Making deals with authoritarians goes like this Russia/Israel negotiate on one side, Ukraine/Hamas on the other side. A "deal" is made. Russia/Israel keep killing people in missile attacks. They go back to the table where Ukraine/Hamas make more concessions. Russia/Israel keep killing people.

I'm seeing articles about the trump regime not finding the fraud or swamp they have sold their Cult. Journalists, if you didn't know that "the swamp" was projection, where have you been for the past 30 years? THEY ARE THE SWAMP nominating billionaires and gutting anything good the Government does.

Nothing says MANDATE more than declaring over 500 areas of the United States sanctuary areas. Nothing says MANDATE more than 100% of MAGA Party avoiding their constituents and town halls. Nothing says MANDATE more than the elected MAGA crooks passing bills at 1:00 am on a Sunday No one wants this

Musk coming out against the big stupid bill is simply him trying desperately to separate himself from DOGE to save his company. It was all planned. The attack was on the Fed employees and any good thing our Gov't provides us and direct all money to the rich, defense dept, border and slush funds.

At a ribbon cutting this morning for a domestic violence shelter, I was reminded that at least 3,000 students who attend Cincinnati Public Schools are homeless 3,000! Remember this level of need as we watch the House slash Medicaid, SNAP support, & other programs to pay for tax cuts at the top 1/

trump is manipulating the markets again. This time he didn't tell the world beforehand, but you can bet that MAGA knew he was going to tank the markets. The rich cash out, using our 401k's as a piggy bank. Then next week, trump reverses course and the rich buy at a discount. Over and over.

Mitch McConnell and Lindsay Graham told everyone for decades they are politicians because they want to help the poor and underserved people in the rural communities. They had a chance to stop trump MAGA policies will crush the poor. Not one "journalist" will call them on this.

Cuts to Medicaid are horrible but the real danger for democracy is one provision that enabled the Executive Branch to ignore enforcement of court orders. They will lower the Medicaid amounts to look like they are working for us...then leave the other language in there. Medicaid is a distraction.

It’s not a “big, beautiful bill.” It’s a cruel, irresponsible bill. It hurts low income & working class families, and it dramatically increases the debt & the deficit. And btw, if it’s so big & beautiful, why did they pass it in the middle of the night when everyone is sleeping?

Right now, Republicans in Congress are trying to push through a bill that would put millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care. They want to cut federal funding for Medicaid, take away tax credits that help more people afford coverage, and raise costs for working class families.

Yes it’s late. Republicans don’t want us to watch them destroying healthcare that keeps children and older people alive. As they cut healthcare to fund the BILLIONAIRES’ tax cut. Are you awake yet? www.c-span.org/event/us-hou...

Only one thing is newsworthy. That an anti-constitutional felon named Trump has hijacked America and is not being held accountable for crimes, corruption, and abuse. This evil smears every other news story with blood and death.

OMG. The so-called BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL has a one-sentence dirty little secret in it that every American, regardless of party, needs to know. 🚨 IT'S CRITICAL TO SHARE WIDELY, off Bsky, too!

As a teacher who lives paycheck-to-paycheck and who worries constantly about providing for my family, this is insulting as hell. The GOP doesn’t give a shit about regular folks…as evidenced by $300 million set aside for Trump to golf while they defund Medicaid. #MomSky

GOP plans to cut Trillions of dollars in Medicaid and SNAP benefits to enact tax cuts for the wealthy. Not only will this affect the most vulnerable it will lead to hospitals charging more=higher medical insurance rates, loss of employment, and children going hungry. #ProudBlue#Voices4V apple.news

Good time for the Press to ask trump (the president) when was the last time he had a prostate test. The shameful U.S. Press is gleefully spending time covering Biden's cancer diagnosis as a conspiracy, as Democracy burns.

At some point soon all Democratic Senators need to learn that “nuanced” decisions are not going to work anymore. They are destroying the government and your “compromise” is just a surrender. Some seem to get it but too many are clinging to a fantasy.

The Fed Government is a multi-trillion dollar service organization. It's sole purpose is to collect taxes to provide services for our people. You cannot run the Gov't with a private, for-profit model. The GOP Plan Point at it and say it's broken Only we can fix it Privatize it to profit from it
