Not only for the military, but for their own staff as well as thousands of #Federal staff

Many of whom live paycheck to paycheck

Imagine working for a #Congressperson. You have to be at work and won't get paid, but they continue to receive pay while they're sent home.

#mikejohnson warns #USA thaet if #democrats retake the #House in 2026, #trump Presidency is over

OK #America, you know what you need to do from here

Unless #trump finds a way to cancel the midterms entirely, which is very likely IMHO

Thank you #Rush for calling your new drummer #NeilPeart SUCCESSOR instead of his REPLACEMENT

There will NEVER be another #NeilPeart

#stephenmiller is 100% #Project2025 approved and is a modern day #JosephGoebbels

And it's likely he will be #jdvance #VP pick if anything happens to #trump

I suspect he'll end up leader of the #FourthReich, which #USA seems to be moving toward

#trump says #trump admin laid off " #democrat leaning: #Federal workers

It is 100% illegal to fire people based on their political leanintgs

It is also 100% illegal to lay off workers while they're on furlough

I expect a massive clasw action lawsuit incoming very soon

It's especially unusual for someone who six months ago was cited as being a "perfect physical specimen" and "the best shape of any President in history" by doctors

If they lied, they should lose their medical licenses

#trump says #Federal layoffs are targeting #Democrat oriented workers

The class action lawsuits on this for wrongful dismissal are going to be numerous

#trump is literally admitting he's breaking the law by firing people based on their political leanings.

You also might not want to provide unlimited weapons to one side in the conflict you claimed to end by negotiation

#trump could have ended this war any time over the last 2 years by simply stopping the weapons supply to #israel and allowing a vote in #UN condemning the #Genocide in #Gaza

There is nothing that says the #Speaker needs to swear her in

Why can't #HakeemJeffries do it?

I have significant worries for the civilians returning to #Gaza city because of this ceasefire

My guess is #netanyahu will wait until a significant number of them are back before he resumes boming raids

#gop want work requirements for people on food stamps and welfare

But apparently the same work requirements aren't required for #CONGRESS to get their paychecks

#mikejohnson needs to face a vote of #NoConfidence if he won't recall the #House to work immediately

#trump is STILL insisting that #China are paying the tariffs he's imposing on them

And most of his #maga followers are believing this

In reality, if he goes through and imposes 100% addtl tariffs, #Americans will see increased costs on almost everything

Especially big ticket electronics

This week #trump has okayed #Qatar opening an air base in #USA as well as given #Argentina a $20 bil peso bailout so their soybean farmers can replace #USA farmers unable to sell their crop to #China due to tariffs

But sure, tell me about #AmericaFirst

bevymart.bsky.social @bevymart.bsky.social · 15h

In #USA #trump took away free tax reporting for low income people in an effort to force them off benefits they qualify for

In #Canada #MarkCarney just made tax reporting automatic for low income people, to make sure they qualify for all the benefits they can

In a world of #trump, be a #MarkCarney

#elonmusk couldn't either, but the heads of almost every department followed his recommendation and fired tens of thousands of people

Most of whom have been rehired since because firing them in this manner is illegal

You want a real life #ConspiracyTheory

Let's start investigating in depth what's going on between #trump family and #Qatar govt

It's been going on for YEARS, whatever it is

bevymart.bsky.social @bevymart.bsky.social · 15h

in 2025 #trump allows #Qatar to build an airbase in the #USA

In 2017 #trump called #Qatar "funders of terrorism at the highest level"

Other than the #Qatar govt bailing out #JaredKushner and giving #trump a $400 mil bribe, nothing changed

If #mikejohnson won't recall the #House into session it's time to force a vote of #NoConfidence
