Can't speak for all, but as a New Yorker I'm in the "slightly exhausted but hanging on" camp. We're stable-ish, it's just that everything costs a kidney here.

MAGA "owning the libs" with American Eagle. Made in Bangladesh & China. And thanks to Trump's tariffs, you’re paying up to 69% MORE for foreign jeans instead of buying American. Peak patriotism. 🇺🇸🤣 #NotMadeInUSA #TariffFail #AmericanEagle

Nice MAGA jeans flex, too bad they're literally tagged "Made in Bangladesh" (or China/Vietnam/Mexico). #NotMadeInUSA #magamoron #AmericanEagle

Chad 🗽🇺🇸 @skychad.bsky.social · Aug 9

MAGA bragging about "American" jeans. with tags that say "Made in Bangladesh/China", AND Trump just slapped a 37% tariff on clothes from Bangladesh. You're literally paying extra to not buy American. 😂 #NotMadeInUSA #TariffFlex #AmericanEagle

Texas Republicans revealed their new, extreme gerrymandered congressional map.

Before TX redistricting:
25 GOP seats
13 Dem seats

After TX redistricting:
30 GOP-leaning seats
8 Dem-leaning seats

When Republicans can’t win, they cheat.

Texas Republicans' proposed gerrymandered congressional map

A map showing the state of Texas, divided into regions shaded in two different intensities of red. Major cities such as Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Austin, Fort Worth, and El Paso are labeled, along with geographical outlines of neighboring states and parts of Mexico.

What are Republicans afraid of that they closed the People’s House instead of facing a public vote?

The Republican congress is now complicit in covering up the Epstein files. There is now a full blown cover up going on right now.

Zohran Kwame Mamdani @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social · Jul 8

We entrust our city's future to the nearly 200,000 teachers, paraprofessionals, counselors and more of the UFT. Now more than ever, they need a mayor who recognizes their value and has their backs. I am honored to earn their endorsement.

UFT @uftnyc.bsky.social · Jul 8

UFT delegates voted to endorse Mamdani because they believe he is the best candidate in the race to advance our union’s agenda: to protect our premium-free health care, fix Tier 6, pass the “RESPECT check” bill, implement the class size law, revamp mayoral control and more.

Is anyone going to ask him about the cuts on NOAA?

Trump’s base will:
Lose healthcare
Watch rural hospitals close
Pay more for food, fuel, and power
Cheer louder than ever
Because the branding works.
He calls it “beautiful.”
He blames immigrants, climate laws, and “welfare cheats.”
And they believe him.

Chad 🗽🇺🇸 @skychad.bsky.social · Jul 4

And the Irony?
The states most dependent on Medicaid and SNAP — Mississippi, West Virginia, Alabama — are the first in line to be gutted.
And they voted for it.

Chad 🗽🇺🇸 @skychad.bsky.social · Jul 4

8. Defense Spending? Bloated.
$158 billion increase
$25 billion for munitions
$50+ billion to militarize the border
A new “Golden Dome” missile shield
Because apparently, the only “entitlement” left is weapons.

Chad 🗽🇺🇸 @skychad.bsky.social · Jul 4

7. Education? Privatized.
Student debt relief canceled
Borrower protections rolled back
Graduate loans slashed
Meanwhile:
Private school donors get a 100% tax credit up to $4 billion
If you can donate $50K, the government thanks you with public money.

Chad 🗽🇺🇸 @skychad.bsky.social · Jul 4

6. Immigration? All Punishment, No Reform.
$170 billion for ICE, walls, and detention
$54 billion to detain families
3.5% tax on remittances
Higher fees for visas, asylum, TPS
No DACA fix. No path to citizenship. Just more enforcement.

Chad 🗽🇺🇸 @skychad.bsky.social · Jul 4

5. Climate Policy? Reversed.
EV and clean energy credits repealed
Emissions standards blocked
Drilling expanded
Strategic Petroleum Reserve refilled
Result:
790,000 clean energy jobs lost
Climate goals delayed a decade
Electricity bills up
Fossil fuel execs? Thriving.

Chad 🗽🇺🇸 @skychad.bsky.social · Jul 4

4. Child Tax Credit? Raised… Technically.
From $2,000 to $2,200/year
That’s $16.67/month per child
Not enough for groceries, but just enough for the illusion of progress
Requires a Social Security number, disqualifying over 1 million U.S. citizen kids in immigrant families.

Chad 🗽🇺🇸 @skychad.bsky.social · Jul 4

3. SNAP (Food Assistance)? Gutted.
$267 billion cut, the largest in U.S. history
Stricter work rules
States now cover 75% of admin costs = slower, fewer benefits
Mixed-status households? Undocumented family members don’t count even if they eat there.

Chad 🗽🇺🇸 @skychad.bsky.social · Jul 4

2. Medicaid? Slashed.
11 million people lose coverage
5 million lose ACA subsidies
Work requirements, asset tests, constant re-verification
Own a used car? Too rich.
Miss a form? You’re out.
