Putin is a war criminal.

Trump falsely blaims Ukraine for starting war. He’s legitimizing Putin. Cutting out Ukraine from the talks that will decide its future.

Losing my job in November meant we had to go on my wife’s Texas teacher insurance (TRS). It costs us $1,500 a month for our family and has a huge deductible before it pays for ANYTHING (Rx included). Went to urgent care today for a respiratory infection and was quoted $190. I left.

Trump should title his next book, The Art of the Felony.

Trump’s response to the fires in LA is a disgrace. He’s fixated on blaming Newsom instead of offering condolences to those suffering.

LETS DO THIS: Close your Threads, Instagram and Facebook accounts … at high noon on 20 Jan 2025 right after you do it to X.
The #GreatTwitterWalkoff can also be the #GreatMetaWalkoff.

Let’s do it simultaneously and show our power.

MJT introduced legislation to officially change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, including funding for changing of maps for all agencies within the federal government. Seems like a target for DOGE.

WTF?
Junior has arrived in Greenland with Charlie Kirk and incoming Trump Admin WH Dir of Personnel Sergio Gor.

Do yourself a favor… listen to the Vince Guaraldi Trio. So much more than just Charlie Brown music.

A neighbor helped me make this ornament for my mother when I was 7 years old from an egg. It’s 54 years old and one of my most treasured possessions.

Teachers can only deduct $250 in school supplies on their taxes, but:
•Bezos can write off his super yacht
•Musk can write off his jet
•Waltons can write off their mansions
Why? B/c millionaires write tax law for billionaires.
We need a Congress for working people—not the 1%

Trump’s DOGE commission plans to slash government. Wait until tens of thousands of government employees are on unemployment. Wait until hundreds of US companies file for bankruptcy when they lose government contracts.

Trumps wants 25% tariffs on all goods from Canada and Mexico. US consumers will pay that 25%. Plus, Canada and Mexico are likely to retaliate, driving down US exports. Higher prices and fewer jobs.
