Let’s send food safety inspectors to the coal mines’

Hi @cat5teacher.bsky.social, I see we both have the Egyptian pyramid in our image. When did you go? I just went in October and it was amazing.

Hey @thedemcoalition.bsky.social, we should be attacking the GOP for attacking the institution of marriage by making it harder for married women to vote. This will mean fewer women taking their husband's name.

#TrumpTariffs #TrumpMarketCrash

Lincoln: "Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal." If the GOP is the party of Lincoln, they have to accept that all men are created equal, with equal protection.

Am I the only one reading White House tweets in Bane’s voice in my head?

After falling on his face, the Cheato gets up and says, "Uh, I meant to do that." Not the first time, not the last.

It's so hard to write market headlines during the day these days. "The market is up because..." Oh. "The market is down with tech stocks leading..." Oh. I never liked roller coasters.

Oh hellooo

The lefty pundits keep saying there is no plan but then he keeps winning and we are left on our heels saying, "But he's so stupid. He has no plan." If we are so smart, where is our grand master plan? @democrats.org

Elect a clown, get a circus.

It should be Make America 2020 Again with the way he's going.

And that's missing the real evil. The cheato can now grant exemptions for businesses and industries that do his bidding. This is economic dictatorship.

Trump world is opposite, so right is wrong, and liberation day is the day he creates a tool to force businesses to submit to him or be subject to high tariffs. Bend the knee and be granted an exemption. Who needs physical violence when you have economic subjugation?

Donald Trump is a disgrace to this great country. He should resign immediately.

DJT should have announced his tariffs yesterday, April 1st, because only a fool thinks they are a good idea.

There are no tariffs being put on Russia. Hmmm

Tariffs are a consumption tax that hits lower income Americans heavier because they pay a larger part of their income on consumption. That is exactly why wealthy right-wingers want consumption taxes to replace income taxes. They want to freeload on American prosperity without paying for it.

What Booker is doing is symbolic as fuck for Black people and if you don’t get it or say it’s not enough just know that this is why the rest of us aren’t helping yall.

‼️‼️

Come on, @booker.senate.gov, beat the racist record!

DJT's tariffs go into effect after the special elections. That's one of those coincidences that isn't one.

Hey MAGA, Trump is lying to you to make you mad so you don't see him taking money out of your pocket to fill his own bank account. Vote Democrat and we will fix the economy again after he crashes it ... again.

Democrats are fighting for freedom for every person. The other side only wants freedom for themselves. If you want a peaceful and prosperous nation, vote for liberals. If you want constant conflict, hatred, fear, recessions and depressions, then vote for right wingers.

Reminder: DJT says crazy things to keep the media cycle distracted. What else could they be talking about? Hegseth's security breaches? The recession that is just starting? Nationwide protests against Teslurrr?

I hate the stage of a Trump administration where every stupid thought he mumbles is breaking News. And then lefties circulate it like it's going to convince any of his followers to turn against him. He's living in your head. Kick him out.

Elon Musk is the ultimate Welfare Queen. His success is entirely dependent on government handouts.

Hey @democrats.org, "Trump is terrible, give us money" is not a good pitch. Politics is a persuasion business. Create a compelling vision for a liberal future, for goodness sake. Is it really that hard?

Self described 'MAGA Junkie': "I expected more from President Donald Trump". Well, MAGAts you may love him but he doesn't give a damn about you. www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-FE...

The US Constitution grants every person inside our borders with equal protection under the law, including freedom of speech and freedom of association. That includes writing articles supporting Palestinians and yes even Hamas. These people are now political prisoners. www.cnn.com/2025/03/27/u...

Trump: We need a distraction. Quick, announce tariffs on auto parts!

OK, well thank goodness our operational security is good and nobody can see these highly confidential and illegal texts.

Appointees will be exempted, of course.

“We are currently clean on OPSEC” accidentally sent to a journalist is an all time classic.

He never earned political power, he bought that, too.

Elon Musk is 6'2" and he is bowing his head. Trump is 6' at the most.

The real "good old days" were when people were paid union wages, so they had plenty of money to spend, making the economy boom, and everyone paid their share of taxes so we could build big things like the space program and the interstate highway system. Let's go back there!
