We’d all be better off if we’d had Founding Mothers instead of floundering fathers. We can be better than this—better than what we were before he started tearing it all down. It’s time we become, for the first time, the country we’ve claimed to be.

Share this, please. It’s an excellent explainer, not just for NC.

Breaking: SNAP benefits are getting shut off next week for 16 million kids - including 600,000 in NC - because the USDA is refusing to use its $6b emergency fund.

They’re playing shutdown politics in a way that will cause a major hunger crisis - so I’m taking them to court to stop them.

Republicans publicly claimed they wouldn’t cut Medicare. That’s why they did it so sneakily.

Why don’t we just abolish the senate since it exists to skew representation?

She was being paid to produce propaganda before this role. I think by China? I can’t recall the details.

the Republican party is a violent terrorist organization who wants to destroy this country. it has no place in the future of American politics. it must be entirely crushed, and the future of political disagreements in the near term is the left and right wings of the Dems.

Wait. Is this why he’s starving people? Because he wants us to be Hungary? I wouldn’t put it past an imbecile who confuses political asylum with insane asylums.

BREAKING: Cornell University inks $60 million deal w/ Trump admin to get its federal funding turned back on

Their capitulation allows the White House to threaten other schools.

Alternative headline — “Cornell’s cowardice fuels Trump’s revenge.”

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

Thanks! I already got my letter that insurance is dropping the coverage. I’d just like to know some facts so I know how much to contribute to my HSA!

It definitely won’t be Obama or the Pod Save guys who will lead in the DS direction.

June Carter @powertothepeople2.bsky.social · 16h

Because they aren’t. They know what they’re doing.

June Carter @powertothepeople2.bsky.social · 16h

Just one of scads of issues with the pod save guys. As few appearances as he makes, why this junk event? (Don’t yell at me for not deifying Obama, friends. He was too moderate, the drone shit was unforgivable; I’m not a “fan”, and won’t ever be, of a politician. That’s how you end up with maga.)

Remember DNC, it doesn't matter who you run, Fox news will call them a socialist. You could endorse the corpse of Ronald Reagan and their first segment would be "Extreme socialist Reagan picked by Soros to destroy America"

Stop caring what fox news says, and listen to your base. It clearly works.

Saying trumprx .gov exists might be an overstatement. It’s a single landing page that says “coming soon” and has links to his EO listed multiple times. They have to actually launch the site for the discount to work, and I’m less than confident that site ever goes live.

June Carter @powertothepeople2.bsky.social · 1d

Yep. We have to make health insurance elections next week. trumprx appears to be set to “drop” meds and prices on Jan 1 like they’re new sneakers. You can’t even see which meds and at what price yet. Pretty unhelpful for planning, and that’s assuming trumprx ever actually exists.

June Carter @powertothepeople2.bsky.social · 1d

Where did you see it’s the only starter dose? I’m trying to find bits and pieces in articles and put this puzzle together! The details matter a lot, and the “trumprx” website’s January 1 “drop” of meds and their prices is too late to factor into insurance elections.

The utter stupidity of pursuing a criminal trial against someone for throwing a sandwich that bounced off a bullet proof vest pissing away hundreds of thousands of dollars for this joke is the perfect encapsulation of this Administration.
