My favorite thing about this survey was it didn't ask me to donate at any point. Jon has a great rating for not taking PAC money so I will be donating and voting to keep him as my Senator.

🔥 "Tonight, the people stealing from Americans are not folks with tattoos & hoodies. It's people wearing suits & congressional pins. Not in some random alley, wrapped in darkness. But in the United States congress, wrapped in the flag. We will never forget this." - Congressman Maxwell Frost.

MAJOR BREAKING UPDATE: 1.5 million customers in NY, Michigan, and Minnesota are about to lose power. Trump’s tariffs on Canada just crossed the line. Ontario Premier has had enough—this is WAR.

Another example of the GOP hurting average Americans and their future earnings potential. This is a class war. These rich assholes that run everything know the best way to stay on top is make sure your plebians don't become smarter than you. apnews.com/article/trum...

When you solve for the wrong problem, not only do you not get the solution, you can cause harm. The President wasted water that was being saved for farmers for a PR stunt. This was harmful, ludicrous, and solved nothing.

"In 2024, the top 1% controlled nearly half (49.9%) of all equities and mutual fund shares, while the bottom 50% held only 1%, according to Federal Reserve data." And yet these poor people continue to vote for the Plutocracy 🤯 Fuck the Plutocracy!

So according to Musk, American workers are too stupid for tech jobs, so we need educated immigrants to take those good jobs, all while destroying the department of education so we're even more poorly educated? Make it make sense & when did we elect or give clearance to Elon Musk for anything. #coup

I have covered the U.S. Department of Education in some form or another for 14 years. If anyone there would like to talk confidentially, on background or off the record, about what's happening currently, you can reach me on Signal - tylerkingkadenbc.20 - or email - tyler.kingkade[at]nbcuni.com.

So lets recap: - Trump announces tariffs. - Allies turn against the U.S., launch boycotts on U.S. products and boo us at events. - Markets nosedive. - Trump caves. The "deals": - Mexico agrees to do the same things they always do at the border to help the U.S. (including under Biden) 1/

These tariffs are all probably just a ploy from Musk and Trump to destroy the stock market so they and all the billionaire friends can run in sweep up stock cheap and remove the tariffs. We've all seen Musk manipulate the markets in the past. They can afford the pain and be enriched off of it.

In case you were wondering why Chinese tariffs are 15% less than for Canada and Mexico, follow the money. Elon Musk currently has a 4,500,000 sq. ft. car manufacturing plant in China. Tesla does not currently have car plants in Canada or Mexico. One is planned for Mexico. In time for a tariff lift.

California DOE fires back against Trump's executive order: "It does nothing" "It is against federal law for the White House to dictate what educators can and cannot teach" Will not comply.

You know what I love most about #bluesky? That I can express my thoughts and opinions without getting a warning before it posts telling me to edit it. If I want to call Trump & Musk fascist assholes, I can. If I want to say fuck Trump & the entire racist misogynistic GOP, I can 😁. TY 4 real FoS!

I hope Canada and Mexico stand strong against the orange shit stain and let MAGA see who really pays for his dumbass tariffs. If you cave to the toddler tantrum, he'll only get worse. If you thought COVID inflation was bad, we're about to experience Trump inflation 2.0. #TrumpInflation

My heart breaks for all of the families affected by this horrible accident. Can you imagine what the GOP would be saying to and about Pete Buttigieg and Lloyd Austin if this tragedy happened 2 weeks ago?
