Whether it is the East Wing of the White House, the Reflecting Pool on the Mall, the East Potomac golf course, or the Kennedy Center, the wildly incompetent Donald Trump can't turn his attention to *anything* without leaving behind debris and destruction.

On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

$4.28/gal for regular gas isn’t going too help the GOP candidates in states where buying groceries or going to school events s can mean a 20-60 mile drive.

We really need answers—yesterday

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

Apparently it is of no concern to any Republicans that Trump and Bessent are taking in billions of dollars from plundered Venezuelan oil and nobody knows where the money is, where is has been going, if anyone is getting proceeds, with no accounting of any of it made available.

Why yes, Google does support Fascism. Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai attended Trump's inauguration and donated $1 million to Trump’s inaugural fund.

Interesting that the top two beers listed are Mexican…

Roman Emperors at least provided free grain and entertainment spectacles to appease people. The Trump admin serves up $5,000 trackside tickets and $14 beers. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Miss Candy had outfitted the Blue Angels for 43 years. The Navy was paying her $127,000 per year for the contract. Without telling her, the Trump regime gave the contract to a white man 900 miles away and paid him almost triple. Original post: www.instagram.com/reel/Db8Yh5b...

And they are hanging out with nothing to do because they are told there are no work shifts to fill.

Ret. Maj. Gen. Lepper says he worries that Americans are banking on the idea that members of the military will reject illegal orders if told to interfere with the midterm elections, but he says that's not something soldiers are trained to do.

The president is an insane criminal murdering people on boats, blowing up a school full of children, and sending masked agents to execute people in the street. Meanwhile, normal Americans are trying to decide what to make for dinner.

Clear evidence that the Republican story of trickle down doesn’t work for anyone but the ultra rich getting richer.

Elizabeth Warren@warren.senate.gov

The richest 0.1% of Americans hold nearly as much wealth as the bottom 90% of families combined. We need a wealth tax now.

How many more deaths will this cause? Instruction booklets say ‘May cause sudden death’

Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com

You’ve got to be shitting me. We’re spending $20 MILLION of our tax dollars on stun gloves. And we’re supposed to pretend this will cut down on lethal force AND that ICE has good judgment? This is going to lead to more abuse, not less.

Pro birth- not pro life. tRump has a long record of actions in his administration that have led to harm and deaths of many many people.

Blanche: "President Trump is the most pro-life president in history. For the first time in a decade, HHS and the FDA are taking a real look at what's happening with some of these abortion pills and whether they're safe or not."

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 Whistleblowers inside ICE have informed that internal memos have been sent out from ERO FODs (Field Office Directors) ordering ICE to cease making vehicle stops until further notice. "No more vehicle stops, effective immediately."

Well that’s simply wire fraud.

Bill Prady@billprady.com

There were two entities: America 250, a bipartisan organization chartered by Congress, and Freedom 250, a Trump-backed group. Companies intending to donate to America250 were supplied routing and account numbers that directed their funds to Freedom 250. wapo.st/4fe4Whs

wapo.stDonors were misled by Trump-backed Freedom 250, House Democrats allegeThe lawmakers’ report alleges that Trump allies worked to divert funds away from America250, a bipartisan effort to mark the nation’s semiquincentennial. Freedom 250 denies the allegations.

Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis. Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention. So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption. 1/ Here it is - in one🧵

How much do you his kickback was?

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

Trump said the repairs would cost $1.8 million. It ended up costing $14 million. The company doing the repairs got a no-bid contract that baked in a 20% profit margin. The typical federal construction contract profit margin is 6% to 12%. Where’s the uproar about waste, fraud, and abuse now?

Read and comment. We do not want to set the US back even further than has been done already.

In 1863, Lincoln signed the National Academy of Sciences into law as an INDEPENDENT non-gov entity. Since WW2, we enjoyed pre-eminence in research. We benefitted from Germany's brain drain. We had the privilege of first access to next gen treatments before other countries. They looked to us. 🧪🧵
