Amazing, thoughtful, & coordinated team protesting! This team spent some advance thought & prep but a good way to visually make a bigger impact; both if read & impact of the volume. And all signs can be reused alone or in small groups. I'm impressed!

The kicker is U.S borrows the money from China to give to Argentine and then borrows more money from China to bailout American farmers!

Everybody knows the U.S current national debt is $37 trillion!

So Trump is kicking people off healthcare to pay for this clown show.

Help me to understand this:

Trump gives $20 billion to Argentine so Argentine can grow more soybeans to sell to China and drive American farmers out of the soybean market and finance Argentine President's rock concert and book tour!

“By delaying Grijalva’s swearing-in, Johnson only deepens suspicious that the White House is hiding something.”

It’s time for Dems to find a judge who can swear Grijalva in. Enough of the bull crap from House Rethuglicans.

#BlueSkyVets The Trump administration has begun laying off more than 4K federal workers amid the gov’t shutdown, fulfilling a threat from the administration if Congress didn’t pass a government funding bill. The layoffs go beyond the temporary furloughs. #ProudBlue #DemsUnited #DemVoice1

We need common sense in a time of madness. You don't have to believe in climate change, human caused or not.

No matter what, we need more power now; fossil fuels, renewables & the brand new. The more energy options we have at different price points, the better!

What are climate tipping points? They sound scary, especially for ice sheets and oceans, but there’s still room for optimism | The-14

Climate tipping points are irreversible changes in Earth’s systems like ice sheets and rainforests, but swift action can still prevent the worst impacts.

Watch this quick explainer on the Hatch Act and you’ll see just how far the regime has gone—propaganda in airports, partisan emails, and political orders from the top. It’s not “messaging,” it’s a full-blown assault on the law that keeps our government nonpartisan.

Everyone ages differently. Unlike little kids, who learn skills more-or-less on schedule, aging rates depend on many long-term factors. Trump has been babbling irrational nonsense, contradicting himself, & displaying other symptoms of senility for years, in addition to his megalomania.

Trump lives in a narcissistic ego protective alternate reality where he is always the larger than life hero, or if needed, the most innocent man ever and he's getting worse.
