George Clooney for President.

CNN needs to do real time fact checking. Just watched a Republican from Oklahoma claim that inflation was at 4.6% when Trump took office, blaming it on Biden. NONSENSE! It was 3% and trending down. CNN never questioned it. Bad media! Bad!

Happy Easter everyone. While I'm not prone to wearing religion on my sleve, this year I profess my faith in Jesus Christ and ask all others who do so to think really hard about what that means. Would Christ support the actions of our current leadership? HOW WOULD JESUS VOTE?

I'll say it again. Markets don't lie.

More market manipulation? Tariffs lifted on phones, chips and other electronics? WTF?

Here’s the real reason why DOGE is gutting the IRS. (Hint: it has nothing to do with “efficiency.”)

Trump just blinked on Tarrifs. Don't be fooled. No strategy here.

Excited for all the new American banana and coffee factories.

Markets don't lie!

When used inappropriately, as I believe the president is doing with across-the-board import taxes on our allies and adversaries alike, tariffs lead to higher prices, fewer jobs, slower economic growth, and more contentious relationships with nations around the world. My full statement here:

"After he melted your retirement he played golf" Would be a good one liner for a politician

Tucked away in South America, out of the spotlight, legal weed, progressive on gender, universal healthcare, great education system, nice climate, lots of beaches, and 100% renewable energy. I dunno y'all ...

WTF?

Hey, why no tariffs on Russia?

Elon Musk and his co-President Donald Trump are dismantling NOAA, and the consequences will be catastrophic—especially for coastal communities. I led 113 of my colleagues in demanding answers from Commerce Secretary Lutnick about this reckless purge.

Dismantling the Department of Education will hurt all public schools, but rural schools will be hit hard. As one Eastern Oregon school board member said, “public education is on the chopping block, and it’s a travesty — a disaster for our country and our state.” www.opb.org/article/2025...

Bernie's the MAN! He's been fighting for workers rights, climate change, women's rights, black rights, taxing the rich, and free healthcare for decades. THIS MAN IS OLDER THAN BIDEN! But his ideas are more aligned with the younger generations. Even today, when Harris is MIA, Bernie and AOC are here!

Funny thing about Republicans. They like to wear their religion on their sleeves, but when it comes to social welfare issues, they are hard core Darwinists. The weak get eaten.

A guy with huge business and financial interests in China, and no demonstrated loyalty to America, may be getting a briefing on possible U.S. conflict with China? What could possibly go wrong.

It's utter madness. Elon Musk is reportedly being given access to our warfighting plans for a potential conflict with China! Praying that it's not true.

The Felon President is condemning ‘waste’ and firing workers – while cashing in by traveling to his own resorts and over-charging secret service to stay there. Read more here: bit.ly/4imHMET #DonTheCon

Well now it all makes sense. The true genius of Elon Musk is his ‘subsidy harvesting strategy,’ political science professor says www.yahoo.com/finance/news...

Electricity rates are skyrocketing in Oregon to power data centers for crypto miners and AI. As farmland is overtaken by massive data centers, publicly generated clean power is being hijacked by the technology elites. hillsboroherald.com/hillsboro-be...

Trump and Musk’s illegal firings of federal workers aren’t about efficiency—they’re about money, chaos, and control. Federal workers protect our natural wonders, health, safety, and rights, and I’m defending our public servants against these billionaires on a power trip.

Exactly who are the "elements of the deep state"?

Instead of tariffs, why don't we give tax breaks to corporations that create living wage jobs for US citizens, and increase taxes on companies that offshore US jobs?

Perhaps we wouldn't need DOGE if we fixed this giant tax dodge. www.yahoo.com/news/mother-...

USDA canceled federal funding for nonprofit food banks in North Carolina, money intended for farmers supplying fresh healthy produce. Will food banks be forced to return to handing out government surplus (i.e., cheap unhealthy processed food)? Will food banks survive? #MedSky #HealthSky #FitnessSky

There are signs far from Washington that moderate Democrats are doing extremely well in districts Trump captured only a few months ago.

The expanding list of targets within Trump's immigration agenda — especially immigrants married to U.S. citizens — pose a political test for the president.

Here's a question. How can we understand those decent and intelligent people among us who have been convinced that things are awful enough in America to resort to authoritarianism?
