An easy way to explain to anyone (particularly those who vote for Trump) who's confused about who's to blame for SNAP benefits expiring, people furloughed from jobs, programs shut down, is this:
If Donald Trump weren't president, none of this would be happening
If Donald Trump weren't president, none of this would be happening

Not a single American has a better life because an immigrant was deported. none. You get nothing out of that. If anything you’re worse off. You’re *likely* worse off.

A quick aside:
One of the best solutions to (or distractions from) all of the things that suck is live music.
AI? Nope. It's happening live in front of you.
Doomscrolling? Nope. Just watch/listen to the music.
Engineered divisiveness? Nope. We're all there for the same reason.
That's all.

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

Maybe a man who told his depressed wife (who he serially cheated on) to go kill herself (she did) shouldn't be weighing in on how we handle depression.

There is only one way to read Trump’s post today about Epstein - basically a confession.
He’s guilty, he knows he’s guilty, his cult isn’t culting on this, and he’s a cornered rat with no way out other than to plead with people not to care about child sex trafficking.

The most sobering part about becoming 1930’s Germany is realizing that no one is going to come here and liberate those being brutalized. If this historically inhumane regime is going to be overthrown, We The American People are going to have to do it.

Washington, D.C., has a population roughly equivalent to Alaska's.
And it has zero senators. If D.C. had senators, the GOP megablil bill would have failed today.
Instead, Murkowski got carve-outs and money for Alaska, and then voted to subject DC to the bill

Our current President is a traitorous, convicted felon, and a court-adjudicated rapist who lacks the intelligence, character, decency, and cognitive ability to lead. His presence is doing us irreparable harm.
We should not normalize him, but normalize stating the truth about him.

Watching Truth Social posts by Trump every hour, each more insane & unhinged than the previous one as he circles the drain of a malignant narcissist’s descent into dementia, makes it that much more ridiculous that media just spent a month on Biden while pretending Trump is sane.
