Frumpy can cut all the programs he wants. Once the worst president in history is gone, a serious and democratic president will have to rebuild the economy and our country back again.

The president called out “the most egregious, socialist, semi communist, probably not full communist" programs as those that will be impacted.

Major problem.

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 2d

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

We should mandate a work requirement for House Republicans to get their health care. How about they have to work at least one week a month to keep their government health insurance?

The end of the US empire is getting closer and closer, and will probably end if Trump is not expelled. The Irony is that Russia is collapsing at the same time.

The pain from the government shutdown is about to hit the public.

The ongoing government shutdown will collide with the U.S. economy this week, as missed paychecks and the absence of billions of dollars of government services reverberate beyond federal workers and sting the broader public.

Republicans hope Erika Kirk can bring more young women into the party

As Erika Kirk takes over leadership of Turning Point USA, which was run by her late husband, Charlie Kirk, Republicans hope she can help close the gender gap among young voters.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

Yes. OUT YOUR ICE NEIGHBORS. They don’t deserve any peace as long as they’re being paid to tear decent families apart.

NO PEACE FOR ICE AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS!!!

John Pavlovitz @johnpavlovitz.bsky.social · 3d

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

“CDC is over. It was killed. This administration only knows how to break things. They have made America at risk for outbreaks and attacks by nefarious players. People should be scared,” said Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, former director of the CDC’s National Center on Immunization and Respiratory Diseases
