The Party of Hypocrisy is at it again.

Extending the Trump tax cuts for the next 10 years would add roughly $4 trillion to the deficit. Remember this the next time Republicans try paying for them with cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.  The "party of fiscal responsibility" is full of it.

Congressman Al Green showed Democrats exactly how President Trump should be addressed last night. Democrats ran a campaign saying “democracy is on the line” and now some Democrats are clutching their pearls because Rep. Green didn’t bow to Trump? Which is it?

Please do not allow this critically important story to get lost in the avalanche of Trump's chaotic news cycle. Human lives will be lost due to these fascists!

One thing Trump didn't talk about last night: his plans to abandon American women’s right to abortion care in medical emergencies. I wonder why he wouldn't want anyone to know that.

Socialism is what they called public power.  Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Let’s be clear: our VA system needs to be bolstered, not hollowed out. Our veterans are mostly people from working class backgrounds who are promised that by joining the military, they will have benefits. There is no way cutting 80,000 employees will improve services.

Trump’s tariffs aren’t just crippling our trade relationships, they’re hurting real farmers on the ground in Minnesota. I’ll keep standing up for the farmers who feed, fuel, and grow our country.

It's really something to trot out disabled cancer survivors and young women like the GOP isn't defunding healthcare for the disabled, for children, for cancer research, and taking away the freedom to not die simply because you have a uterus.

In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court weakened the Clean Water Act's limitations on raw sewage discharge into our water. This will hurt the health of Americans, especially working class people from all backgrounds. Americans deserve clean water.

Tariffs on their own do not create more American jobs or lead to more US production. In fact, Trump's last trade war cost roughly 300,000 jobs. All these tariffs will do is give corporations cover to jack up prices and pad their profits at our expense.

Already hearing that Republican members have been showing up to the House floor trying to take up the Dem side seats for the joint address 💀

Outside my window: My nemesis, the invasive #iguana. #Iguanas destroy our gardens, native plants, native species, microclimate ecosystem and spread salmonella. I plant blue pea everywhere so they eat the flowers, not my garden, but they're real fucking dicks. 🌱 #gardening #Florida #garden #pests #FL

#BlueskyMonday image from 2018. Lightening storms had just passed over Christchurch harbour in Dorset. I was waiting in my car for them to stop. Low tide on a blue hour sunset. #photography #storms #EastCoastKin

Golden waves kiss the shore. As twilight whispers evermore. Clouds ablaze in the amber light, Day surrenders to the night. Jagged rocks in waters deep, Silent secrets the oceans keep. A fleeting glow, a final gleam, Day fades into a moonlit dream.

Here's an image for #Stunday. The milky way was photographed on a secluded beach in North Florida while the tide was out, revealing the entire old snag sitting in the surf. It's usually partially under water. #photography #landscapephotography #longexposure #EastCoastKin #milkyway #stars

Good sign that Senate dems are listening to their base that doesn't want them capitulating to anti-trans legislation. Almost like standing for human rights is popular.

Our community needs someone who fight for us. As the next Congresswoman for Florida’s 1st District, I will fight to ensure these critical programs are protected.

This starts GayforCongress 2.0! I am the Democratic nominee who ran against Matt Gaetz, and lost, on Nov. 5th, only for him to resign 9 days later so ethics investigation into sex crimes would go away or perhaps AG! My focus remains the same-The people of FL's 1st. Gayforcongress.com

Was there ever a bigger Trumpian ass-kisser than Marco Rubio? Possibly only J.D. Vance, who is on record saying he might have to "hold his nose and vote for Hlilary."

First, Donald Trump blamed Zelenskyy for Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. Then, he says he “trusts” Putin. Now, he’s frozen bipartisan military aid. It’s clear that Donald Trump is putting his fragile ego before our national security — siding with Putin over U.S. allies in Europe.

Hey @daveminca.bsky.social , @adamschiff.com , @alexpadilla4ca.bsky.social , you guys might want to read this thread and take some notes. You don’t even have to break any laws!

Elon Musk doesn’t care about government efficiency – and here’s the proof.

So let me see if I have this right - hundreds of thousands are getting/have been laid off, the economy is about to nosedive from tariffs, a measles outbreak is currently spreading with bird flu waiting in the wings, and now he wants to blow up the farm industry? And this is going to make us great?

“The people are what matter to government, and a government should aim to give all the people under its jurisdiction the best possible life.” Words from Frances Perkins, FDR's labor secretary and an architect of Social Security. Remember this as the program is under attack.

The state of the union matters but the state of the streets matters more. Americans are struggling in this economy and whichever party is in power seems to always blame the other while claiming to be unable to fix it. Meanwhile, the ruling class gets richer.
