Went to the store to grab a couple things & noticed that literally everything has gone up at least 25¢. Buckle up because we are about to feel some pain. It’s not too late to start that garden. Even if you have to buy a couple plants, it’s still worth it. A pepper plant costs $4. A pepper costs $3.

Keep the Congressional switchboard number handy these days: (202) 224-3121

The absolute truth, I no longer trust us either. The America I know and love is currently muffled under Krasnov's fat ass.

We need a return to normalcy!

Good morning 🌞

Carney: "The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over."

Wondering how much more absolute trump/maga bullshit we are going to tolerate?

Just wondering if Willie could fire joe & mika and make this a quality show again?

A troubling pattern is emerging. As if Elon Musk didn’t already have enough power, he pressured Reddit’s CEO to censor content he didn’t like—pressure we hope Reddit will resist in the future.

🚨 NOMINATION PULLED Trump announces he is pulling Elise Stefanik's nomination to be ambassador to the United Nations. The White House was concerned about the Republicans' slim majority in the House.

Trump is urging GOP lawmakers to defund PBS "immediately". He's not the first right-wing crook to wage war on public broadcasting. Here's what national treasure Fred Rogers told Congress in 1969 when Richard Nixon tried to gut PBS.

Actually, quite flattering.

Evening truth. A tear for the nights end

This hasn’t aged well.

If you have time to film the entirety of an ICE kidnapping you have time to intervene

The whole world now feels this way toward us, TBH.

The thing about calling for Pete Hegseth to resign is it was ridiculous he was confirmed in the first place. He’s not going to get smarter.

@barackobama.bsky.social Thank you for your kind words. 💙 🇺🇸 The change will be on us. We the people of the United States 🇺🇸 💙

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income. Who agrees it’s time to scrap the cap?

The US is disappearing Venezuelan men to a mega-prison in El Salvador because of their tattoos. One of these men is Frizgeralth de Jesus Cornejo, a baker with a tattoo of an autism awareness ribbon dedicated to his brother.

I hope so 😁 👏🏾👏🏾

And they think getting rid of the Department of Education is a good idea?...

Flight bookings between Canada and the United States have “collapsed” amid Trump’s trade war. Passenger bookings are “down by over 70% in every month through to the end of September” compared to last year.

Take Note!!!

Pete Hegseth recklessly disclosed sensitive military attack plans that jeopardized American lives. And previously embarrassed us in front of our NATO allies in Brussels. Why does this guy still have a job?

Here’s an unctuous toady who has zero scruples around caring about what could have happened to troops due to the morons running national security and confuses luck with what her actual job is, which is making sure people don’t have to rely on luck to stay alive www.nytimes.com/2025/03/27/u...

Take note

Of course they are.
