I think one of the biggest lies Repubs ever told the American people is that they are "fiscally conservative" & act like they don't wastefully spend taxpayer money. The truth is, they don't like spending money on the American people. They love to spend our money on corporations.

If he "wins", the whole planet is doomed. It's one thing to see entities in the US bow down to that man, but if other countries do, that's a whole different ball game. 😳

The Trump administration is offering $60K in student loan forgiveness as a recruitment tool for ICE, which just proves fighting Biden on student loan relief was never about the loans or “paying your own debt.” It was about who was offering it and who it would’ve helped.

Letitia James and James Comey have the best lawyers on earth and will almost certainly be fine. The fact that there’s a zillion stories about them and virtually none about NSPM-7 - which affects countless ordinary people - really says something about who the media writes for

Premium increases notices will soon arrive in the mailboxes of Americans all over the US.

The average increase? 114%.

For some, the numbers are even higher:

I am not defending that man, but I have 6-month follow-up appointments because of medications I take. It might be something as simple as that, but we can't trust anything he says, so who knows. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Let me get this straight: that man is sending troops to Gaza during a government shutdown so troops will likely not get paid??!!!

You have a way more positive outlook than I do. I have turned into a complete cynic. 😕 I hope you are correct.

Good Trouble @twinkb23.bsky.social · 5h

Call me crazy, but I don't think sending armed troops is the best way to send a message that you supposedly want a ceasefire.

What kind of America do we live in where Halloween trick-or-treaters may be coming home empty-handed thanks to Trump's tariff war?
