No matter where you go, there you are.
The US Congress is Too Big to Succeed. The Senate has well-known faults, such as giving small States too much power. I want to address the House at this time. I think the US House is unnecessary. It should be dissolved. Republicans, MAGA and the right wing in general... https://onebeam.us/?p=543

@neguse.house.gov I see that you and the entire Colorado US House delegation are voting for funding for the State Department. What are you going to do about HR 4213, funding for DHS? What was the lesson from the last gov't shutdown? Democrats lose? Lawsuits, okay. What can *Congress* do?

@colorado.gov Polis, your explanation of clemency for Peters doesn’t even rise to the level of lame excuse. She is not a doddering old person who will sit in a rocking chair on a porch for the rest of her life. She is a radical right wing activist who will give you no quarter.

Someone remake “It’s a Wonderful Life” but Mr. Potter believes that hoarding is morally required so he can devote resources to delivering a far future with trillions of humans while George Bailey is like, “Gosh Darnit! What if taking care of people today is what takes care of people in the future?!”

@colorado.gov Hey Governor, why aren’t you updating your 80,000 Coloradans who are without power? Show us that you’re working on Xcel to get us those clearer communications that you’ve demanded in the only action I’ve heard that you have taken. Xcel erases my reported outage immediately after input.

If only people loved the animals that they eat as much as they love their dogs. (If you're from one of the nine nations that eats dogs, then please ignore this starting point.) I use this as an example of cognitive dissonance. People can hold conflicting ideas in mind... https://onebeam.us/?p=535

@bennet.senate.gov, I can't see the difference between your Medicare-X Choice plan and Medicare Advantage? Who are the providers? Private insurance companies? If so, it is disingenuous to label your plan a "public" "option". Do you consider Medicare Part C to be a public option?

As energy costs skyrocket, the Trump administration’s solution is apparently a useless advisory “National Coal Council” which, incidentally — 9 months later — still has no members! 🤦🏽‍♂️

Alden’s Chocolate Chocolate Chip ice cream. Does that look anything like shown on the packaging? Bait and switch. Ripoff. Shameless. Can’t share this with aldensicecream.com because they aren’t here on Bluesky.

In 2016, data showed lawmakers on key committees were getting sweetheart loans.

Now, lawmakers who ascend to leadership see a 47 point gain in stock returns.

And Trump is using pardons to end corruption prosecutions.

The master plan has created a national emergency.
Endemic Corruption Is A National Emergency
Trump's new pardons and a shocking data point show how big a crisis the master plan has created.

It’s about time! Hurray!!
If your opponents are suddenly saying what you’ve been saying for decades, then you’re winning.

- corporate Dems & Pod Save Obama guys are now touting economic populism

- Trump is praising Mamdani-ism

Johnny-come-latelies may not be principled, but they *are* bending the knee.

This is winning.
