Anyone that believes in democracy should not vote for Ciaterelli. At a rally yesterday it was stated that he did not accept money for Jews. He’s another Trump tool who will not defend your rights. You think if Trump asked for gerrymandering, he would defend your vote? Bullshit!

These people resent giving hungry people less than the cost of a big mac a day to help them make it through the month.

I think it should be a rule that congress critters be obliged to live off the money and menus they set for food assistance once a year. For a whole month.

And Trump says this while citizens struggle. I guess in the narcissist’s world, whatever he experiences, everyone in the universe is feeling.

From MSNBC: In his final moments of the mayoral race, Cuomo said: “If Mamdani wins, the city will not survive that as we know it, and it will not recover for a long time.” To my ear, he sounds like Trump, playing on fear.

This will impact job numbers that Trump will lie about. But we will know better.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Never forget that when costs went up, Trump’s number one priority was a ballroom, an ostentatious vanity project.

And so should the other states that DOJ is sending to monitor election cites in Nee Jersey, etc.

Trump reactivates the contract with cellphone spyware Pegasus. ICE is using it to tap into cel phones pf immigrants and American citizens. Biden had banned them, but Trump is giving this lawless company a new contract. What about our freedom, our privacy? It’s not Trump’s concern!

There’s an anti Mamdani ad claiming he didn’t support Kamala Harris. It’s a lie. While he did express support for the "Uncommitted" protest movement during the Democratic primary, he later confirmed that he voted for Harris in the general election on the Working Families Party ballot line.

Is there a more accurate picture of what Trump is doing to democracy than those photos of the destruction of the East Wing of the White House? THIS IS NOT HIS HOUSE!!! This is the people’s house. F— him!

Marty Orzio @martyjo.bsky.social · 12d

I am baffled about how Trump can destroy the East Wing for a ballroom. This is the People’s House. It is not Trump’s vanity project. How does he have the authority to do this? It’s not right.

I don’t know about you but I’m pissed about our money, our taxpayer dollars, being spent on (1) Trump’s ballroom which will be tacky and gaudy, (2) Trump wanting 230 million recompense for lawyer expenses and (3) Trump giving money to Argentina.

Q: A pardoned January 6 rioter was charged with threatening to kill Hakeem Jeffries

MIKE JOHNSON: Terrible. That's the first I've heard of that. I don't know anything about it.

I finally saw Trump’s video as a king dropping elephant sized turds on protestors. The president of our country is crude & disgusting, showing the world he is not suited to any position that calls for dignity. And I don’t care that it was meant for his base. How low he will stoop for power & money!

Marty Orzio @martyjo.bsky.social · 14d

How the hell is Trump allowed to touch the East Wing of the White House. How? Besides, his stupid ballroom will be the tackiest thing on the planet, an embarrassment lacking all class.

Many media sources abroad are calling US republicans America’s Fascist Party. They’re calling it like it is.
