Grandmother, avid reader and Wordler (I’ve solved in one turn twice). Registered Independent, Twitter refugee, looking for wit and wisdom on Bluesky. I’d have to like Trump much more to loathe him.

Surely our democratic leaders can come with a plan to work around Johnson to swear in Adelita Grijalva?

DemCast USA @demcast.com · 13h

It's time for Speaker Johnson to quit stalling and swear in Democrat Adelita Grijalva to secure the final vote on releasing the Epstein files.

I’m really not comfortable with the idea that I’m better informed than the speaker of the house.

REPORTER: We know the president moved forward with mass layoffs. We're also learning there were significant cuts to staff at special education services. Are you comfortable with those cuts?

MIKE JOHNSON: I haven't seen the specifics of that and I don't know

Call me picky, but I really think a president should have more important things on his mind than this.

It will be interesting to see what happens to George’s career now that he’s insulted thin skinned Vance on national TV.

NewsCurrentNow @newscurrentnow.com · 10h

George Stephanopoulos did what every journalist should’ve been doing since 2000 — shutting down GOP gaslighting, dodging, and endless filibusters meant to bury the truth.

Finally. Someone called out the BS on live TV. No more lies. No more games.

Give Trump and his gestapo a break—they’re new at this fascist stuff but they have a manifesto called Project 2025 and it’s working out better than expected.

UNBELIEVABLE THAT THIS IS HAPPENING IN AMERICA! I think we are now exceeding the norms of Russia, North Korea and China at political violence against our citizens.

Yet the investigation was stopped. Why would any American accept that as normal and right?

It’s pretty damn tragic that we have a president, vice president, and cabinet secretaries we can’t rely on to tell the truth about anything. It seems like a pretty low bar to me—to be able to trust the leaders of your country not mislead you.

DeedsMcDeeDee @deedeedeeds.bsky.social · 14h

Johnson is pretty poorly informed for a man with such an important position isn’t he? I feel like I know more about what’s happening in government than he does.

DeedsMcDeeDee @deedeedeeds.bsky.social · 15h

I can’t help but wonder if Homan accepted a $50,000 bribe based on the premise he’d have an influential position when Trump won the election, what has he done now that he’s in a position to actually deliver on those promises? It should be pretty easy to investigate, right?

Wajahat Ali @wajali.bsky.social · 16h

What did Tom Homan do with the $50K he took in a CAVA bag from undercover FBI agents?

Just keep asking this everyday. Its a big scandal they can't escape because Pam Bondi and her DOJ killed the investigation. They're cornered on this and the Epstein Files.

DeedsMcDeeDee @deedeedeeds.bsky.social · 16h

Even for the most severe malignant narcissism, Trump’s megalomania is out of control. There’s continuing evidence of it with every new speech, every ongoing attack on a political foe, each new insult to a reporter. In the reality he imagines, he is already a dictator.

At a time in our nations history when we need it more than ever, the mainstream media is failing us. Accurate information must be shared far and wide.

There were at least two ceasefires under Biden! In which more than five times as many living Israeli hostages were released in exchange for 240 Palestinians! Has everyone forgotten this?

I was happy George Stephanopoulos cut Vance off the air mid-lie but his career may be over as a result! Hell has no fury like this vengeful, lawless, administration in which abuse of power is an everyday occurrence. He insulted Vance, who is a shameless bully high on his self-importance.

I don’t see any way for this to end except Civil War if we don’t succumb to a nation planned for many years by Christian nationalists, detailed in Project 2025. I beg you, prove me wrong.

A very serious problem getting more serious every day the Trump Oligarch Administration continues.

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 1d

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

I just heard Bondi‘s testimony before Congress described as an “evidence free characterization,” which proves lying is so prevalent new phrases have to be invented to describe it.
