Trump said on Meet The Press that he will focus on "drill baby drill" as a means to get cost of living down. Crude oil is currently trading below $70bl and gas is $2.99/gl. Drilling more oil into global supply would create a glut, driving prices lower. Producers will never allow that to happen.

You may not understand why, but the healthcare insurance and PBM contracts YOU have signed for Tesla, SpaceX , @X, along with CEOs of other big companies , have more impact on healthcare costs and quality of care in this country, than anything you can do with DOGE

Listening to Olbermann's podcast where he cajoles Biden to use SC immunity to save us from what 49% of voters just did. Recall that party leaders forced him out of race, MSM bashed him daily over age and America rejected his replacement over price of eggs. Seems Joe is happy to leave us to it.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

It's probably not a good day to remind people that Trump's son in law walked away from his White House gig with $2 billion from the Saudis. I'll wait until you're finished being mad at Joe pardoning Hunter for being his son.

Any loving father in Joe's position would do the exact same thing. Hunter has been persecuted by GOP, publically humiliated and only charged w/bullshit crimes because his dad was President from opposing party. He paid his debt to IRS and got rid of gun, nobody was harmed by Hunter's addict decisions

Feel guilt, it builds character. Feel weakness, it builds strength. Feel fear, it builds courage. However, if you allow yourself to only feel without building or perseverance to build further, you'll fester in the rot of apathy or compliance. The world may fail but you shouldn't fail yourself.

Whats happening in the nation of Georgia is a precursor of whats coming here. We will NEVER submit to fascism or autocratic oligarchy.

Political appointments and federal judges require simple majority in the Senate to confirm. The next Senate will have a 53 seat Republican majority so could lose 3 votes and still get confirmed. Many are looking to Murkowski, Collins and Tillis to "to buck Trump", but they won't be being courageous

Its not like you don't have choices of where to shop. If CVS treats its customers all like common criminals, give your money to a store who values and appreciates your patronage instead.

GOV'T IS NOT A BUSINESS as it makes no product or value added service nor makes a profit. Its a "pass through" which takes in taxes and fees then redistribute based on constitutional mandates and nations priorities. Its not designed to be efficient as duplications, redundant built throughout. 1/2

America! Exact same thing happened here in our election but MSM is to busy blaming Democrats. They were either complicit or willing useful idiots in spreading and amplifying Putins hybrid war against us. Trumps win is illegitimate and next 4yrs will be spent with Putin as his co-President.

My friends who are pinning their hopes on Republicans in congress to "stand up to Trump" or put country over party haven't been paying attention for last 8yrs. After J6, Senate failure to convict, GOP nomination and America re-electing a felon, to see a reality other than one were in is delusional.

Alexander Vindman is a patriot. Elon Musk, himself an oligarch, is drunk on power and out of control.

Pay attention to whats happening right now in the country of Georgia. Huge public uprising against Putin installed illegitimate government and actions their taking to strip rights and protections. We can take lessons from them for when it happens here.

INTENTIONAL INFLICTION OF EMOTIONAL DISTRESS Is a civil law (tort)victims who are singled out by high profile people, can use to sue for damages. Musk, who posted about two federal employees with intent for MAGA terrorists to threaten and harass to force out of job, would be liable. *not lawyer"

When you feel like your actions can't change the current chaos, remember the butterfly effect. The butterfly effect suggests small actions, like a butterfly's flap, can trigger significant changes over time. It reminds us that even minor gestures can ripple outward, sparking meaningful change.

The Tariff Act of 1930 was designed for protectionist trade. It imposed high tariffs on over 20,000 imported goods which led to retaliatory tariffs from other countries. Why am I telling you this? In case you're ever asked "what were the key contributors to the Great Depression?" The mo' you know

If you needed even MORE of a reason to switch to Bluesky, China is "troubled" by the fact that they've invested so much time on Twitter buying ads, bots, and influencers... only to see the people they're seeking to manipulate (us) flee the site. www.semafor.com/article/11/2...

CORPORATE GREED/PRICE GOUGING: Just saw that airline ticket prices are up 90% over this time last year. (I didn't believe it either) Inflation has been 2.5% range, fuel prices steady and def not 90% increase in their labor costs. What in actual hell justifies this but consolidation and greed?

Since not a day goes by without someone saying I’m “just another big account that doesn’t say what to do.” I’ll once again say what I think you can do. 1) 30 states have local/state elections starting in Feb. Get involved/run. 2) Join a special issue group like civil rights, abortion or immigrant
