🚨STOP SCROLLING!🚨 Hey Bluesky peeps! I wanna ask you all to do me a favor and follow this personal friend of mine, Trevor Reed. Putin wrongfully detained him for YEARS, Biden secured his released, & then he had the resolve to join the Ukrainian forces🇺🇦 Oh, and bonus fun fact: He hates Ted Cruz🤣

@ronfilipkowski.bsky.socialDismantling of the Department of Education. Why? Because they know if they keep the public misinformed and uneducated, they can sell more lies and keep the poor exactly where they are.

🤣 🤣 🤣

Um ... who would those specialty courts be for? This is what fascism looks like ... or oligarchy ... maybe both. Fascism of the oligarchy?

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court BLOCKS Trump executive order seeking to impose proof of citizenship requirement for voter registration. Big victory for our clients DNC, DSCC, DCCC, DGA, Sen. Schumer and Cong. Jeffries. www.democracydocket.com/cases/washin...

💯 THIS

Weak. Feckless. Ineffectual. Trying to stop a war via social media because he's too scared to talk to his buddy who started the whole damn thing.

WATCH this! And then tell the Republicans in Congress that when they're burning down this house, there's people still inside. #MedicaidCutsKillUS 💔

Same.

Eggs in my area have been hovering between $6 and $7 for months. In normal non-bird flu, non-nut job in the WH times eggs are around $1.50 here. So no, egg prices have not dropped by any significant margin by any stretch of the imagination.

Hmmm ... maybe Congressional Boomers are starting to get the message that the majority of voters want new faces and fresh ideas. Thank you Sen. Durbin for all you did and thank you for putting country over party this time around.

Trump's erratic market manipulation is fertile ground for insider trading and he must be impeached for abuse of power. His job is to make life better for all Americans, not just the rich one.

😡🤬

Ever notice when Pam Bondi is speaking directly to Trump she refers to him as president? Not Mr. President or President Trump. She just says President -- example: "You can rest assured President that the DOJ will follow you lead". What's up with that? It sounds dumb.

This is just gross. Conspiracy theory podcasters given preference in the WH Briefing Room over news orgs like AP. I can't even find words to express how disgusting this is.

This is disgusting. Trump is disgusting. What purpose does this serve other than abject cruelty. abcnews.go.com/US/trump-adm...

I'm no stock market guru by any stretch of the imagination ... but this doesn't seem sustainable ...

Agree!

The most ridiculous thing I've ever heard any news achor ask was just uttered on CBS. "How is President Trump honoring the life of the Pope?" Seriously? Trump honors nobody except Putin. Trump is probably pissed the news isn't talking about him today. 🙄

If there truly was a merciful God, wouldn't he have given that stroke to Trump or Putin (or any other dictatorial "leader" bent on hurting the masses) instead? I suppose that's why I'm an atheist ... the illogic of it all ... 🤷‍♀️

Great point 👇 Tell Congress to urge Trump to bring Kilmar Abrego García back to his family here: bit.ly/4lzuIxV #ResistTrump

ICYMI: @harvard.edu today filed a 51-page lawsuit against the Trump Administration, Pam Bondi, RFK Jr., and several other defendants for their unconstitutional and unlawful federal funding freeze. www.harvard.edu/president/ne...

Gayle is delusional! #DeLuLu

“Eliminating the Medicaid expansion would likely precipitate the biggest one-time increase in the number of people uninsured ever,” said @larrylevitt.bsky.social. The Dean of Health Care Reporters @citizencohn.bsky.social gives you the state of play and the headline that tells the whole truth.

This is who you should be running, this is the kind of representation you need. The want you to “Stay poor, stay hidden and die silently” "I am a human being" #3E

Meiselas: A 20-year-old American citizen was being held by ICE. Protests happened all day, and as public pressure mounted… This guy is an American citizen. But the public pressure was so intense that the Trump regime folded. He was released

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

It is time for Trump to put up or shut up in Court. A FEDERAL JUDGE said “no evidence before the court connects Abrego Garcia to MS-13 or any criminal organization.” No one is vouching for one man. We are standing up for EVERYONE’s right to due process under the Constitution.
