This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.

Officials at the FAA have directed staff to identify tens of millions of dollars to fund a Starlink deal for upgrading air traffic control communications. Staff has been instructed to find the funds while minimizing documentation and avoiding a paper trail.

Donald Trump said he would lower prices on “Day 1.” Well it’s Day 38 and prices are still going up.

These are the things taxpayers could be funding if left to the GOP — lessons on demons and memorization of Christian scripture. Girls would be reminded of their place in society and every other religion would be admonished as near Satanism on your dime. jesspiper.substack.com/p/demonic-yoga

This is the disgusting person Trump wanted released to the United States despite his heinous human trafficking charges. Listen to him describe how he’d grab women by the neck. MAGA can officially shut the fuck up about the Epstein files.

Trump: “I think Russia has been acting very well.” (Russia continues to bomb Ukraine.)

Plant worker says he has “no idea” how they are going to deliver food to severely malnourished children after Trump canceled their funding

Trump asks Starmer if the UK could take on Russia on its own

Consumers who’ve been cheated and need help getting their money back are having their complaints go unanswered. It’s wrong. And it’s happening because Donald Trump and Elon Musk are trying to destroy the CFPB.

“I wouldn’t be opposed to it” — Trump on using Erik Prince’s private forces for deportations

Musk alleges the government is rife with incompetence but his DOGE team appears most incompetent of all. They *created a website that was easily hacked *fired, then attempted to rehire hundreds of employees at least 3 times. *posted claims of $16B in savings, but were off by a factor of 1400

This End DEI site has apparently crashed twice already. Everyone understand the assignment?

Understand this: by trying to gut Medicaid, the House GOP is targeting seniors in nursing homes, kids with disabilities, and low-income workers who can’t get health coverage from their jobs. All so the GOP can slash taxes for millionaires, billionaires, and billionaire corporations.

We are capable of coming together as nations to solve global problems Earth’s ozone layer is on track to completely recover by 2040 Scientists began warning about the use of CFCs, which deplete ozone, in the 1980s The use of CFCs decreased by 99% since 1989 Global warming can also be solved

Missouri Senator advocating the end of Democracy.

You wouldn't dismantle the agency that protects consumers for corporate abuse and scams unless you wanted your rich buddies to be able to abuse and scam consumers.

“For whatever reason, people of color have a higher incidence of maternal mortality."

Listen, they can keep lying about USAID, but gutting the program is hurting the American Ag sector. That is the point though. Destroy American Ag to make way for other authoritarian countries to take over the market.

Americans pay almost 4x as much for medicine as citizens of other developed countries Hospitals and doctors charge more in the US Most developed countries control healthcare costs through government intervention, which eliminates the high administrative costs that drive up pricing in the US

I’m so tired of them. I’m tired of their lies. I’m tired of their disgusting amorality. I’m tired of their faces, their voices, their smirks. I’m tired of their inability to say — let alone do — even one thing remotely kind or humble or appropriate, ever. So tired.

The only way to save yourself is to name the person who is harming you and then join us against him…

this is the sort of thing you post when you’re ramping up to defying lawful court orders

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

If it were legal to fire you, they wouldn't put so much effort into getting you to resign voluntarily.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Missouri voters approved a constitutional amendment legalizing abortion but it is still inaccessible in Missouri. Now Republican lawmakers are set to upend abortion rights altogether with HJR 54. Please sign up to testify against HJR 54 in person or online: secure.everyaction.com/zW_Z_RTOL0Ci...

Do one thing every day. Avoid exhaustion by being intentional. My State Senator, Rusty Black, sent out his newsletter saying he is working to overturn the will of voters on the abortion amendment. I responded to him. It took about two minutes. Work intentionally. Don’t get worn down.

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good. Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.
