Kevin Kiley is my rep. He is a spineless MAGA boot licker. This is more performative than substantive.

If it's going to happen then they may as well own the whole thing.

Thank you Congressman Neguse for laying it plain.

While completely ignoring the fact that if China simply says "we are no longer buying US Treasuries" there will be a smoking hole where the US economy once was. All while the party of fiscal conservatism adds $trillions more to our debt.

"relative to *much worse/more extreme* levels of carbon emissions than are we are currently producing"

Correct me if I am wrong, but they also ignore potential feedback loops too, no?

Kind of like the US Congress.

Trump has that same look whenever someone has handed his ass to him.

On the bright side, we can now celebrate TACO Thursday in addition to TACO Tuesday.

Have you seen who is in his cabinet?

Working hard for that peace prize.

Medical insurance becoming unaffordable? No problem.
Cutting off food aid? Let them eat cake.
Destroy our research and medical infrastructure? Cost of doing business.

Threaten corporate profits? Whoa now! That’s a step too far.

Any aid should come with a note saying that it was provided by the generosity of AZ democrats. Petty, yes. But never let an opportunity go to waste.

The former heroin addict with no medical background and a brain worm.

Duh.

I consider the fact that they ever voted for or supported Trump to have already ended the friendship. I have purged my relationships.

Before the election my brother-in-law (a very successful businessman, Trumper and hard core Christian) said that Trump did not have anything to do with P2025. Willfully ignorant. I am now polite to my BiL in family situations but otherwise do my best to avoid him.

I read recently that Walmart and McDonald's employees are among the top recipients of SNAP benefits. This is an indirect subsidy to these companies. More of the "privatize the profits, socialize the costs" mentality that currently passes for conservatism.

Unfortunately his view was validated by SCOTUS.

1) The house will never pass it
2) Even if they did, Trump would need to sign it

See the problem with this performative legislation?

If the reports on Trump's health concerns are even half accurate he will not be physically able to run in 2028.

And, not or. They are the 3 headed beast tearing apart our country.

I live in a very red NCal county. We are being carpet-bombed with anti-50 advertising. All of it is composed of half-truths.

While also minimizing the hard work that is being done in the fields.

56% of US adults have a reading comprehension below 6th grade. 21% are functionally illiterate. Critical thinking skills go hand-in-hand with literacy. Lack of critical thinking skills make it easy to manipulate people with fear-based propaganda (they're eating cats and dogs!!!). That's why, IMO.
