Loyal Wisconsinite, never on Twitter, hoping for thoughtful conversation.
This article from a month ago perfectly nails the divide between dems & the drumpf suckups. They had no trouble coming up with a totally unwarranted tax giveaway to the rich, but healthcare for the poor? Sorry, it costs too much, & we can’t be bothered to fix it.

‘We Are Looking at a Massive Crisis’
Health-care costs are about to spike in a way that Americans can’t afford.

Earlier tonight: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's bill effectively banning gender-affirming health care for youth passed in the House. This is a serious attack on parents' ability to make *private* medical decisions for their families. www.advocate.com/politics/mtg...
Marjorie Taylor Greene’s bill criminalizing gender-affirming care for minors passes with Democrats’ support
The outgoing Georgia congresswoman was able to successfully make transgender young people a target as one of her last acts in Congress.

THIS. 👇 It’s so simple…
Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare.
Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.
Getting big money out of politics.
Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages.
If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

Drumpf has increased the US debt by something like $2.4 trillion in less than a year - with tons of additional red ink to come - and he’s blathering on about a few hundred billion that MIGHT have been ‘saved’? If he’s an example of our best & brightest, we’re in deep doo-doo…
Captain Charisma Elon Musk tells Katie Miller he wouldn’t do DOGE again if he could do it all over, claims they stopped “$100-$200 Billion” (wide range!) of “zombie payments” just by requiring a “payment code” and “explanation”🧐

Cognitively well people do not go nuts to tell people they are cognitively well.
Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

This clearly needs to be illegal. If this is what AI is going to be used for, I’m totally out on it. There’s clearly no substitute for going to the brick & mortar location, but some people simply can’t, and it’s not fair to take advantage of their situation to rip them off.

Jessica T nailed it. Drumpf won’t take responsibility for anything and really believes he can just keep blaming Biden. Folks will only buy that line of BS for a short while, especially when they can see the flames coming from the economy as drumpf has failed to even understand he’s the arsonist…
🔥 @jessicatarlov.bsky.social : “He’ll try to blame Biden, but the argument it’s all the fault of the guy out for a year is not resonating. Trump is setting our economy on fire - and not in a good way. In the dumpster fire way. The A+++ grade is obviously ridiculous. It’s a man-made crisis.”

The Democrat in Miami just defeated the Republican ICE cheerleader for mayor. Turns out even in Florida, people are tired of cruelty masquerading as leadership. Republicans had held this seat for the last three decades. Let that…sink in.

If only drumpf could remember things from one day to the next, the list might not be so long…. or so out of touch with how much the tariffs are actually bringing in. But sadly….

How to buy yourself a needy malignant narcissist? Just offer him a phony, made up "Peace Prize" & he's all your's!!!
No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. 🤡 🫣

Racism in action…
"The Donald Trump administration has changed which holidays qualify for free entrance to national parks, removing two holidays celebrating Black people and adding the president’s birthday."
National parks change prioritizes Trump birthday over days honoring Black people
Free entrance days at national parks no longer include MLK Day and Juneteenth.

Apparently every Chinese academic in any field of “interest” to the PLA is getting their visa rejected for, more or less, presumptively being a spy. My friend’s visa is denied because she studies “neuroscience.” What she actually studies is jaw pain - but ICE is flatly rejecting all appeals.
Just got the word that the Trump administration is throwing a brilliant medical researcher friend of mine out of the country because they’re Chinese. Insane and unreal. Literally doing research in the US to help the US
