I think a lot of people don't realize how much strength it takes to pull yourself out of a dark mental place. If you've done that today, or any day, I'm proud of you and you should be proud of yourself.

As a Veteran, let me remind some of you that the purpose of the United States Constitution is to restrain the power of the federal government, not to restrict the American people. Carry on 🫡🇺🇸

Trump administration: Our solution to reducing crime is to send in the National Guard.
Two National Guard soldiers get shot near the white house.
Trump administration: Oh shit, it's not working, let's send in 500 more troops. 👇🏾

President Trump's ongoing attempts to use the military for law enforcement endangers public safety and our rights.
Tell your Senator to co-sponsor a bill that will limit domestic military deployments and enhance oversight.

Congress: U.S. Troops are Not the President's Personal Police Force
Military troops do not belong on our streets and should never be used to police civilians. The Senate must protect our freedoms and pass the Military in Law Enforcement Accountability Act now.

Sad. These poor soldiers should have been home, with their families on Thanksgiving, not picking up garbage and landscaping in DC. How humiliating. We should hold Trump accountable for this.
Send them all home, NOW!

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.
You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵
DOGE was not a money-saving effort. It was an effort to chase down and prove right-wing conspiracy theories. They went after USAID to prove conspiracy theories about foreign aid. Then they went after SSA to, again, pursue conspiracy theories about Dems paying "illegals" to vote. 1/2

We are already at the point where we have NO discretionary $. The less we can buy, the more contracted the economy becomes. If we can't buy stuff, the companies that MAKE stuff will cut production & JOBS, leaving fewer people who can BUY stuff.
Only a Progressive govt can reverse this trend.

Keep our wages low & expenses high to deplete our savings.
Without savings - which the pandemic already hit hard, we can't afford to strike for better conditions & jobs become more competitive so they can pay lower & lower wages.
They've never heard of "diminishing returns."👇🏻

@darrenpjones.bsky.social Serious question- why is it always the 'ordinary people' that have to pay a little bit more whenever there's a budget? Do you not think we get squeezed enough? Are you ashamed to be associated with a party that has turned its back on their core voters? One term party, mate

The biggest clue will be when he stops playing golf. That's a physical decline but it probably goes hand in hand with his all too obvious mental decline. Trump's on borrowed time.

Clearly they’re not getting MRIs just because, because that’s the moment that we live in. There’s a reason
