Do you ever watch West Wing or The Diplomat or even JAG and wander how in the world Trump reacts in those meetings? Is he even there?

I'm begging major accounts to not use the r-word, even if quoting or screenshotting that asshole. Redact it if necessary. All you are doing is normalizing that horrible language.

City of Dallas (city council) is considering tearing down it's classic City Hall structure, design by architect I.M. Pei in 1978 and highlighted in 1987 Robocop. All because Miriam Adelson-owned Dallas Mavericks and CRE developers want a new arena and casino. From "City of Hate" to "City of Stupid"

It's going to cost so much to rebuild America's institutions post-Trump: rebuilding the Dept of Education, USAID, healthcare, clearing out the fascists out of Border Patrol (assuming we get the opportunity to rebuild it all).
Democrats need to start playing the long game.

The average premium for employer healthcare is just over $27,000, with employee paying about $7,000 and employer paying $20,000. With average $100,000 income, that's 32% total.
Corporations should be screaming for a national single payer plan.

A reminder: inflation burns but it is the level of prices relative to income that most consumers are struggling with. Too many don’t have the income to make ends meet. That is the result of compounding price increases without broad enough gains in wages …

We will never see eye to eye with republicans on healthcare.
It’s because most of us believe healthcare should be a human right, affordable to anyone.
They see it as a profit-rich enterprise for big pharma and insurance.
This is why any solution they put forward is invariably a non-starter.

Right now would be the best time for Democrats to unveil a universal healthcare plan. $2,000/month premiums, plus deductibles, co-insurance, denials and financial stress. Or 5% of income w/single payer. No insurance companies.
Show the public who cares about them.

One day this monstrosity, Trump's ballroom and secretly-funded bunker underneath, will be razed to jubilant cheers and celebrations.
I hope I live long enough to see it. But it'll take a generation far stronger than mine, as we've failed to protect us from this treasonous demon.

I guess it's good that we've all gotten past "surely *this* will be too much for Republicans" that many of us believed in ~2016–2018. Trump can literally bulldoze the White House and Republicans are cool with it. He can hand himself a quarter billion from the Treasury and that's OK. Anything goes.

People think politics is corrupt… all of it. And to fix it, we need to rebuild trust.
That’s why I’m running on:
- Banning stock trading by members of Congress
- Overturning Citizens United
- And not taking a dime of corporate PAC $$

In Texas’ 2026 GOP Senate primary: Cornyn brags he voted with Trump 99% of the time, Paxton was indicted, and Hunt’s a shameless loyalist. The race or Trump could implode.
A center-right Republican could easily sneak through when it all blows up.

In Israel, families get monthly child allowances and a birth grant. Healthcare is universal, and college is subsidized.
And yet America is sending Israel $billions to help fund a genocide, while people here go bankrupt over healthcare costs and can’t afford kids or college.
