So glad that Wisconsin rejected Musk, Trump and $18MM from mega GOP donors by electing Liberal justice Susan Crawford.

Trump2.0 continues the chaos and incompetence of 1.0; just on steroids. Doin' the Donnie 2 Step on Tariffs. One step forward two steps back! How about using "Signal" to discuss war plans! How about deporting Green Card holders without cause? The typed character limits force me to stop listing

How can the Dems win back the middle class that they seem unable to connect with. Reverse the funding of Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid. Don't tax the first $40K and then tax the remainder until infinity. There's more of us, vote your self-interest as if you're a billionaire.

I think it's clear that Dems need new Senate leadership. "Sell out" Schumer needs to take a seat on a rocking chair.

Yet another Trump lie. Trump triumphant new USMCA agreement included no tariffs on dairy up to certain quantities. US exports haven't come close. If they did, a big tariff would be imposed. Trump always lies.

Latest idea from Trump. Offer fast track citizenship to white Afrikaner farmers of South Africa if they come to the US. Simultaneously, cutting all aid as a sign of his disgust of injustices against these white folk. The Afrikaners said 'no thanks'. Come to S.A. www.yahoo.com/news/trump-s...

Exemption Donnie. So tariffs have bad consequences- duh! The auto industry or farmers, gored by the orange-bull-in-the-china-shop, plead for exemptions. Mexico is finding alternative markets for its 400K brls/day exports to US. Gas goes up. Winning - Donnie-style

In 2022, the oil industry received $757B in subsidies from the US taxpayer. Really? How about Pres Musk check out the validity of that expense!

If 90% of the tax cut isn't meant for the bottom 90% of taxpayers, than you have yet another reason to see that you've been conned (again!)

The latest dance craze! Doin' the Donny Shuffle! 1 step forward, 2 steps back. The idiotic der leader said "Tariffs!" Then, "nah". "co-prez Musk, reduce the govt to rubble". Then, "nah". "Let's evac Gazans. Build a resort!" Opec: No! T's staff: "we'll review". Played to the "Curly Shuffle"

After the budget extension ends in March, you have the spineless GOP negotiating with a LIAR that has a huge reputation of shafting workers. Another that is soooo WEIRD. Musk believes, rightly, that he bought and paid for a co-presidency, and will do whatever he pleases. Stand up Fed workers.

Prez Musk and his billionaire buds bought and paid for this presidency. Puppet Trump is simply a well paid carnival barker. He was useful to the Fascists. he crippled the Judiciary with young alt-right judges who will do their bidding for decades. the GOP is dead. The people need to rise up .

Where is the GOP Senate and House? Not defending the Triad of our Constitution, that's for sure. They're fighting over who gets to kiss Musk/Trumps' asses or spit polish their shoes.

I wish the media would ask Trump why he is so fascinated with GOP Prez Hoover. He enacted the Smoot-Hawley Act which placed blanket tariffs on imports. those countries retaliated. Result? What started as a Wall St initiated Depression accelerated the decline into the GREAT DEPRESSION.

Besides whining on social media about yet another Trump outrageous act, statement, grift, etc. etc., what constructive action can a common citizen do to blunt this old, demented, racist, lyin' felon?
