If Biden had done this it would have been a major story that consumed the media for the next week.

I'm doing everything I can (although it is hard) to avoid shopping at Trump supporting merchants like Amazon, Target and Walmart. You should too.

Well worth your time: bsky.app/profile/moll...

For those of us who have even casually followed Trump through the years, there is one inescapable constant about him; he is a pathological liar. He lies for advantage, to distract, to misinform and to denigrate. Protected by his wealth, he knows he can get away with it.

After Trump embraced crypto, Coinbase gave millions to PACs backing pro-Trump candidates. After Trump's win, they gave $1M to his inaugural and listed his meme coin. Now, Trump's SEC has dropped a major lawsuit against Coinbase. See how this works?

It's becoming abundantly clear that Trump is in cahoots with Xi Jinping and Putin to form a new world order of three powerful nations to rule all. We are letting it happen before our very eyes.

bsky.app/profile/rbre... Trump is robbing people who need the money the most to give it to people who need it the least.

bsky.app/profile/brig... let’s make them feel some pain.

It’s done.

The problem is that we all knew this was going to happen and too many democrats didn't go to the polls back in November: bsky.app/profile/rbre...

Another excellent video by Robert Reich. Check it out: bsky.app/profile/rbre...

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

Taking a break from all the crazy. Rewatching the Eagles Super Bowl win. Fly Eagles fly!

@ldarl56.bsky.social hi Lynn! Welcome to blue sky.

The other day, Elon Musk said that money saved from the federal job eliminations and layoffs may be given out to tax payers as a gift. Just another brazen money for votes scam to influence the MAGAs, low information voters and dopes. Keep em happy and they'll ignore the theft going on in plain view.

This is an excellent template and should be disseminated widely

The real problem is republicans in the house support everything Trump is doing. They want our democracy to collapse and are making it happen.

Trump official says corruption case against Adams is being dropped so he can aid Trump's immigration crackdown. The import of this argument is profound: A president can decide to prosecute alleged crooks or not based on whether they do his policy bidding. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/n...

Robert is right about this. The plan is to make as much money as they can over the next four years at the expense of us and our allies while forging strong bonds with dictators around the world. The Republican party is complicit. bsky.app/profile/rbre...

bsky.app/profile/burn... call or write to your Congress people representative senators and tell them to support Ukraine.

Why is it the only intelligent people seem to understand that Trump and the GOP are pathological lairs? The Supreme Court justices, every cabinet nominee; they all tell lies to get their positions and most of us know it. The Senate just goes along with it. bsky.app/profile/prot...

Trump has thrown Ukraine under the bus saying yesterday that the war is their fault. It's only a matter of time now before the USA allows Ukraine to fall to Russia. Our commitment to promoting true democracies throughout the world is over.

Musk says his actions will reduce the deficit by one trillion. Trump's proposed budget is over four trillion. Do the math America.

We are watching the USA become an oligarchy in real time, right in front of our eyes. The Republican party is not only complicit with this, they endorse it. I pray that in four years, the USA come to its senses and it's not too late to reverse all of this.

bsky.app/profile/burn... This is 100% true.

"There is overwhelming consensus on Capitol Hill that Russian President Vladimir Putin is a war criminal, NATO is critical to European and global security, and the United States has led the common defense." They all knew Trump was running against that.

Ok that made me laugh

A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, our healthcare, and the information we receive. Many are now currying favor with Trump to avoid accountability and maintain their power. This is what oligarchy looks like.

bsky.app/profile/rbre... The GOP hates working people.

bsky.app/profile/burn... is very interesting. Other make up professionals should chime in on this.

Elon musk is the richest man in the world, he could be funding hospitals, medical research and universities. He could be solving the climate crisis. He could be feeding, hungry children. Instead, he’s trying to make sure that your grandmother doesn’t get an extra dollar of Social Security.

I’m thinking about federal income tax. If the federal government isn’t meeting its obligations why should we? Specifically, I’d love to see states get the money first and hold it in trust pending litigation. I want to pay my taxes but not to a government that doesn’t respect the constitution.
