And just like that, there is now nothing more certain than this: if the U.S. purchases btcoin -- it WILL sell it at the absolute first opportunity that there is . . .

A deep irony persists with the rhetoric from this billionaire administration, telling Americans our government doesn't work while refusing to ever pay their fair share into it.

The plan seems to be breaking the ssa's ability to function, fast, then they'll likely tell Americans that it was already broken. Lol. They systemically undervalue social security because the people who rely it don't fund super pacs and its $ they couldnt steal. It's admin v. The People on this one

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_i... Obligatory bump of the 1st impeachment of Don T. The plan is the plan, America be damned. Smh

youtube.com/shorts/3b710... Live look at Republicans in Washington when Don-T suspends aide to Ukraine (despite knowing that was the plan all along)

It's not their's to ruin or sell

Critically under staffing the SSA to place unbearable pressure on the system is an illegal betrayal of the american public. This is not partisan, this is Don T v. the people of the united states. In addition to keeping millions of people out of poverty, Soc. Sec. provides economic stability for ALL.

Turns out it's 'Make America Velochestvenny Again' this time around. Lol, ok dude

I'm only so old (as are we all). Until now, I wasn't sure if I had ever seen treason, allowing a wide,safe gulf between an act people believe is wrong or bad for America and true treason. Yesterday the whole world watched treason transpiring in the oval in real time. Acts > words. I can't unsee it.

These guys would sell the whole wide world and everything in it for a pat on the back

Trumpty dumpty has pushed our politics off the (border) wall

Congress was beholden to donors and lobbies pre citizens united, but not like today. Donors acting in groups and in coordination with lobbies and political networks could have significant influence over a politician. Now, post citizens united, with dust well settled, one person can buy the caucus.

It's a straight (and relatively short) line in our politics between citizens united and elmo

Swiss account where a soul should be

A sailboat where a soul should be

Rob from the poor to give to rich. These congressional budgets are the actions that speak louder than words.

We've already got cameras in there so...should congress operate as a game/reality show? [Maybe a Mark Burnett produced..Jeff Probst or Alan Cumming as parlimentarians?!] Think about it this way, rules would be followed, the people elect the cast, and we'd follow and watch democracy in action.

Commuting on the DC metero bus most mornings this winter, down to the corner at 16th and K with white house in view and washington's monument peering over its shoulder. I got no choice but to think about the state of our nation and the lives of its people.

For all the projection and rhetoric of strength, our UN vote shows this admin is dangerously weak. Don-T's "good people on both sides" policy on the war for Ukraine is not ignorance, it's obedience. We're being had, made to betray allies. But the american people can still smell and something stinks

It's one thing for this admin to muck up the federal gov from its seat here in DC, but it's another entirely for it to pretend that has authority over states. The irony that red states would cede aspects of their sovereignty to the whims of Don-T and Creepy-Me Elmo is on full display.

Look for the ones inexplicably sweating in sub 20° weather

On the DC metro bus, playing a new game, spot the dogey pups (aka elmo's kids) and the mini magas

Republicans and Dems alike, each of you have real governing power granted to them by the people of their states and districts. So sad to see them meek, shrinking, defeated, or worse, obedient. Even team players have spines. Every issue, every vote, every day is an opportunity. Make some noise, Reps!

I'm looking out at the capitol rotunda from my office here in DC. Its 20° and overcast this morning. Looking over there now I'm thinking "welp, nothing's happening there..." Like damn, the building might as well be empty.

Any guess on how long until they put our national parks up for sale?

Wishing I had a friend like Nico Harrison

Thought folks were all just going outside, but I'm still down
