I posted this exact suggestion and said EVERY retailer should do it (even those who might not be that affected—which might even help them get customers)… I hope they continue with their plans to do it. It’s really only FAIR to us customers to know how much economic pain the ignoramus is inflicting.

I wish we could find someone to go on TV (EVERYWHERE) who’s well known, smart, convivial & not considered “partisan” to tell the people in everyday language that Trump has absolutely no idea what he’s doing.

The Courts need to put a stop to this nonsense...this is more evidence of people being taken and deported with no due process...how does this continue when the Supreme Court has said that the regime CANNOT deport people without due process? open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

They’re fucking up left and right and covering it up…then speeding things along and claiming that it’s out of their control. This is outrageous. When will Congress and the courts act to put a stop to this stupidity and outright cruelty.

Anyone else think the term “baby bonus” is such a disgusting, crass way to describe what Trump wants to talk about?! I mean…we have child tax credits and other benefits afforded to taxpayers for children and expenses related to them…but to just “pay people” to have babies just seems so gross!

Trump’s seeming friendship with Putin is so misplaced…he worships autocrats because he admires how they control their counties…ruling and never being questioned (them purporting to be adored because of the lack of opposition). Trump has miscalculated if he thinks that’ll work in America.

…another example of corporate consolidation suppresses competition & denies consumers better products at competitive rates. Cox is the only cable option available where I live & their DVR solution via their Contour app is horrible. It crashes all the time & there’s no economic incentive to fix it

Just to be clear…this the same Marco Rubio who just the other day denied any plans to overhaul the a State Department? Yeah…we really can’t believe a single word of the mouths of any of Trump’s Cabinet Secretaries. They’re literally lackies of the worst variety. apple.news/Ae_OTwoYTTce...

How many times do Dems need to say “govt is not a business?!” Moving fast and breaking things isn’t the same as in corporations where they might be able to quickly fix what they break…when you break govt services, people who need help don’t get it & risk losing access to food, medicine & healthcare.

I’m on an @amtrak.com train (Northeast regional) from NYC to Norfolk, VA and for the life of me can’t figure out why #AT&T can’t guarantee 5G service all the way…this is one of the most highly trafficked corridors in the United States? And I pay a sh** ton of money for my monthly service. For what?!

Donald Trump is truly the stupidest man ever to be President. Calling Jerome Powell a “total loser” while claiming there’s virtually no inflation while he puts 130% tariff on every good coming from China raising everyday prices for all of us…is just the epitome of stupid.

As a fan of Broadway shows and plays since I was a child, it is truly heartbreaking that we’ve allowed prices of tickets to enjoy the same amazing theater I enjoyed as a child to totally overtake any family in the middle class. The arts should be accessible by every family!!

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!!!

What’s remarkable and not being highlighted enough is the fact that Sam Alito and Clarence Thomas are OK with these people being denied due process. That should shock the fu** out of anyone and is enough for me to call for their immediate impeachment.

I was listening to this Saturday's Coffee Klatch (H. Lofthouse and R. Reich) and love this new nickname for Trump -- the Mad King...it's really the perfect metaphor for this chaos and authoritarianism originating from this regime. youtu.be/KdVOk-RDCg8

…because Trump is effectively the absolute laziest President we’ve ever elected…if it’s too hard, he just says “fuck it” and walks away and says let them fuck themselves…not my problem. He’s such a horrible human being. apple.news/AzXTjObzZTf-...

It’s one thing to give people the information they need to be healthy with good wellness tips…but it’s not at all appropriate to effectively withhold government assistance (food subsidy) to force the behavior they want…because if you use sugar or soda as the bar today, where’s the line tomorrow?

Really, BlackRock CEO? Anything you could’ve imagined? Trump is tanking Biden’s booming economy for no reason except his own irrational, out of touch, personal agenda on tariffs—which are just plain wrong. Trump is not a trained economist but, alas, he is incapable of believing he is ever wrong.

It’s almost unbelievable to consider that today is the start of only his 13th week in office (day 85)? It feels like it’s already been at least a year of upheavals, chaos, and uncertainty…all things that economic activity abhors.

One of the biggest benefits of a government is gathering data about the world we live in so that it can facilitate the means to improve peoples’ lives. The government is best poised to do this because they lack an incentive to skew or bias the data b/c they’re not trying to profit from it. (1/2)

Trump treats the Presidency like it’s just a channel for his personal enjoyment, taking his boyfriends out for date night while 1000s of his employees are fired for no reason… the callousness is staggering… he really feels nothing for the people he’s firing…truly a sociopath (no empathy).

If anyone thinks that Trump’s belief that somehow Putin and Russia are “reasonable” you’re fooling yourselves. Putin is a vicious, autocratic dictator posing as an elected President even tho he knows nothing of the sort resembles truth. apple.news/AHTE--gkXTn6...

This is blackmail / extortion by our govt…thrusting its heavy hand into local school systems, telling them how to run their operations or risk not getting funding that helps feed low income kids—kids whose main meal of the day might be the one they get at school! www.13newsnow.com/article/news...
