An addled president is shredding the Constitution to usher in white nationalism and fascism while destroying the economy and our health care, so if you’re going to write an alarmist op-ed because a mayoral candidate might open five (5) city-run grocery stores, you can kindly get bent.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Just to be crystal clear: bombing Iran is completely illegal.

Assasinations of state senators is NOT common. Maybe if our intelligence agencies and military were doing their jobs, tracking threats online for example, this may have been avoided. Instead, they’re tracking Jose’s bodega and Jesus’s fruit stand #FAIL www.bbc.com/news/article...

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

Pope Leo XIV will be celebrating a mass in Chicago on the same day as Trump’s multi-million tax paid birthday military parade. Chicago is expecting at least 1 million people to show up for the event. If you can make it to the Pope’s mass then do it, make it the biggest event of the day.

The more you know..... Keep calling your Senators. Make sure this Bill does not get passed. We will no longer be a democracy if this passes.

FIVE HUNDRED BILLION DOLLAR CUT IN MEDICARE. FIVE HUNDRED BILLION. They want to cull the herd. So that assholes like the TECH BROS can get a permanent tax cut. I’m guessing there are ZERO MAGATS relying on Medicare? HOW YOU LIKE HIM NOW? #ToldYaSo

GOP. Here is what you do. Pass a bill that taxes the rich, preserves Medicare and Medicaid, remove the recent tariffs and stop weaponizing the government. Everyone will love you for it. .

Boyle: "This is really the breaking news ... because of the size of the deficits, because of the paygo act, that would trigger sequestration of Medicare, and it would total over $500 billion. The official figure that CBO confirms is $535 billion in cuts to Medicare."

TEXAS — Rep. @jamestalarico.bsky.social: “I can’t think of anything more un-Christian than stealing from the poor to give to the rich.” The Republican agenda is not new. #RepublicanBudget #VoucherScam
