I like to read the bills in the US House and NC House myself rather than rely on the media to tell me what to think about them. It has been revelatory.

No DM's, porn, crypto, or gofundme.

The GOP not only voted against this, but they passed HR 2811, Limit, Save, Grow Act, which is a wish list for the oil & gas industry. Check it out for yourself you can find it on congress.gov

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.

This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

Words of wisdom
If we’ve learned anything these past few years, it's that:

1) Workers keep America going, not billionaires
2) Corporate profits don't trickle down to workers
3) Poverty is a policy choice
4) Health care is a human right
5) Strikes work

Let's keep fighting for a better world.

The answer is every American would have $471,000 annually. Poverty is an unnecessary evil.

None of us are safe from the Trump Gestapo. Call your reps.
We must speak out against #ICELawlessness every day. They are brutalizing immigrants of all backgrounds.

She died in detention.

Context you rarely hear: global stocks are up about 30% over the past year. U.S. stocks? Around 18%. That means American investors underperformed the world by about 12 percentage points, even while headlines called it a “fantastic year.”

Moved my 401k exclusively to foreign markets at the beginning of the year and have been pretty satisfied with that decision.

America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth.

The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.

When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

This is yet more damning evidence. How much does it take ti bring the rich and powerful to justice? We have a 2 tier justice system, that's for sure
This was definitely in the DOJ dump — at least temporarily. We need to REPOST and SHARE the crap out of this and any other reports on it. This is Epstein telling a fellow pedo that Trump was one of them.

TURN UP THE HEAT!

Another question l have for my US representatives. Are you proud to have voted for this?
More people have died in ICE detention in 2025 than any year since 2004.

The government has a legal and moral obligation to provide people in its custody with medical care and livable conditions.
Four ICE detainee deaths in four days spark alarm as arrests grow
At least 30 detainees have died in 2025, prompting concerns about deteriorating conditions at facilities even as the agency has received an infusion of cash from Congress.

Birthright citizenship has been part of our constitution for over 150 years. The Trump administration wants to change that. Here are the facts: bit.ly/44Tm6Mn
Birthright Citizenship Under the U.S. Constitution
The 14th Amendment has long been understood to grant American citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil.

Imagine that, Trump's name was redacted from the files Bondi released.
We suspected that the Trump DOJ would give us a doctored version of the Epstein files to protect Trump

Now we know-that’s EXACTLY what they apparently did

Plus they tried to scapegoat Bill Clinton-who none of us would have defended anyway

Pam Bondi must resign-and should probably be disbarred

The FBI covered up allegations about Epstein in 1996 when Bill Clinton was in his 2nd term. This has always been about the rich and powerful abusing the law and getting away with it.

It's not Republican vs Democrat, it's greedy billionaires vs working Americans.
