Meanwhile, the Trump regime refuses to publish the non-partisan gov’t economic reports. Why? Because they know they are royally fucking up and have zero accountability or sense of responsibility.

2024 — 5 percent growth following best jobs gains in 50 years from Biden and the Dems.

2025 — GOP brings months of jobs losses, rising foreclosures, mass layoffs, worst grocery inflation in 3 years, electricity prices up 10%, US growth lags behind world, will be lucky to hit 2 percent.

So let’s be clear, if you have a net worth of 100K, it’s not because you work 10,000+ times less than a billionaire. The amount of money you have in America does not equate to how much you work in America. Often those who work the least, gaining profit off others hard work, have the most money.

Needing multiple streams of income to stay afloat is a societal failure not a personal one. You should be able to afford a comfortable lifestyle with one job. You are not lazy.

GOP Sen Banks celebrating the shut-down his party authored in attempting to shut down rural hospitals.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 14h

Sen. Jim Banks: "I hear from hoosiers every day who understand that the government in Washington is way too big, and they think about all the wasteful bureaucracy and bureaucrats in Washington DC, so in that case a government shutdown means less government and in many ways we're okay with that."

The Big Bad Bill is shutting down our rural hospitals. The GOP has no answer for this except to spew garbage lies and distractions.

Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"

ICE murdered an innocent lady driving a vehicle. They them made up some bullshit to justify this atrocity and posted it to national media before the facts could surface. This is what happens in a police state. Brutal, lawless oppression fueled by lies and defamation of the victims.

A woman who was shot multiple times by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents did not ram them with her car and had her weapon stored in her purse at the time of the incident, according to her lawyer, contradicting accounts by the Department of Homeland Security.

Trump is waging war against US cities while provoking war abroad. All through criminal abuse of power with no check provided by an equally lawless GOP Congress and SCOTUS.

Schiff: "If a president in secret can put names on a list and kill them, then there is no war power still retained by Congress, and there's no check on an executive who may drag us into another war."

The notion of 19th Century style profits that rules US medical industry should give way to the good order of enlightened states in universal care. Only billionaires benefit from a state of rationed care that the GOP attempts to force upon The People. It destroys health and shortens lives.

Texas Paul @realtexaspaul.com · 1d

I don't understand why I see things so differently. I see a health insurance industry that thinks it's entitled to charge people 1/3rd of their income for healthcare. That industry shouldn't be "fixed." It should be burned to the ground and its ashes pissed on.

Deport the felons.

I’d like to see a protest to get Trump on a plane out of the US. Let’s similarly deport all the traitors in his regime or those ‘elected’ by voter suppression and oligarch blood money in Congress.

Biden and Harris were excellent US leaders who achieved great things. Those who dragged Biden for not playing well on TV and media were shallow fools. Those who called Harris stupid only showed their irrational bigotry.
