Trump filed lawsuits over jokes, tweets, and news articles, but not once over any of the countless allegations of child rape. I feel like more people should mention that.

These two morons have us gearing up for war in Nigeria and Venezuela after previous strikes on Yemen and Iran and intervention in Gaza, we are beginning nuclear testing for the first time in 33 years, and all this comes after threatening Greenland, Panama and Canada.

People who force their religion on others will force their politics on others. It’s why we separate church from state.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Our new health insurance premium feels more like a shakedown‼️

Thank you, @politicsgirl.bsky.social , for sharing your story. You’re right—there are millions like you.

Our new premium is over $3K/month for a family of three. Could we scrape it together? Maybe. Should we have to? No.

I think we all need to take a minute or two to pray for Jamaica as they face the brutal face of Hurricane Melissa. No parties. No politics. Just humans praying for humans. 🙏🙌💗

If That’s a donation, it goes to the treasury and only congress can decide how to spend it. No such (lawful) thing as private payment of government obligation.

I agree with this sentiment. I am looking forward to the spiciness I know Walz can bring to electrify voters, but he needs to get it going now!

The US hit an all-time high $38 trillion in national debt, thanks to Donald trump.

This marks a +$500 Billion jump in October, or +$23 billion per day, again, thanks to Donald Trump.

Donald Trump is bad for the economy, business, and your pocket. Support MAGA, lose money.

Fifteen million are about to lose health care. Premiums are set to double. Housing & child care are outrageously expensive.

Meanwhile, Trump’s priorities are demolishing the White House, bailing out Argentina & now threatening war with Venezuela.

“A lot of people say,” “I’m told,” “I don’t know him”…he knows jack 💩 about the Binance founder that he pardoned because others told him to, but the reporters “know nothing about nothing.” Ridiculous.

With Halloween approaching, I want to point out that the most scary thing I can think of is the FACT that we have a child rapist as our President & a Congress willing to give him cover.
