If you’re a Dem elected and you’re not mentioning the massive cuts to cancer cure and social security funding in every public appearance you’re just not doing your job.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Good morning. The House voted yesterday to kick millions of off their health care, close rural hospitals, and shut down addiction clinics. All in order to afford a giant tax cut for Elon Musk, Donald Trump and their billionaire and corporate friends.

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

With every asinine, appalling, dangerously reckless nominee, with every abhorrent policy move that endangers fellow Americans and the most vulnerable among us, I will be more determined to dig in my heels and stand up for democracy, equality and a better future. This nightmare won’t last forever.

A quick note: It is my view that the term “First Felon” should be capitalized both out of respect and because it refers to a very specific individual.

There is a two-tiered system of justice in this country, and Donald Trump lives on the tier where he gets to walk into the White House without spending a single day in jail or being put on probation after being convicted of 34 felonies. www.cnn.com/politics/liv...

Supreme Court Justice and Insurrection Aficionado Sam Alito would have us believe he only talked to Trump to discuss the qualifications of a former law clerk for a Government job. First of all, Trump has no idea who that guy is, and second, he would never conduct a reference check himself, ever!…

In response to Trump wanting to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, Mexico’s President Sheinbaum responded that renaming North America to its original name América Mexicana”, or “Mexican America”… “sounds nice, no?”

4 years ago Trump incited a deadly riot on our Capitol. He tries to tell you what you saw with your own eyes wasn't real, his associates deleted texts and told lies for him. The fact remains today- Donald Trump is a weak, cowardly traitor to our country.

Today is January 6, the anniversary of the felon/GOP’s violent insurrection trying to stop the peaceful transfer of power in the 2020 election! We remember 140 officers who were injured & those who lost their lives due to the attack on the Capitol! Hold all involved in the insurrection accountable!

If you’d told me on Jan 6th 2021 that the man responsible for that horrific attack would end up returning to the office he tried to steal that day, and that he’d do so after calling the attackers “heroes” & “hostages” he was going to pardon, I’d have thought you were out of your damn mind. And yet…

Solar is about 40% of CAISO's (California) electricity at 9 in the morning of December 1, 2024. Gas is about 23%. Solar is generating more electricity than gas in both Texas & California this December morning. Few, if anyone, thought that would happen 5 years ago. www.caiso.com/todays-outlo...
