I was raised south of the line, and now live on the north side of the line. Amazing, 10 miles, but what a difference. Kids are “young professionals” living in Denver, tried everything (including bribery) to entice them back to Michigan, not happening, lol

If you’re on this platform, any platform, and you’re spewing out… how dare they, how could they, fight back, get out in the street.
Unless you are in Every Conversation, asking the person you were talking to, who did you vote for, in Every Dinner, Every Meeting,
then don’t waste my fucking time here

Stopping this is what @RepJohnRose called “the progressive radical left agenda”

Marge wants to address this. Why don’t Tennessee Republicans care?

Here’s a headline you won’t see in Tennessee today: “Senators @MarshaBlackburn & @SenatorHagerty vote to continue tariffs on Canada”

Tennessee is feeling the pain. 4 Republicans voted with Dems to stop them. Not Bill & Marsha.

And Marsha wants to be governor?

Open, brazen corruption.

Trump pardoned a crypto tycoon convicted of helping terrorists & child sex traffickers launder 💰 — in exchange for personal enrichment.

Governor Lee is a traitor to the state of Tennessee and is willing to let people starve to death including the elderly and children to score political points from a despot who is rotting before our eyes. Loser behavior - call him up and let him know you see right through him:

Interesting that they put a photo of a black woman on the announcement, when 36% of people who benefit from SNAP are white, followed by 29% Hispanic, and 23% black.

If @GovBillLee used the billions in reserves to keep hundreds of thousands of Tennesseans from going hungry he wouldn’t be able to use the state site to blame Dems 🤷🏼

(That he calls them “customers” says it all)

FACT: In July, Marsha Blackburn voted for the largest cut to SNAP in the history of the program.

Now, 700,000 TN children, seniors & people w/ disabilities are going to miss meals and she’s pretending to care b/c she’s running for Governor.

She thinks your too dumb to remember

I'm probably far too cynical for my own good, but I'm guessing they will release the funds for food relief just in time for Thanksgiving, and their base will call them heroes for it.

One nice quirk of Dutch elections: you can vote in many museums, including Anne Frank House, the Frans Hals, maritime museums in R’dam & A’dam. Cast your vote, then see some art. Nice.

Or if you prefer, there also polling points at former concentration camps 😳

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
