🧓 Ciattarelli’s budget cuts would hit seniors, schools, and health care. But billionaires? They get a pass. That’s not fiscal responsibility—it’s cruelty

Two workers are hard at work loading full boxes of grapes to be taken to cold storage in Mettler, CA. It was already 90° at 1 pm which made this physically demanding job even harder. To load the truck they had to be in the direct sunlight lifting heavy 20+ lb boxes. #WeFeedYou

The felon also handed Argentina a soybean customer - China, which takes away from US farmers. This is because of #TrumpsTariffs

He's sticking it to our farmers and giving Argentina a further boost.

No money for healthcare, feeding children in school, or keeping federal agencies open, but plenty to keep a far right Trump wannabe leader in power.

A political cartoon. On the left is a donkey holding a sign that says "Let's do something and help each other." On the right is an elephant and his sign says, "Let's blame someone and punish them."

The cartoonist is P. Byrnes.

Senator Ed Markey @markey.senate.gov · 17h

In the middle of a government shutdown—while millions of Americans face down dramatic increases in their health care premiums—the Senate just voted to send another $900 BILLION to our already bloated pentagon budget. Disgusting.

So the argument for sending US troops into cities to be used against Americans is that Antifa has apparently taken over our cities and the troops have to battle them.

He's probably referring to the ice bldg. We drove by it last week and windows were boarded up. Last time we were there (May) not boarded but had some graffiti which has been painted over since then. The other parts, 'don't even have stores' etc....BS and lies as usual. PO💩!

Around the same for Idaho too. Idaho ranked 26 in 2022-2023. And ranked last in 2022 for per-pupil spending (again). But per Heritage foundation it ranks #3 for education freedom. yay?

NEA: Idaho ranks last in per-pupil spending, again

But the 2020-21 report doesn’t include the 2022 legislative action when an 11% increase was approved for K-12 education.

22. IOW, Miller is lying to get you (and “low-info voters”) to give up. Surrender is strategically important. Without it, Miller and the rest of the regime got nothing. They lie in the belief that you will believe them, and in doing so, defeat yourself.

But they can’t conquer you if you don’t.

Why October or November?? The felon has been touting some new healthcare system for years. Did congress' bill address it in their big ugly bill?? No. They made it worse. Shoulda. Woulda. Coulda. And now it's too late and they're trying to shift blame. #GOPShutdown #TrumpsShutdown #GOPLies

Trump says it would be “an insult to our country” if he doesn’t get the Nobel Peace Prize! There he goes again, trying to strong arm. Need we say? It would be an insult to the WORLD if he got a prize for ‘peace’ (of all things) as he is at war with his own people! share.google/ZF6CEwqxyhk9...
