AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

Does GO☭ realize "their kids" don't mature until after aged 35?

Wisdom barely begins to emerge, then, until after age 35.

Their leader did say, smart people dont like him.

His people don't mature until aged 82? It fits. Immaturity idolized by immaturity!

Kids following kids!

Turns out Trump's meddling could punish Mr. Milei at the polls. Surveys earlier this month showed that more than 60 percent of Argentines have a negative view of Mr. Trump, and his action has provoked public anger in Argentina, & backlash from the country's political opposition.

#BlueSkyVets When MAGA realizes Trump's policies directly impacts them negatively it doesn’t lead to a change of allegiance.

No, they shift the blame using GOP talking points. The "us vs. them" narrative; I just wanted to remind you that YOU VOTED FOR THIS “SCHIT SHOW”. #ProudBlue #DemVoice1

JD Vance thinks this is okay because he was groomed to think rape and white supremacy are acceptable male behaviors. This is how he expects Republican men to act.

There is no reason to bully an 8 year old girl to push a political agenda.

I think Goldman Sachs has reasonably reliable sources & researchers they rely on to make their daily investments. This doesn’t look good for the USA or its consumers. The cost of living adjustments should be pretty big in the next year. It bodes ill for my budget.

Jon Cooper @joncooper-us.bsky.social · 1d

According to Goldman Sachs, 88% of US tariffs are being paid by American companies and consumers. Only 9% are being paid by foreign exporters.

The admin. is refusing to provide Congress information about the strikes on boats that have killed numerous people.
Last week the GOP voted not to limit these strikes by Trump.
FYI this admin. has seized the least amount of drugs compared to others.

Trump made clear the $20 billion was not for ArgentIna but for Milei. Trump said if Milei did not remain as President he would withdraw the money from Argentina. So while troops and govt. employees do without paycheck and health care is ripped away from millions Milei gets $20 billion. #ProudBlue
