The Republicans who are holding town halls are holding them to tell you what to think. They, obviously, don't want to know what their constituents thinks. They'll have security remove you if you try to make a point they don't like.

We don't 'need' digital currency. We have have currency that can be used digitally. I think that digital currency has a place. The technology behind it is great. But the crypto market that has been created is a farce. Its a system built entirely so that those who have excess, gain in excess.

Besides the fact that trumps 'defense' budget is likely to be used to send masked armed men to abduct and disappear US citizens to el salvador. Then use the rest of it to pay his buddies.

The Constitution forbids bribery 3 separate times. So important to the Founders they included two emoluments clauses, and made it the only named impeachable offense besides treason. The Constitution is clear on banning bribery. It's just that Congress and the courts decided to pretend otherwise.

Why can't we just be Americans? Why segregate ourselves into parties? We don't need to. We do not have a two party or any other number party system. We have a state system. 50 states, all citizens.

This is un-American. It is horrific. It is illegal and unconstitutional. In what way is the republican party a legitimate USA political party? Its not. Sychophantic autocrates.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Trump shrugs off fears of shortages due to his China tariffs, saying, “Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls.” “Oh, the Golden Toilet Guy is now preaching minimalism?” says @chrislhayes.bsky.social.

The supreme court ruling against the constitution is the clearest sign yet that the republican party including the 'conservative' justices are authoritarian fascists that dont care about our foundimg principles unless they benefit the party.

Hes actually not wrong. Anyone who voted for him got everything he said he was going to do during the campaign. Promises made, promises kept. Trump said he would be a tyrant He said he would destroy gov agencies He said he would use tariffs to destroy the global economy He said lots of bad stuff

Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal. Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration. See how this works?

We need to stop refering to the republican maga party as the GOP. The republican party has not had any similarities to the Grand Ole Party for decades. In fact I believe Nixon began that change.
