It was Democrats who passed Medicare, Medicaid and Obamacare. Republicans pushed Medicare Advantage and Part D to ensure that insurance companies could continue to rip off consumers. We don't need insurance companies. We need health care and Democrats deliver.

Either you're against fascism, or you're foolish enough to believe it won't come for you.

Some times in America we have the exact right President in office to lead in crucial moments (i.e. Lincoln). But at other times we have the exact wrong President in office (i.e. Andrew Johnson). Today we have the worst President in our history in office at a most crucial moment.

Without a doubt. I agree with you….

Thank goodness! Although laws don’t mean much to this Pres or Congress.

Don Isaacs @donisaacs.bsky.social · 4d

I believe it would require an act of Congress. Existing law precludes it.

When this is over (and it will be over), we will look back at this era in history and realize we had some of the dumbest people ever running this country for a hot minute....

....and we will suddenly realize how important it is to vote for smart people who have true accomplishments and can listen.

They think this is their country. They think a majority shares their twisted views and wants the same kind of world they want. They are woefully wrong on both counts, and their overconfidence and overstepping will backfire. Keep your heads up.

Minting Trump is tyranny. It nails the republic to a fascist idol. We do not worship crowns in coin; we impeach or remove from office. The Constitution never bent to a tyrant’s ego. This is not patriotism. It is anti-American. It is the death mask of a democracy forgetting its own soul.

Treasury Department considers minting a $1 Trump coin

The draft design of the coin, which was overseen by the Office of the U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach, features Trump’s profile on one side of the coin.
