Trump, Bessent and Lutnick vowed that from the 4th quarter of 2025 onward they would stop blaming Biden, they would then “own” the economy, and every economic metric would be red hot with inflation 2% or less.

🚨 NEW: ADP report: U.S. LOST an average of 11,000 jobs per week in October 2025. Let’s compare, shall we: In 2024, the economy ADDED about 2.2 million jobs in 2024 — an average monthly GAIN of 186,000. From steady climb to sudden slide.

But he is for the people! Wake up people!!!

Breaking: Trump just banned states from being able to wipe medical debt from Americans’ credit reports. The Biden-Harris administration had moved to wipe medical debt from credit reports. Now this new rule will keep $220 billion in medical bills on Americans’ records.

71.5% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to government data. Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.” As Trump's regime terrorizes communities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of his biggest donors are private prison corporations.

Phillip: He denied being briefed on the files, which he was. He denied knowing Prince Andrew, despite pictures of them together, including at mar-a-lago. And he denied being on Epstein's plane when he had many times.

Yes, it will. Unfortunately, people will die because the rural hospitals will close.

"It's really harmful to people who rely on rural hospitals” Piper said. "We also know that there are tax cuts in there for the wealthiest, so they're getting rid of health care and instead giving it to wealthy folks. So, wealth care, if you will." www.kq2.com/news/second-...

Trump is punishing the people who voted for him

Bobby Kogan@bbkogan.bsky.social

NYT found the “big beautiful bill” would be the largest transfer from the poor to the rich in a single law since at least 1990. In fact, it would be the largest transfer *ever.* Reagan’s low-income cuts were MUCH smaller - and his tax cuts were done separately. And before him, nothing comes close.

So Trump, you want to deport “homegrown” criminals? Only one of you has 34 felony convictions, was found liable for sexual assault, impeached 2x, and is actively tearing this country apart. Look in the mirror,it’s you. Not sure you’d survive a gulag-you dodged military service because of bone spurs!

This is so sad. 😞 This is so true. 🥹

Hmmmmm…finally??

Kaine told reporters on Capitol Hill that he approached McConnell on the Senate floor yesterday evening. "I said, 'I want to talk to you about my Canadian tariffs bill.' And, you know, I didn't even get to the question, and he said, 'I'm with you.'

Hmmmm…is someone lying again! Oh ya he is.

"When he said, 'I have the highest poll numbers of any Republican for the last 100 years,' that wasn’t just wrong, it was the opposite of reality: At this point in their terms, every other GOP president since the dawn of modern polling has had more support than him." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

1. Tulsi Gabbard was overseas while participating in the Signal chat. 2. Steven Witkoff was in Russia when he was added to the Signal chat. 3. Russia infiltrated Signal some time ago to use it against Ukrainians. It’s high time to Benghazi the shit out of Trump’s administration.

A lot of people are going to die from this

First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year. “'It’s a six-month production cycle,' Dr. Offit said. 'So one can only assume that we’re not picking flu strains this year.'" Fundamentally, that's a form of mass murder. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/u...

Trump is hurting a lot of his rural voters, sad…very sad.

B of A: “.. the termination of #USAID will .. result in fewer crop purchases from US farmers. In 2024, USAID purchased $2 billion in U.S. grown corn, soybeans, wheat, vegetable oil, and peas from farmers, representing 1-2% of annual exports ..”

I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.

How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes? Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce. Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.

Somethings just never change. 😖

Harris beat Trump 54% to 43% among voters ages 18-24. Harris beat Trump 53% to 45% among voters ages 25-29. Harris beat Trump 51% to 45% among voters ages 30-39. Trump to Fox: “I won youth by 36 points.” www.cnn.com/2025/01/22/p...

Just a reminder: as a lawyer you don’t have to do immoral things for the client. You can quit.

BREAKING, via The Seattle Times: Trump's executive order to restrict birthright citizenship is blocked for at least the next two weeks by a Reagan appointee in Seattle who eviscerated the Trump lawyers present defending the order. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Same with me. For over a decade, there’s never been a site to reliably curate news other than Twitter. In just the last few days, I’ve seen news break here before I saw it on Twitter.

Bluesky, with a well curated follow list, has already replaced Twitter for me as the place to immediately see what's happening of relevance to me as a media producer in the independent media space
