Bezos picked the name Amazon partly bc it starts with A. So I want to start the #zamazon movement where people shop at Amazon/Whole Foods as a LAST resort after trying Costco (or better yet small local shops). Target sucks now too. Walmart always did. Are all my 42 followers with me?!?! LG!
Article I, Section 9, Clause 8:
“no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”
The average American worker gets about a $2,500 bonus each year. Rep. Raskin has questions, I have answers. $1.3 billion for bonuses? Sounds like we can lower it and save taxpayers money.
9️⃣0️⃣ days. Not a single vote to lower costs.
House GOP leadership is playing politics with people’s lives. It’s time to listen to the American people and vote on legislation that makes life more affordable.
These men have largely rejected any obligation to public service, choosing to hoard their wealth or spend it on vanity projects rather than use it to aid the far less fortunate.
They tend to adhere to a libertarianism that claims to stand for broad personal liberties and expansive rights to free speech. The problem, though, is that they are ultimately thin-skinned and morally immature.
These are the questions that are haunting me today.
Americans of conscience, we must stand together and confront any president so wholly unsuited to lead the United States.
Re: the economic blackout. “If you only shop on Amazon, you haven’t supported your neighborhood. Your neighborhood is your neighbors, you property value, your safe streets – it’s all of that… So when you give up things for convenience, there is a price being paid."

“Donald Trump listens as Elon Musk speaks.” Sums up this entire dumpster fire of an administration. Elon kept him out of prison so now he needs to STFU, listen and obey. So weak.
Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out.
Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation.
Say equity, which a just society should pursue.
Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

An unelected shadow government is conducting a hostile takeover of the federal government.
DOGE is not a real government agency.
DOGE has no authority to make spending decisions.
DOGE has no authority to shut programs down or to ignore federal law.
DOGE’s conduct cannot be allowed to stand.
Murphy: "Let's not pull any punches about why this is happening. Elon Musk makes billions off of his business with China. And China is cheering at this action today. There is no question that the billionaire class trying to take over our govt right now is doing it based on self-interest."
Domestic violence shelters. Shelter for homeless veterans. Suicide hotlines. Meals for seniors.
Even the shortest disruption in funding to the vital services could be catastrophic.
Republicans want to punish vulnerable Americans to go after perceived “wokeness”
We can do anything for 4 years. Boycott Facebook, Target, Amazon, Whole Foods (no one should be shopping at Walmart anyway). One drop of water is a blip and millions at once is a tsunami. LFG. See you all at Costco!
