Blue Cat Democrat living in NC - a state where democracy has been hijacked by a GOP legislature. A 50-50 state where gerrymandering is rampant and the people have been robbed of legitimate representation.

“Mr. President” is a courtesy, a norm such as, I dunno, the norm of allowing the Kennedy Center to operate as an independent arts organization or the norm of preserving White House’s historical character (rather than bulldozing the East Wing) open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

#TrumpChump - A person of the MAGA persuasion who believed prices would go down and that the GOP actually gave a fuck about anyone who was not a billionaire.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Elise Stefanik once called Donald Trump a "whack job" — then she transformed herself into his most devoted ally. Now she's running for governor of New York, a state where Trump is deeply unpopular. Revisit our 2022 dive into Stefanik's political journey.
The Invention of Elise Stefanik (Published 2022)
To rise through the Trump-era G.O.P., a young congresswoman gave up her friends, her mentors and her ideals. Will it be enough?

I would rather have a President who is an actual "winner" than a sore loser who bankrupted a casino.

@nicollewallace.bsky.social Anyone ask Trump if he will reinstate Secret Service details for people he has denied this protection?

Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds in climate, health care, and education instead of lining the pockets of the military industrial complex?
In the 20 years following 9/11, the U.S. spent over $21 trillion on militarization.

Yesterday, the House passed an NDAA bringing us closer to a $1 trillion Pentagon budget.

For too long, hawks have used the tragedy of 9/11 to supercharge militarism at the cost of our needs and safety.

Enough.

Anyone talking about how Trump has gutted the Secret Service protection of his political rivals in what is an obviously disturbing and tragic environment ?
