Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

With X, MAGA come after us With Bluesky resisters go after each other? Not a winning strategy. How about not joining in on a thread that attacks another Democrat as: A. It's not helpful B. It's not nice. We are better than that.

Dear Donald Trump: 1) "Asylum seekers" are NOT immigrants who escaped insane asylums. They are refugees escaping oppression 2) "Transgenic" does NOT mean "transgender." It means an organism or cell that has been genetically altered Maybe try googling next time k bye, America

Johnson is about to do ANOTHER CR to keep govt open until Sept, since he has been unable to pass his own budget. This was Johnson in NOV 2023: “I’m done with CRs. We are. We’re resolved.” He has repeatedly broken every promise he made in this clip, & is about to do it again.

Donald Trump won less than half of the popular vote—which, given the turnout, amounts to less than one-third of registered voters. His margin of victory was the tightest since 2000, the fourth tightest since 1940. So no, despite everything Trump claims, he does not have a "mandate" for any of this.

CLAIM: Trump says he wants to “Make America Healthy Again." TRUTH: Trump's budget slashes Medicaid, taking away health care from millions. He tried to freeze funding for cancer research. His Health & Human Services Secretary downplayed measles and pushed vaccine conspiracies.

Please stop pretending this man has some grand plan. Lest we forget, he has bankrupt six companies! He’s upset that Europe has usurped him as the ones who will bring peace, and he looks small and impotent. His moves are disastrous for democracy and our country!

We just walked out of the state of the Union. My shirt showed Trump an important message: NO KINGS LIVE HERE. In the spirit of student protestors from the Civil Rights Movement, I’m proud to have protested and walked out with many of my colleagues. This is NOT a normal time.

Trump didn't win 50% of the popular vote. The GOP has slim margins in both the House and Senate. His approval ratings are tanking. He does not have a mandate. Do not let him gaslight you into believing he is all powerful. He's not.

BREAKING - Trump responds to stock market CRASH because of tariffs by announcing even MORE tariffs against India, South Korea, and likely dozens of other countries Russia is using Donald Trump to destroy the American economy -- and the entire global economy

Moving the US economy is like trying to turn a cruise ship. It is difficult for any president to have a dramatic impact on it unilaterally in a short period of time. But it seems the guy who ran casinos, Trump Airlines, and dozens of other businesses into the ground has done it.

With those promises, that he'll break, they just made the job of passing a budget much harder. Also no car is 100% "made in America" that's why tariffs are predicted to add $12,000 to the average price of a new car

Let’s keep this simple: Tariffs = a Trump Tax. Prices are sky high – and what Donald Trump is doing will only make them higher.

To every American tuning in to Trump’s address tonight, do two things before you watch: Check your 401k. Check your last grocery bill, and add 25%. No matter what the President says tonight, that’s the reality of what he’s doing to your family finances.

At tonight’s State of the Union, Trump will have one goal: to distract. His policies are wreaking havoc on the economy and upending American lives, and he will lie, blame, and distract to avoid any bit of responsibility. Don’t fall for it.

A tariff is a TAX. The company pays it — then passes along the cost as a price increase to YOU. So Donald Trump is raising YOUR taxes 25%.
