Pritzker is right. They want to normalize troops in cities so they can steal every election just like Putin does.

Yes I want the ACA subsidies to be extended, something is better then nothing, I guess.
Sure I’ll be insured… but I still wont be able to afford actually going to the Dr.

So the American taxpayer eats it twice, once on tariffs and again on a second farm bailout. I’m glad farmers are getting help, no one should lose their farm, but it’s remarkable how fast “socialism” stops being a dirty word when the checks clear in red counties.

Billionaire grifters are about to dismantle your government. So instead of your tax dollars going to your Medicare or your Medicaid or your affordable care act or to veterans benefits or your social security - it will go to THEM in the form of tax cuts for the wealthy.

Buried in the polls, with every American screaming for the Epstein files, the walls are closing in on Tangerine Palpatine.

Sending troops to every city you can in a desperate attempt to make martial law happen is not strength. It’s the last gasp of a dying regime.

With new laws & new obstacles -like round abouts. It’s reasonable to go through it every 5yrs.

On a tangent, we should have to take a brush up class every 10yrs at least, cars, trucks & rvs should all have their own training and tests.

I did a quick shuffle through the comments, we talk about the danger of riding them. The biggest danger is other drivers. This says to me, that most ppl should be better trained before they drive death machines, cars not motorcycles.

If we were ever to do a black out day, it should be Black Friday.
Not only would the lack of spending make the maximum impact, there would be a visual impact.

The Democratic Party needs to get younger, feistier, smarter at messaging and more in touch with the electorate, both at the state and federal levels.

Democratic voters need to get more discerning about who they choose to fight against the rising tide of oligarchic fascism.

I can’t get over this. Trump bailed out Argentina farmers with $20 billion of our tax dollars, then China turned around and bought soybeans from them instead of US farmers.

Not AMERICA FIRST, America got played.

There’s room for error in the numbers but it’s mostly sound - I’ve been haggling between drs appts & doing my kids school all day. I don’t have the bandwidth rn to deep dive into exacts 🫣

Last year I was comfortably middle class, next year I’ll be claiming bankruptcy.

For context the poorest 70mil. Is roughly 20% of the population & makes between 0-33k.

Est. 101mil ppl make between 33k-100k, this group has an estimated spending power of around 4-5trillion - these are the ppl showing signs of distress. no amount of AI investing will paint over this for long.

Sanders: I am not a great fan of the affordable care act. I believe in medicare for all. I think that health care is a human right, but I will be damned if I'm going to see people in Vermont and around this country see a doubling in their premiums.
