@alivitali.bsky.social Speaker Mike Johnson said numerous times during your interview that there can be no negotiations on the budget while the government is shut down. YOU DID NOT ONCE PUSH BACK. EVERY GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN HAS BEEN NEGOTIATED DURING THE SHUTDOWN. Stop the lies!

It was more than a hint; it was a declaration of war on the American people.

I just heard a @bbcnews-world-rss.bsky.social interview with a retired General. When asked about Trump's statement that military will be used to fight U.S. citizens, he downplayed the significance. This is horrifying! Where is the alarm? Trump announces he is at war with the country's own citizens!

I was driving a long distance today and listened live to the entire Trump statement. It was torture. I still can't believe this person is the President of the United States.

@amyklobuchar.com @smith.senate.gov Not one more penny to the Democratic Party until you vote @chuckschumer.com out of leadership. He is the wrong person for this time of crisis. Just like Merrick Garland was the wrong AG for the time. SCHUMER MUST GO OUT OF LEADERSHIP!

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

It sure looks like that's why they were chasing him. We are in a very bad place in this country.

It is a crime to conspire to commit bribery. Taking $50k in cash for a promise to provide gov't contracts is a conspiracy to commit bribery. If he did that, he would be guilty of the conspiracy. Conspiracy to commit a crime is a crime. The crime is not negated because he was a private citizen.

Right wingers say that @jimmykimmel.com was insensitive or insulting about Charlie Kirk. I have listened to the full joke many times and Kimmel did not say ANYTHING negative about Kirk. Kimmel played Trump clip talking about new WH ballroom when asked how he was affected by Kirk's death was issue.

The FCC would never be able to meet the standard for revoking a license based on these facts. Of course, there's always the possibility that the Supreme Court would find a way.

She was probably a legacy admitee. No one ever talks about the bias of legacy admissions and how many average folks are denied those spots because someone's daddy gave a lot of money to the school.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

And that's down from 2016. The Minnesota Star Tribune reported this week: "In 2016, China bought more than 40% of its soybeans from U.S. farmers. As of last year, that had dropped to about 20%, customs data shows." The first drop was due to Trump's first tariffs.

Lawssenhop @lawssenhop.bsky.social · 23d

I sure didn't vote for Trump or any of this but many farmers did. Trump's purported reason for tariffs is to bring $$ into the Treasury so he can give tax breaks to the rich. Giving bailouts takes $$ out of the Treasury. I cannot make it make sense because it is completely nonsensical!
