If this stuff would end up on the news it would absolutely motivate voters. Plenty of people who don't give a shit about politics would absolutely give af about this.

What @kagrox.bsky.social said. None of it really makes sense in the least.

This article hasn’t explained a single thing about how this happened. I didn’t even get a sense that Jared knew how it happened.

Get to a yes first and then work out the details? Why would I give you a yes without details? What does that even mean?

Here’s how Jared Kushner, President Trump's son-in-law, helped broker an Israel-Hamas breakthrough from a makeshift command center in Florida.

And if you're thinking "Wow look at these guys vote against their own interests," no they didn't.

Most US farmers' interests are just NOT what people think they are.

The loudest voices in ag are millionaires who're worried about taxes more than anything else.

They're just rich. It's not that deep

ps. If you're worried about how small farmers going bankrupt... most small farmers are millionaires with a 6-figure income. From a day job off the farm. Small farms don't have enough acreage to lose real $$.

It's the bigger farms that will suffer the most. That's why they're hollerin for bailouts.

Anyone else remember January 6th. trump and maga claimed it was Pelosi who didn’t call in the National Guard because he couldn’t. It was an actual insurrection ffs.

Trump: "Here in Washington we've deployed federal law enforcement and National Guard to restore public safety, and we're working to replicate that in numerous places all over the country. We have a very powerful military, we have a very powerful National Guard."

Greg Abbott is a lackey of Donald Trump.

He’s going against exactly what he said he would do last year.

Look at his eyes - pure panic.

These "federal agents" are like clumsy mall cops with guns. No training, no control, no clue.

It’s a miracle they haven’t shot each other yet.

They're a danger to the public.

Outrageous indeed.

Utah lost $87 Million that Biden gave for road projects... trump's big beautiful bill stripped it away.

And they voted for him.

St. George loses $87M in federal funding for I-15 project after Trump admin cuts

St. George was banking on $87M in Biden-era grants to reconnect neighborhoods split by I-15 — but Donald Trump's spending bill cuts have derailed those plans.

I think things are going in a weird direction (which I ran out of time to write up).
1) GOPers are getting pissed abt Trump's now public rescissions and threats to refuse to pay backpay
2) Farm country is in deep shit
3) Republicans (incl Trump) know they need an ACA split but it'll split the party
