#MidtermConsiderations State Senator Stephen Harding is a snowflake triggered by a sign. Where was this GOP angst when House Speaker Melissa Hortman & her husband were murdered & State Sen John Hoffman & his wife wounded? Crass hypocrisy that can't tell a joke from a tragedy. #Vote w/ your eyes open

Moskowitz: We need $30 billion to extend, obviously, these healthcare subsidies, which allow Americans—Americans, not illegal—Americans, citizens, to afford healthcare.

And the president’s like, “We don’t have $30 billion, but I am going to send $40 billion to my dear friend in Argentina.”

Tom Homan reportedly accepted $50,000 stuffed into a takeout bag from undercover F.B.I. agents. We must continue to ask where the money went, @ruthmarcus.bsky.social writes.

Tom Homan and the Case of the Missing Fifty Thousand

Lawmakers and ordinary citizens have to keep asking about the bag of cash, or accept an executive branch without any accountability.

I am not the only one who thinks #TrumpHasDementia. Is Maga is beginning to disintegrate in the face of Trump's confused impulsivity and nonsensical pronouncements?

I think institutions will react when their pocketbooks are affected.

#Vote W/ your ballot, your wallet & your feet

Make the hard choices that will make them notice
Do not support people, businesses or their sponsors who do not support you
They know the value of your $, U should too
Tell them why

#WeakJournalism leads to fascism & dictatorship

From the start of his original candidacy to today Media has bothsided & sanewashed Trump's statements & actions

How do you expect the average voter to see through the lack of factual accountability caused by editorial malfeasants

a tyrant is ignoring the constitution, firing live artillery at americans, invading our cities, and tearing down the white house to build himself a palace

our institutions won't react because they're lost in a digital dreamstate, unable to decide what is true because of social media poisoning

Frogs in slowly heating water is a popular allegory for being unaware that you are being destroyed in an incrementally worsening situation.

But I'm drawing hope from the past week that we frogs may be a bit more aware of our situation than those allegorical frogs. #Hop
