If you haven’t seen this, you need to! Trump is short-selling America—deliberately tanking the economy so that businesses and entire industries bend the knee and beg him to save them. Thanks, @chrismurphyct.bsky.social, for sounding the alarm. Now, what is Congress going to do about it?

Actual Conservatives: It’s not the government’s responsibility to fix (insert problem). MAGA Conservatives: The primary responsibility of government is to ensure white straight people are protected from having to treat minorities, LGBTQ communities, and women as equals.

Remember: whatever happens from here on out the Dems who vote for this GOP budget are complicit. Because they willingly surrendered the power they had to stop it. The idea that allowing what’s been happening the last two months to continue is a way to avoid “blame” is madness

Wow. Rep. Chuck Edwards is getting torn apart at a town hall in Asheville, NC. “I’m a veteran & you don’t give a fuck about me. You don’t get to do this to us!” Edwards orders veteran to be thrown out. We’re approaching a tipping point now. Anger across the country is going to boil over soon.

What is wrong with giving a new leader a chance? A new approach, a fresh approach. Someone who has integrity, leadership skills, represents a key state, has guts and the confidence of the base. Time to put ego aside and screw seniority. This is my nominee.

Hey MAGA, due to the Trump-Musk freeze on foreign assistance and the demolition of USAID, malnourished children are likely to die. But at least the price of eggs went down, right? Oh, wait a minute—it didn't. Have a good time in church this Sunday. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

Promoting an 0-9 to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs is insane - Trump is going to have to promote him to four star AND waive the legal requirements to even hold the position Dan Caine had a distinguished career, but he’s never been a vice chair, combatant commander or service chief
