We need a new West Wing Series pronto. Just to remind everyone what a functioning presidential administration looks like. @JimmySmitsand @bradleywhitford.bsky.social would love to see how a Santis presidency would look.

Fun fact over 60% if our national power grid is over 50 years old. This means much of it hasn't been updated or modernized since many last stepped foot on the moon. So Congress and power companies have failed to keep up our electric infrastructure for half a century.

I find it funny folks will fight like hell to condemn Iran for denying Israel has a right to exist, yet not have a problem with the ADF denying the right for Gay people and Trans People to exist.

The tax gap of uncollected/ unpaid taxes is over 600 billion dollars. The top 10% income earners are over 85% of it?. The administration will cut IRS staffing leading to less collections. Yet ended student loan repayment freezes to chase 4 million past due borrowers for less than 200 billion.

Vouchers are a scam to use tax dollars to give wealthier children free or greatly reduced private school educations. Don't let Conservatives cripple public education so they can privatize it and turn a profit. www.ncpecoalition.org/voucher-reci....

Fun fact scholars argue that lasagna comes from two words from 2 cultures. The Roman word lasanum, which means a deep pot. Also, the Greek word Lasagnon which means, thin ribbon. Combined, I think it describes that dish perfectly. Though definitely Greek, the Romans improved on it with layers.

Pete Hegseth is the least qualified Secretary of Defense in U.S. History. Using social media to discuss military actions and discriminating against transgender soldiers in a volunteer army are shameful.

49.8% of a 62% participated Presidential Election is not a mandate. A 57% disapproval rate of your policies. A 47% overall approval rate. These mean you catered to your base, calculated for apathy, and will only focus on enriching yourself President Trump.
