By all means don’t listen to the voters

Trump on taxes -- what was promised vs. what is being delivered: ❌ no tax on tips ❌ no tax on overtime ❌ no tax on Social Security ✅ tax cuts for billionaires ✅ new tariff taxes, jacking up the cost of EVERYTHING

In April 2024, we received two voicemails to @idoubtitpodcast.bsky.social from a Trump supporter threatening me with rape and murder and @dollemore.com with murder. The office responsible for prosecuting this case is now run by a Trump loyalist who posts things like this:

Hiding from the public sounds like a great 2026 re-election strategy for Republicans DEMAND A TOWN HALL FROM YOUR GOP CONGRESSMAN

I keep thinking about this line: "Extending the tax cuts for the top 1 percent costs $1.1 trillion through 2034, roughly the same amount they are proposing in cuts for millions who rely on Medicaid for health coverage and who use SNAP to buy groceries." www.cbpp.org/press/statem...

Something’s coming youtu.be/FOQPMjKLQQU?...

Here to support my friend @joyannreid.bsky.social as she signs off, her last show! She's one of the best!!!

Trump is SHUTTING DOWN all 8000 EV chargers at federal facilities These EV chargers were already bought, paid for with our tax dollars, installed, and operational THIS is what real government waste looks like And what does Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, think of this?

Republicans are taking away health care from kids and grandparents to give Elon Musk even larger tax breaks. It's betrayal. Plain and simple.

They must be kidding! The ReidOut is my favorite MSNBC show and they are cancelling it! What a crime. I can't stand these cowardly networks. Where ever Joy Reid does a new show, I'll be there. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/f...

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

Dear Governor Kathy Hochul: It's time. You have the power to remove Eric Adams from office as NYC mayor. Take a stand -- and stand up for cleaning up corruption in New York. REMOVE ADAMS NOW. Sincerely, A New Yorker

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

“I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

We need a group of lawyers who are willing to take every lawsuit from every fired federal employee to the max. Bury this admin in lawsuits

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

🎯 🔥 Another @jessicatarlov.bsky.social Truth Bomb on Fox: “What’s going on is Trump doesn’t like sharing power with anyone. He thinks Congress is irrelevant and he wants to run all over us.”

I live in New York City in the year 2025. The president is a convicted felon. The mayor of NYC is an indicted felon. The secretary of defense is a Fox News host. The secretary of transportation is a Fox News host. The very worst people in America are in charge of America.

The men and women of the FBI deserve a Director who respects the mission of the agency. Instead, the President has nominated someone who has peddled in conspiracy theories and has a revenge agenda.

BREAKING: The Department of Veterans Affairs has CANCELLED SUICIDE PREVENTION TRAINING because it includes considerations for the LGBTQ+ community. Veterans suicide.

NEW: Major MAJOR issues being reported in Medicaid portal access. Federal $ that states use to supplement their Medicaid expenses is NO LONGER accessible. Fears mopunting that states will very soon not be able to pay providers, miss payroll, etc... Ironically, red states will be hit hardest.

I'm sorry — the White House *doesn't know* if they're freezing health care for 72 million people?

do you enjoy knowing that when you deposit money in a US bank, you won't lose that money? nice, right? it's because bank deposits are insured by FDIC. i don't know what FDIC ever did to these people, but apparently it too is now on their blow-it-up list: www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

BREAKING — Inspectors General are NOT leaving, stating Trump’s attempted firings broke the law Also: Chuck Grassley, Republican Senator from Iowa, said Trump broke law requiring 30 days notice to Congress and detailed reasons for firing IGs KEEP STANDING YOUR GROUND!

This is Carolyn Edwards. She was one of the first officers attacked and knocked out on January 6th. She bravely testified before the January 6th committee. She is one of the bravest people I know and she deserves better. (She posted this publicly on her FB page which is why I'm sharing publicly)

Footage from last year is now resurfacing of Trump promising to “end inflation” starting on “day one.” — Egg prices are up. — Gas prices are up. — He is promising tariffs that will raise prices even more.

Hard no. Maybe he’ll say it was just a joke but you can’t put the FBI in the hands of someone who thinks this is funny.

BREAKING -- Trump RAISES prescription drug costs. He just reversed all the cost caps that had been negotiated for anyone on Medicare or Medicaid -- over 120 MILLION Americans. He's pro Big Pharma -- and pro Big Insurance. He doesn't care about you. It was all LIES.

Trump has rescinded a Biden executive order calling for the development of policies to lower drug costs for people in Medicare and Medicaid.

With pardons, January 6 offenders are now free to possess firearms and ammunition again. Their convictions would have made that a federal crime, but no more.

As DHS secretary Kristi Noem will be responsible for FEMA After a record breaking flood, As governor, she left her own constituents, high and dry w/out National Guard assistance, but she did send the national guard to the Texas Mexico border 1200 miles away at taxpayers expense—5 times!

This is truly disgusting, partisan behavior. Trump said he'll hold LA disaster funds hostage until Republicans “get everything we want” in the federal budget. He's using fire victims as leverage to rush through tax cuts for billionaires. California fire victims are not DC's political pawns.

Ben Wikler, leading candidate for DNC Chair pointed out at the Chorus forum, every state needs a different strategy. There is no one size fits all solution, but what we can’t do is continue to focus on 7 swing states, we have to show up everywhere. @wearechorus.bsky.social youtu.be/X2FVrasJ8mQ

NEW: Medicare just released the next 15 drugs that they will negotiate prices for. Thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act — passed by Democrats without a single Republican vote — Americans will save BILLION of dollars on their prescription drugs each year. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Pakistan did it. South Korea is doing it. Only in the US has the Supreme Court put the president above the law.

All that matters for right-wing media, including Fox, is obedience to Trump. Facts don't matter. Reality doesn't matter. Science doesn't matter. It's all about fealty to Trump & subservience to an extremist agenda. The people who know better go along because they're paid well. All of us will suffer.

“Pam Bondi is a Donald Trump loyalist. And, if you won’t say no to Donald Trump when it comes to the Big Lie, what will you say no to him about?” joycevance.substack.com/p/pam-bondi

Not all heroes wear capes 🤣

He's taking credit for the Biden Administration's work.

Looks like there is only one person interested in suppressing the truth, and it’s not the Jan 6 committee

One of the very few good things that could, maybe, hopefully, emerge from the disastrous Trump reign is Americans realizing the billionaire class is a bunch of corrupt, self-serving, overhyped freaks. Maybe this country will stop worshipping them and start resenting them as our enemies.

America is such a broken, self destructive country. We affirmed the election of an election denying criminal who led a violent insurrection 4 years ago and we normalize him and his MAGA movement. Shameful.

One way of protecting the country we love is keeping our memories of the events of January 6, 2021, strong and fresh. For too many people, the outrage has slipped away over time. Joyce vance.substack.com/p/the-week-ahead-e91

Proud to have family and friends by my side as I swore in to the 119th Congress! Yesterday, I voted for Rep. Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker of the House. He received the full support of our Caucus - WITHOUT having to make any shady side deals to secure votes. Our current Speaker can't say that.

The same people who say evil billionaires like George Soros control the world elected a cadre of evil billionaires like Elon Musk to control the world.
