thereof may enforce any law or regulation regulating artificial intelligence models, artificial intelligence systems, or automated decision systems during the 10-year period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act."

The SALT deduction issue is interesting when you remember how often the Republicans were apoplectic about double taxation of the wealthy. Now they could care less as long as they can get CA, NY, and NJ to pay for the tax cuts to everyone else. Even with SALT, those states are net contributors

Pence: "To have POTUS in Saudi Arabia questioning America's global war on terror & describing is as nation building & interventionist I thought was a disservice to generations of Americans who wore the uniform..particularly giving that speech in Saudi Arabia where 15 of the 19 hijackers hailed from"

Move Darker Waves festival to Golden Gate Park in SF. @axs.bsky.social

With the latest Biden news and the continued poor polling for Dems, they really need to do something to shake things up. Start by ditching Schumer. Dems can’t afford to continue to let underperforming leaders keep these roles

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

Georges Méliès unsuccessfully battles a wicked fairy in THE KINGDOM OF THE FAIRIES (1903), one of his most elaborate fantasies to date, featuring hand-applied color and a bespoke musical score.

Bad math. The costs far exceed the savings. Therefore there are no savings. Combine that with the disruption of vital services and DOGE has been an unmitigated disaster and complete failure.

Dems should make a plank in their platform to just not be AHoles. Watching Republicans proudly act like sh1theads is making me unbelievably angry. Just be cool. You don’t feel comfortabl with trans. Fine. Just be cool. These are kids. Let’s at least protect them from the AHoles. Applies to all. Cool
