Hard work used to mean something: you work hard, you got ahead. Now, it feels like your hard work is paying off for someone else. Families can't afford groceries, prescriptions, or housing. I’m fighting to change that by putting money back in your pockets.

Reminder that Trump cut your health care, food assistance, and emergency preparedness programs because they cost Americans "too much." So where does the $1 billion White House ballroom fall?

I'm not an attorney. That said, it does not seem legal that a DOJ attorney--even the AG--could negotiate a settlement that relieves a citizen of their legal obligations. Right @joycewhitevance.bsky.social?

Can’t amplify this sentiment enough.

@barbmcquade.bsky.social Barb, as a veteran attorney who worked at DOJ, can you shed light on whether this is legal? It certainly seems illegal, but as a lay person, I really don't know. Can someone challenge this in court? Thanks.

Healthy political parties make each other better. To defeat a viable opponent, a party has to rise to the challenge. It has to fix its failures. It has to innovate. Defeating a sclerotic rump of a party is no achievement. Instead, one-party rule enables corruption. It fosters stagnation.

“.. Every failed deal, every summit that yields nothing, every boast that goes unfulfilled, confirms what adversaries already suspect. A lame-duck superpower exhausts itself in full view of the world, and the world moves on.” @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

I do not believe anything this guys says without confirmation from other sources. And generally, other sources do not confirm what he says. This guy lies.

Trump is a liar.

All due respect to the Senator, but it's actually strategic incompetence, not "strategic incoherence."

@ Donald Trump You started this war. In the process, you undermined the entire world economy. Now it's up to you to have the courage to find a real solution, open up the Strait of Hormuz, and end the ridiculousness.

Dave: Democrats should drop Fetterman.

Shame on us.I think of the brave Afghans who stood alongside us against the Taliban, esp. those I worked with during my years in command of the NATO mission there. Incomprehensible that we wouldn't bring them to the US, fulfilling basic obligations of trust & honor. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/w...

Donald Trump is an evil man with no morals.

Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them. New piece ↓ open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

This is what religion has become under Trump and the Republicans...a prop to get ratings. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

This should be the headline for every TV news show for 48 hours.

It's a good first step.

Who cares what Geraldo Rivera thinks about anything?

Hey, MAGA! Ready for another war??? “In the meantime our great Military is Loading Up and Resting, looking forward, actually, to its next Conquest,” Trump added. www.cnbc.com/2026/04/09/t...

NYT: “.. Trump, who has promoted ‘Buy America’ policies and vowed to protect American steel, has secured tens of millions of dollars worth of donated foreign steel for his $400 million ballroom project.” @anaswanson.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/04/08/u...

Pope Leo XIV rebukes Trump' psychotic rhetoric: “Today as we all know there was this threat against all the people of Iran. This is truly unacceptable,” the Pope said, warning that attacks on civilian infrastructure violate international law.

Katie Phang delivers a clear-eyed, no-nonsense look at the 25th Amendment—and why its most explosive provision may no longer feel theoretical.

Mark Jacob on how the press ignores the biggest Trump story: “The president of the United States is clearly mentally unfit for office."

I try to avoid taking the bait and amplifying a message that is posted with an obvious desire to divide and conquer, but every voter needs to see this one. This man is unfit for office.

I went on my first Uber ride ever and I concur with the CEO, Uber sucks.

Perfect! Just perfect! Life isn't hard enough already, let's drive prices up even more!

You can’t vote out Trump in the midterms, but you can vote out the people who enable him.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant, and also the best guarantee we can hold free and fair elections this November. Today, it was shining brightly. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

March. Impeach. Convict. #NoKings

Fact checking fraud claims: Heritage Foundation documented 1,620 cases of voter fraud from 1982-2025, including 100 cases of noncitizens voting. That's about 0.000008% of more than 1.3 billion votes cast in presidential elections in that time. Linda Qiu www.nytimes.com/2026/03/27/u...

This is the kind of thing Trump does that demonstrates to anyone with a soul that he is a despicable person. He can't help but say these things, because that's just who he is.

Wow!!!

Trump isn't making things better, he's making things almost impossible. What happens when farmers declare bankruptcy because fertilizer costs and fuel costs are too high, and no immigrants are around to harvest the crop? @carlquintanilla.bsky.social

It never, ever was America first. It always was and still is Trump first.

“For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.” 2 Timothy 4:3

NATO is a defensive alliance whose main goal is deterrence, not a mercenary force

(WSJ) - American oil executives delivered a bleak message to Trump officials in recent days: The energy crisis the Iran war has unleashed is likely to get worse. @wsj.com www.wsj.com/business/ene...

Occasionally the internet still delivers

Trump insulted, patronized and tariffed American allies. Now he wants their help. How should they respond?

Of course he is.

Everyone is talking about oil in the Strait of Hormuz. But the bigger story may be fertilizer. Disrupt those supply chains and the consequences show up months later—smaller harvests, tighter grain supplies, and higher food prices.

If the refineries shut down, the global economy is in deep trouble.

“.. Trump has quietly asked Hill Republicans if he should fire Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, the latest sign of her tenuous standing inside the West Wing, according to multiple Republicans who have spoken with the president ..” @punchbowlnews.bsky.social punchbowl.news/archive/3526...
