We can no longer stand by while the criminal-in-chief ransacks our government and lays waste to our democracy. Time to knuckle down.

Secret "concepts of a plan." The actual plan will be released in two weeks. Um, two months. Er, never.

The only GOP health care plan is to hasten the death of Americans before we can cost Big Insurance any more $.

I’ve been a diehard #Dodgers fan for 51 years, going back to LA’s heated battles against the Big Red Machine to Hershiser and Gibson’s 80s heroics to last night’s legendary win. 🔥

But big respect to Toronto. They played their hearts out, and showed amazing grit.

Most def, a WS we’ll never forget.

The 2024 election happened a year ago.

Why is Kristen Welker spending 10 minutes belligerently focusing on last year instead of on Tuesday’s consequential vote?

#MeetthePress: Only marginally better than CBS News.

Britain is a beloved ally, a fellow NATO member. If they were to attack us militarily, would anyone say, “We can’t fight back! It would be against our policies”? Of course not.

Same with #Prop50. California’s districting rules assume a legal, sane environment. That ship has sailed.

Vote YES on 50!

Are we great yet? Is this the gilded age?

How about we make America good again? Decent, humane, caring, leaderly, kind?

Bc being good is a shitload better than great.

This is America under the lawless scourge of Trump.

Stoneball @stoneballs.bsky.social · 1d

Trump is the kind of person that the giants who went to the moon and won WWII despise: Vain, boastful, a loudmouth, immodest, rude, arrogant, stupid.

And now there’s a whole generation of Republican assholes who’ve remade themselves in his image.

“What have you got to lose?” #Trump memorably asked in 2024.

Decency
Our economy
Civility
Peace
Our national honor
Health care
Food security
The moral high ground
Sleep
Regard for our fellow man
The value of truth
Respect for his toadies
Shared values
The East Wing
Respect for the law
Our humanity

Maybe he really *isn’t* in charge.

Maybe they’ve relegated him to reviewing color swatches for ballroom drapery, feeling up interns and redesigning the loo, while literal psychopath Stephen Miller and cartoon villain/bedraggled wino Steve Bannon run this evil fascist shitshow.

A friend is scheduled to fly United Tues. for a long-awaited trip to see his son.

Despite booking far in advance, he has little confidence United will get him there on time & rightfully believes his time-limited visit will be cut woefully short.

Trump, Sean Duffy and #UnitedAirlines are to blame.

Fk #UnitedAirlines.

For their CEO to pose with JD Vance and bleat out GOP talking points in this environment, when the GOP can’t even keep planes flying, tells me everything I need to know.

Trump & House Repubs' shitty hack at the Affordable Care Act, which they've tried to kill for 15 years, will swell the number of uninsured Americans to MORE THAN 40M.

More than 12% of the citizens of the world's richest nation will not have health coverage.

Democrats say HELL NO to this injustice.

Mike Johnson and Donald Trump are literally taking food out of the mouths of children.

Nearly 20% of SNAP recipients are households with kids.

Oh, but Trump’s “main focus” is building his golden ballroom, per Karoline Leavitt.

Priorities.

American tax $ and weaponry support Israel's terror campaign in Gaza. Our government now acknowledges Israel has committed "hundreds of human rights violations" in its relentless, murderous assault on Palestinians.

Yet we're still all in with Israel, which also did nothing to support a ceasefire.🤬

BREAKING - Andrew’s title must not go to waste, so even though I’m a Yank, I have agreed to assume the role and live in Royal Lodge.

In my first royal action, I’m hosting Harry, Megan and the kids for Thanksgiving. My queen wave is coming along swimmingly. Pip, pip!

OK, YOU try commenting on David Ignatius' pathetic column on Trump's China trip. There's nothing I could say that would clear the Post's censorious comment bots.

Mike needs to get off Grindr and get back to work.

Stoneball @stoneballs.bsky.social · 3d

By a 2-to-1 margin, Americans are rightly blaming the Disaster in Chief, #GrindrMike & his fellow Congressional suck-ups & Thune’s Senate for the #shutdown.

Republicans fk’d it up. Now they must fix it.

Stop snatching food from kids while building a gilded ballroom and giving our $ to Argentina.

Inveterate racist Ron DeSantis has ordered Fla. public univs. to "pull the plug" on use of H1-B visas.

In a "speech" at USF, DeSantis took turns lobbing jingoistic insults at people from other countries: Spain, China, "supposed Palestine," etc.

What. A. Dick.

America sees who is withholding food/SNAP benefits from children. Who is firing and refusing to pay federal workers.

Who is dramatically jacking up healthcare costs.

And in growing numbers, they appropriately blame Trump & Republicans for the government shutdown.
abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics...

Americans increasingly concerned about government shutdown, more blame Republicans and Trump than Democrats: Poll

Nearly half say Trump and GOP are responsible for the shutdown, the poll finds.
