Listen to America’s dad!

@repjasmine.bsky.social You are a rockstar! I support you. Keep fighting. youtu.be/7kqR6GckEYc?...

Big turnout for other "empty chair" town hall, this time for the two AWOL Ohio senators in Columbus www.facebook.com/christinapao...

Something to call your representative about: Halting support for food banks hurts Americans trying to put food on the table and the farmers who produce it. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

I don't blame them. But it's mindblowing that in 8 weeks we've managed to prompt Canada to pursue defense deals that exclude the US.

The news media are focusing on how Trump is abusing federal workers and depriving the American people of vital services as he vandalizes government agencies. But the media need to say more often that these actions are ILLEGAL.

Unsuspecting victims worldwide lose tens of billions of dollars each year to financial scams. Documents and insiders reveal how one of the world’s major money laundering networks operates.

🚨 🚨 More details are coming out that many of those whisked away to El Salvador did not have criminal records, and do not appear to have been part of a gang of any sort: 1/

This is the swamp.

Nothing to see here—just a sitting U.S. president pumping his shitcoin, after countless Americans have already lost billions investing in it. The most corrupt president in history, by far

The number of Tesla owners trading in their cars has just surged to an all-time record high as the company’s stock continues to plunge.

The law firm, founded and chaired by Democratic election lawyer Marc Elias, said in a statement Saturday that there would be "no negotiation" with the White House about the clients it represents or the lawsuits it brings on their behalf. www.aol.com/no-negotiati...

Elon Musk might be cutting government spending, but not on his own projects — billions in extra federal money is likely headed toward SpaceX, thanks to policy changes that will make the world’s richest man even richer. A NYT investigation examines the Trump-era shift toward SpaceX nyti.ms/4kPE8VJ

If this isn’t the biggest fucking bunch of bullshit. This mother fucker isn’t even TRYING to hide the fact he is going to buy this election. Fuck him. Fuck Anal Musky. I may spend the week before the election knocking on doors in Wisconsin now!

So… the very same Republicans who said they were cutting SNAP because hunger could be “addressed by food banks”, just cut $500 MILLION in funding for… You guessed it. Food banks.

Donald Trump said, “I love the poorly educated.” Why? Why doesn’t he want people to know things, to think critically, to understand our society, history, science, and the world? It’s obvious: because knowledge is power. And he wants to hoard it all for himself and his fellow oligarchs.

So look at that. DOGE has cost the US Treasury fucking half a trillion dollars. HALF A TRILLION DOLLARS. This is your cost savings.

It is impossible to capture how catastrophic Trump’s recent moves and statements are for US defense contractors—this will have a huge trickle-down industrial effect given supply chains and subcontractors.

I haven't ever really spoken about this to anyone, but when I was litigating the so-called "comfort women" case, I went to the National Archives to obtain and read the testimonies of women and girls who were held in sex slave camps by the Japanese military following their release. 1/

TIME MAG has a piece by a reporter embedded at the El Salvadoran prison who watched as Andry, a gay asylum-seeking Venezuelan barber they said is a gang member but is not, was slapped and screamed for his mother as they held him down. Horrific. time.com/7269604/el-s...

AG Lawsuits Against Trump - 1) Birthright citizenship 2) Fed. funding freeze 3) DOGE Treasury access 4) Mass firing fed employees 5) Dismantling Dept of Ed 6) Dismantling CFPB (amicus) 7) Firing Gwynne Wilcox (two amici) 8) Gender-affirming care 9) NIH cuts 10) DOGE 2.0 11) EPA canceling IRA funds

I am not totally opposed to a 3rd party in the future. Right now I think it's a horrible idea. We have a wolf at the door. We need one big gun to fight it off. A 3rd party would be turning the one big gun we have into two pea shooters.

A "former" major Democratic law firm. Lawyers at Paul Weiss now have a choice. Stay and understand you are now aligned with Trump or leave with your dignity.

Have we lost Southwest?

Here’s a way to NOT run the government: reward people who don’t pay their taxes by reducing services for those who do. New Trump slogan: “Make America Cheat Again.” Tax revenue could drop by 10 percent amid turmoil at IRS www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

This is the most dangerous and stupid moves of them all to date.

Public transit is about connecting people to their work, school, health care and more – it’s about economic opportunity.   I was so excited to celebrate the Gold Line’s first day of service, thanks to the partnership of local, state and federal officials.

Trump has already been enjoined by courts in his second term more than Biden was in his entire term. It’s not the courts. It’s the illegality.

Welp, there goes the US defense industry.

People really DO NOT know. So many people thanked me for the handouts I shared today. Even less people know about the post office stuff.
