We need to stand up for @terrymoranabc.bsky.social

Joe Biden was old and not fully competent and his staff covered it up. Big scandal. Donald Trump was accused by his top donor and former top ‘Special Government Employee’ of being a pedophile. So are his staff covering that up? Isn’t that, y’know, a bigger scandal?

Hope some Supreme Court judges had a sleepless night. Are they going to go down in history as complicit in the most incompetent, corrupt, cruel, contemptible, dysfunctional Presidential regime in history, or will they be the heroes that rein it in? Record not altogether promising so far.

This lasted about as long as a cybertruck And we all know those end up in flames.

Are we clear now a private businessman shouldn’t be in a position to control the space program—that this richest man in the world fueled by drugs, ego & hate shouldn’t be partnering with a malignant sociopath in the WH immunized by the SCOTUS & bent on pocketing billions & flouting the Constitution?

Senator Bernie Sanders: That is the goal—to drive people off of Medicaid so that they can save substantial sums of money, some $700 billion, and then transfer that to the wealthiest people in this country through massive tax breaks for the rich and very large corporations.

The really critical thing to know about the Trump/Musk throw down is that the “Big Beautiful Bill” would explode the debt, exacerbate economic inequality, and cause cruel and grievous harm to the most vulnerable Americans and we really should be talking about that a whole lot more.

The disastrous Citizens United decision put a for-sale sign on our democracy and has permitted $15 BILLION in outside spending since 2010. Our campaign finance system is broken, and if we want to fix it, we need to #EndCitizensUnited.

It wouldn’t be hard to protect Medicaid and funding to rural hospitals and still reduce our nation’s ballooning debt and deficit. The Rs would just have to make the wealthy and corporations pay slightly more in taxes. (PS Rs are never serious about the debt and deficit when they are in power).

The Solicitor General of the Dept. of Labor is responsible for enforcing labor laws. Who is Trump’s pick for the position? The author of Project 2025’s labor chapter — which called for gutting labor laws, limiting OT pay, and weakening unions. The “pro-worker” president...

I feel safer already.

Please listen to the UN General Secretary.

According to AP, the typical pay package for S&P 500 CEOs rose to $17M last year — an increase of 9.7%. At half of the companies surveyed, it would take the median worker 192 years to make what the CEO did in one year.  This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Apparently states’ rights stop the moment women board a plane with autonomy in their carry-on.

What the Right fails to realize is that the majority of people don't want more wealth - they want more stability. They want to know they can feed their families, see a doctor when they get sick, and have access to proper, unbiased, education and news.

I don’t know how many times we have to say this, but the U.S. government is not a business and shouldn’t be run like one. It’s a service—for the people.

Yes

Everybody dies but if you have good health care you get to actually enjoy your life.

The reality that masked men without proper identification are confronting and arresting and taking away people should be intolerable to anyone who calls themselves American.

People with dementia repeating familiar phrases, just saying

Absolutely bonkers.

This people in this Congress apparently do not have spines.
