The toxic misogyny has been a reliable throughline of the Trump Era since 2015.

Trump ignores a question from a woman reporter but says, "I just like to watch her talk. Good job. Thank you darling."

There is absolutely zero chance that a man who took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from an FBI agent on camera would have been appointed to any position by any other president.

I see this as projection to what they may have done to TRUMPS former National Security Advisor John Bolton.

He's real proud of lowering the taxes of super rich people while taking away healthcare from millions.

Oh just Trump riding around his golf club telling his rich members "your taxes are coming down" while the government is shut down with thousands losing their jobs, people losing health insurance and kids going hungry….totally normal stuff

No Kings Day is almost here.

The Trump regime believes that if it can overwhelm us with atrocities and threats, we'll surrender our rights without fighting for them.

But the people won’t bow down. We will rise. Join us at a peaceful protest on Saturday: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns.

100% of his salary is paid by WA state.

Elon fired him. Share his story.

Baby Boom - absolutely loved that movie. One of the movies that taught me women belonged in the board room & CEO office. That yes, you could have it all. I was in my 2nd year of college when I saw it and I knew in that moment that I was going to climb the ladder and be an executive. She inspired me❤️

Just a theory, but is it possible she knows or has seen the proof of her once Idol Trump. When that happens, if true, it can break everything you once believed in, make you question it all and be the catalyst that makes you go in a different direction. Something has definitely happened.

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation.

This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.

Yes, for 2026 plans. For the past 10 years we've seen modest increases between 6% to 9% now we will see anywhere from 15% to 30% increases depending on the plans and cost of cases. So if the makeup of your plans are strongly older participants then the cost will higher to the employer plans.

HR here, I work with our benefits broker. Definitely very aware of what is about to hit employers and most importantly our workforce. Scary times. 😨

From the story:

…he was left tied up outside the building for nearly 3 hours before agents let him go.

“I asked why they were holding me … an American citizen. They said I had to wait until they looked me up. I asked if they had a warrant & I asked for a lawyer. They never brought one.”

To be clear: most 2019 dem candidates supported extending healthcare covg options to undocumented immigrants, but those policies never became law.
Today - there are no democratic proposals that include such coverage.
Claiming Dems shut down the govt over healthcare covg for migrants is FALSE
