Members of Congress who describe, accurately, Donald Trump as a tyrant, a fascist, or an authoritarian must answer why, when given a chance to exert their Constitutional power to remove him from office, they chose to stand with Trump himself.

Can't wait for the Tompkins County Democratic Committee to lecture us all again about how we have to stand with Congressman Josh Riley, because he's "on our side".

BREAKING: NY Gov. Kathy Hochul gutted an AI regulation bill awaiting her signature and replaced it wholesale with a weaker version sought by Big Tech firms. At least two of the groups lobbying on the bill held fundraisers for Hochul in recent weeks.

Actually, the teachings of Jesus are catnip to Donald Trump and his MAGA followers.

Have you read ALL of the New Testament? The character arc of Jesus is clear. He starts out preaching love and acceptance, but then even in the Gospels starts threatening people, and by Revelation is full fascist.

23 people have died in ICE custody.

A Chinese immigrant named Chaofeng Ge was found hanging with his arms & legs tied behind his back.

Randall Esquivel was deported in a vegetative state & died soon after.

People are being tortured, neglected & disabled.

Abolish ICE & close the camps.

Why is Josh Riley joining in right wing Republican attacks against environmental protections?

Lots of articles right now about how people are keeping cars and phones "too long," or are "hurting the economy" by not buying disposable items. Reminder:they want us all to consume and consume and consume because that props up debt slavery and unfettered capitalism. Frugality is a revolutionary act

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.

Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.

Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

Who will **he blame this time? He already fired the knowledgeable BLS "stats lady":

**Trump fired Erika McEntarfer on 8/1/25, just hours after the BLS released a weaker-than-expected jobs report for July 2025, which also included significant downward revisions to job growth for May and June.
Breaking: The US lost 32,000 jobs in November, far worse than expected.

Small businesses were the hardest hit.

It's too easy to say that Christian Nationalism contradicts the teachings of Jesus.
In chapter 9 of the Book of Revelation, the Bible promises that God will unleash terrible monsters to torture all non-Christians for 5 months.
Jesus will be there to watch it.
People read that and get ideas.
When people ask how Christians can reconcile their support for Donald Trump's cruel MAGA ideology, I ask them to read the Bible's New Testament Book of Revelation Chapter 9, in which Jesus and the Christian god torture all non-Christians for 5 months until they want to die.

Congressman Josh Riley of Ithaca and Binghamton voted for a bill written by cryptocurrency lobbyists to deregulate cryptocurrency.

Now, Bitcoin is crashing anyway.
Josh Riley sacrificed his integrity and gave us financial instability in its place.
Crypto = corruption.
Bitcoin got the deregulation it wanted from Congress.
Bitcoin got a President who promotes cryptocurrency.
Bitcoin is still falling apart.
That's because Bitcoin was never anything other than a scam.
