Electricity be damned! Trump only wants/needs: • to look grand to others • feel like a "king," receive royal treatment • feel like a "winner" [e.g., airplane, minerals] Unless Trump thinks that he won received a privilege, or is shown only in the best regard, he simply does.not.care.

Robert Reich advocates for taxes for the mega wealthy to build a strong middle-class. We took our power back and demanded fair wages in the Gilded Age of the Rockefellers and the Carnegies. We can do it again!!! The single stupidest statement about Trump ever made open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

There is so much more that unites us than divides us. From the Michigan Senate to the U.S. Senate, I’ll build partnerships with people who are serious about getting to “yes” on the solutions that benefit all of us.

Any Democrat in the Senate that votes for the DOGE nominee should be primaried and voted out of office!! Trump nominated a "DOGE person" to lead the Social Security Administration. Sign the petition to tell the Senate NO! sswk.me/s/g1WCw3

Yada, yada, yada. Blah, blah, blah. Yes, grandpa keeps repeating the same ol' things. Now, he blames Biden for his maxed out credit card and calls staff "MS-13 invaders." At least grandpa is happy to report how many invaders were deported when the day shift goes home.

I'm sure it's bad...but, it could be worse [says an American... as we, the People piece our Constitution back together].

Money laundering just like the lawsuits.

As they should! Crypto is nothing, zip, zero, zilch, nada! There is literally no tangible investment and it's extremely volatile. And why would anyone give their hard earned money to Frauds? It would be more beneficial to burn your cash for warmth!

Repatriation of children of war is a Crime against Humanity under International Law. This sweet little girl deserves to grow up in a safe, peaceful Ukraine -- her country, culture, and language.

The Truth about the Russo-Ukrainian War. Russia, don't you have enough land?

(((HUGS))) to the babies, children, mothers, fathers -- everyone living through this unnecessary violence against the innocent, please know that you are loved and thought about often. Europe needs to put boots on the ground NOW!

Hi Andrii. I hope your electricity is on now. Have you considered a solar powered generator? What do you and your neighbors usually do for relaxation? I imagine family and friends have meals together. Does each household bring a cooked dish or does the host(ess) provide all or most of the meal?

SOS! Everyone within the United States has the right to due process. No one is judge and jury in the United States of America -- NOT the president -- NOT Ms. Bondi -- ONLY a Judge or Judge and Jury can make that decision. @sanders.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social @booker.senate.gov @raskin.house.gov

Everyone within the United States' has the Constitutional right to due process. If someone is suspected of a crime, they cannot be arrested only IF the police/ICE/US Marshalls show a warrant with the person's name and a judge's signature. Period. Bondi nor anyone is judge and jury. Full 🚫.

We need to help them!!!

No cap = Truth. Delusion vs. Reality.

Ad hominem [personal attacks] are worth -0- points at most. In fact, the one personally attacking someone loses face, respect, and credibility with the audience. Once credibility is lost, the person is no longer trusted or believed. If someone uses personal attacks, they have no actual point.

Putin cannot be rewarded for breaking international law and aggressively invading Ukraine, killing their people, raping women and children, and kidnapping children to repatriate them in Russia. Period. Full stop. Russia should have been stopped at Crimea. Ukraine is a test. How much can they take?

We have Independents. Take 'The People's President' Bernie Sanders, for example. Below, on the Left: Bernie Sanders marching for Civil Rights. Below, on the Right: Bernie at the podium holding hands up with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at their "Fight Oligarchy" Tour, L.A., CA on April 12, 2025.

"The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” Mark 12:31 "He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous are both alike an abomination to the LORD.” Proverbs 17:15

This is the way politics is done -- maintaining decorum at all times -- sometimes during a heated debate -- other times negotiating a fair deal between rivals.

In Japan, the average CEO salary is ~$300k. The culture puts the 'group' above the 'individual.' Japanese value all employees; big companies show it by providing supplemental benefits to the minimum required by law. For example, maternity leave may be 1-3 years instead of 6 wks pre/8 wks post birth.

Meloni is too cozy with Elon Musk. Is she a neo-Nazi?

Sure. Musk would be happier there..

The postal service said in a press release Tuesday that the move was in response to the US "bullying and imposing tariffs abusively."

Let's pencil it in. [Write it on our calendar].

Unconstitutional, unpatriotic, and unAmerican.

President Reagan is rolling in his grave! Reagan spoke on the West Germany side of "The Wall." Then, he started chipping away at The Wall...even East German guards did not prevent it. The Wall coming down helped lead to the Fall of Communism.

@schumer.senate.gov Jennifer, please share what you would write if in Sen. Schumer's position. All are welcome to share examples! We want constructive criticism.

What Cory Booker did, made me feel very good, emboldened… Then we also won the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, and I got my optimism back!

🚨 The Senate is about to vote on a new Republican budget plan with made-up math. Don't let them gaslight you about what it really adds up to: a gigantic giveaway to billionaires and corporations that YOU have to pay for. Info & call script at 5calls.org
