Trump has got the US media down. Give them a shiny object to chase, threaten their access and they will basically ignore the truth and journalistic integrity out of fear @nbcwashington.com

So Hispanics and Latinos who voted for Trump are now just discovering that he doesn’t give a damn about them. I could have told them that years ago.

GOP is a criminal enterprise

Many of our past allies need to quickly learn that the U.S. under this current administration can no longer be counted on to come to their aid, and if it does, there will be a huge price attached to it.

As a lifelong Steelers fan, I am now 100 percent convinced that the current Steelers front office and head coach don’t know what the hell they are doing.

30 million of our tax dollars are going to the family of a domestic terrorist because she committed her act in the service of the current occupant of the White House.

So now the Department of Justice is paying off the families of a domestic terrorist who’s intent were to kill members of Congress in order to keep Trump in power.

So what happened to the outrage over Gaza. Palestinians for Trump oh, I mean peace has staged not one. protest of the Trump Administration as 24,000 in Gaza has been killed since March and now Israel is basically seizing it as Israel territory. Gaza is being cleansed.

Trump stood there and told an outright lie about not posting the picture of himself disrespecting the Pope but since the NFL Draft is coming to DC, @nbcwashington.com chose to ignore it.

So DC has a billion dollar budget shortfall but they can still somehow come up with 1 billion dollars to give to a billionaire for a new multi billion dollar stadium while shoving homeless residents into out of sight areas. priorities

I watched a little of Debbie Stabenow’s interview on MSNBC yesterday while making dinner and her comments about Democrats can still find ways to work with Republicans tells me how out of touch she is.

Trump is destroying democracy and the DMV local news media is fawning over Trump announcing the 2027 NFL Draft is coming to D.C. They will normalize us right into a dictatorship. @nbcwashington.com

As our democracy continues to spiral toward collapse, has anyone seen @schumer.senate.gov?

Really tired of hearing that Democrats in Congress don’t have any power. It’s not that they don’t have power, they’re f***ing scared to used what power they have. You never hear this same BS when GOP are in minority. Democrats are still playing by rules that GOP tossed out a long time ago.

I work with a bunch of Trumpers and they relish living in their fantasy world where Trump is a genius and their savior. They have shut their minds to facts and the truth. They only have empathy for those who look like them and believe what they believe.

When you have a press that’s more concerned about profit, access and ratings and have little care for journalistic integrity and truth, you get the current US news media. Watch your local news channel tonight and I can guarantee you will see the same thing I see. @nbcwashington.com

Government officials use apps like Signal when they want to avoid the Federal Records Act and the Freedom of Information Act to hid wrongdoing.

I’ve noticed that the “I’m not voting for Kamala Harris because of Gaza” crowd has gone quiet as Trump has given Netanyahu the green light in his extermination of the Palestinians. Little to no protest, like maybe it wasn’t really about Gaza.

Trump’s new birth plan will quickly get canceled if Minorities birth rates sufficiently increases. Trump wants to increase White Birth rates.

Trump do know that being Pope will cut into his weekly Sunday golfing and fleecing of America.

Two things I don’t want to hear if I bust my ass to help Dems take back Congress in 2026, First is that Dems are willing to work across the aisle with Republicans because this gives up your power and second is that impeachment is off the table. I expect investigations from Day 1.

Didn’t take Amazon long to cave?

When the Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution, they couldn’t have imagined that it would be their descendants ripping it up.

Carney was losing by 20 points and then came Trump. I so glad Canadians had the courage to do what this nation doesn’t. Stand up to fascism and put their nation first.

So let me get this straight. DC has a huge budget shortfall where they are cutting programs, yet they still can find 850 million dollars to help a billionaire fund a new stadium. Priorities I guess.

When you give ICE agents a daily quota for deportations, we all have suddenly become illegal.

If Mason Rudolf or Aaron Rogers are the two QB options for the @pittsburghsteeler.bsky.social this upcoming season, we are in for a long losing season. I have no idea what this organization is thinking.

Trump is so egotistical that he will somehow try to make the Pope’s final farewell all about himself. That man has not one empathetic bone in his body. He, like many of his supporters revel in others suffering and misfortune.

Two White Kids got into a fight in Virginia School and one stabbed the other. I seen how @nbcwashington.com cover fights between Black Kids and it’s very different. For these White kids, there is no constant coverage of the fight, no reporter harassing the family and no biased reporting.

Real leaders want those who don’t agree with them in their circle. They want to understand both sides of an issue before making a decision. Crappy leaders only hire yes men and women.

Now that Winsome-Sears needs Black Virginians votes, she will pretend to give a damn about Black Virginians.

So let me get this straight, the Pittsburgh Steelers passed on Sanders when they basically have no QB and they are courting a has been in Rogers who stunk the Jets up last few years and you wonder why this team hasn’t sniffed a Super Bowl in decades. @pittsburghsteeler.bsky.social

Any other federal employee who established an unauthorized internet connection in their office and then used a banned App to shared classified information who have been marched out of Pentagon in handcuffs and more that likely prosecuted for the unauthorized disclosure of classified information.

I am going to say it, and you can disagree. Many of the current leaders of Democratic Party are more beholden to special interest than they are to those who put them in office. You also have those who believe that the Party can only return to power through White males being in charge.

One of the biggest problems I see with the Democratic Party is that too many Democratic leaders are more concerned about the opinions of those who voted for Trump than the opinions of those who put them in office, ie Chuck Schumer and John Fetterman.

The problem with this country is that one third is fighting to save our democracy, one third is trying to destroy our democracy and one third just don’t give a damn because they have the preconceived notion that the government owes them something.

That 6 million dollars paid to the criminals in El Salvador was US taxpayer money and we as taxpayers should be asking who approved it, because it obviously wasn’t Congress.

A Whistleblower has come forward and stated that DOGE has given Russian access to federal systems and has been sent death threats yet not a peep of it on mainstream media.

Any notice that you haven’t seen ICE grab a White European Immigrant with a green card off the street.
