Watched these first three episodes. A really great show that happens to have a pretty good cast. Margo’s Got Money Troubles on AppleTv

Gas is now 3.99 at the station by my house. Not sure if regular unleaded has been this high in a very very long time but it's going to kill people that do gig work. Getting to work is going to be expensive. Diesel is 4.99. we are going to see price increases right fast on about everything.

I have been looking for a little side gig to supplement my income. Maybe a bad time to be looking. But does it seem like companies have gotten just absolutely horrible at communicating? They want to use AI and a lot of other automation tools that just seem to make the whole experience awful.

“Palm Royale” show on AppleTv is a fun show. It’s a straight up enjoyable, sometimes laugh out loud, mess. We need more shows like this in our lives.

This literally makes zero sense. Americans already knew who stood in the way. And the Dems just gave that up. Even if they hold the vote, they vote no and move on. Dems take the blame for allowing it to happen in the first place when they had leverage to stop it.

Hassan: With the government reopening shortly, Republicans now finally have to come to the table. Or make no mistake, Americans will remember who stood in the way.

Voting for all your local reps and initiatives is extremely important. It’s where the most impact to your daily life happens. Voted to continue funding feeding kids free breakfast and lunch. I don’t have kids but it’s one of the few things I can do to help folks that live in CO.

These big networks were already slowly (very slowly) moving away from needing affiliates, having to make deals with cable companies, etc to streaming. I would have to think they might start fast tracking to get out of needing to have to deal with the government and FCC. Regardless of party.

Catching up on Sunday talk shows and all from today. I moved to Evans district in CO. A seat Dems hope to take. I will not vote for any Dem that supports keeping Jeffries as the speaker in the house. Even if that means leaving it blank.

Fairly concerned about tomorrow's fire danger. Winds will be unusually strong for August standards (30-40 mph) across our northern mountains. Plus, it's been bone dry + scorching all week. Be smart, Colorado. #COwx

They are going to burn this country to the ground trying to protect Trump and whomever else they are trying to protect They open this can of worms and I have no clue what happens next but it's not going to be good. The more they push this the more it's showing how guilty a bunch of people are.

I have started watching "Mobland" and am impressed so far. I have watched the first two episodes. It has a pretty good cast, but Tom Hardy makes it all worth it.

If you don't think that tariffs are slowly starting to creep into the costs of everyday items..... I paid 10.98 on May 14th for this coffee. Two weeks later, it is now 13.19. These things start to add up, and those of us on a budget need to start making choices.

This is a complete misreading of the American consumer. They will almost always pick the cheaper option. Trying to sell the prospect of "American made" is great in theory but the idea the majority of Americans want to pay the price for it is going to be a really tough sell to make.

As the Trump Administration continues to flood the zone, we’re starting a series called Friday Facts to shine a light on the real ways the president’s actions are harming folks in Colorado and beyond!

It's so funny to me that he ran to Musk to get to the bottom of "how it happened" when everyone knows how it happened. No IT expertise needed for this one. And we all know that Musk is going to have some virtually implausible answer to the "how" to try and help them save face.

Back in D.C. & the first bill House Republicans are pursuing? Imposing new responsibilities on the Department of Education — the very agency they’re trying to destroy. Make it make sense 🤷🏽‍♂️

One thing that seems to be missing in these stories. Federal is not lowering our taxes while they disband and attempt to transfer these responsibilities to states. States are going to have to cut other local/state services or raise taxes. We are going to either pay more or get way less. or both.

Breaking: President Donald Trump signed an executive order to largely dismantle the Department of Education — an organization created by Congress and tasked with sweeping responsibilities — in a dramatic step for his bid to overhaul the US government

Watching Adolescence on Netflix makes me glad I don’t have kids. Especially in the age of social media and all the weird ways they have of communicating that I don’t get.

They are going to tie themselves in knots trying to sell this idea of how great things will be on the other side. They have no idea how they are going to get to other side. They are just hoping it works out. And when it does not they are going to scapegoat anyone they can but themselves.

This man is not a doctor. He does not have anything resembling a medical background. Please, do not listen to this man about viruses that are easily preventable. He is going to get people hurt and cause a lot of pain. Measles can cause a lot of other long term health issues outside of death

Republicans have until March 14 to keep the government open. Dems are willing to work together to protect critical services. But their partisan bill takes away funding from veterans, health care, and housing. If they want to pass their backwards bill, it’s on them.

There were howls of protest and denial from the GOP any time we pointed out that Republicans want to cut Social Security. Now the most powerful official in the White House goes on TV and calls it "the big one to eliminate."

This should scare everyone. The Trump admin revoked Mahmoud’s legal status, kidnapped him, and is now holding him in an ICE detention facility without any due process. Trump is an authoritarian, testing the limits to see how much he can get away with. He won’t stop here.

NPR@npr.org

Mahmoud Khalil was inside his university-owned apartment Saturday night when several Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents entered and took him into custody.

Well. hmmmm I am starting to think that this is the best we are going to get from the current Dem leadership. They are going to help Trump bail out the farmers to the tune of billions and help them give a stimulus check too. Helping the GOP buy off the harm they are going to cause so many people.

Hakeem Jeffries@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

Donald Trump is tanking the economy in real time. There is a better way. House Democrats will continue to put the American people first.

As a journalist who covers extremism at the local level, I think it’s a mistake to view Trump’s Napoleonic statement as solely about presidential power. Consider if it’s interpreted as a wink and a nod for any extremist to act outside the law to “save” the country as they see fit

Not surprisingly, the Trump and GOP budget has nothing about no tax on tips, nothing on no tax on overtime, and nothing on no tax on social security. It does have a $4.5 trillion tax cut for billionaires however.

I live in CO. Dems control everything here. They had a super majority for a short period. They lost that. Instead of using that super majority to shove policy down the throat of the GOP they were instead more concerned about giving them a seat at the table. Dems are their own worst enemy.

CFPB NLRB Do not be surprised to start seeing companies like Amazon start trying to reset their starting wages. This is the goal. Reset the wages. Why GOP does not want to raise the min. wage. STOP SHOPPING AT THESE PLACES. Amazon, Target, etc. They want to go back closer to minimum wage.

We were permitted to ask a single question of the man in charge of today's ICE raids in Denver/Aurora. I asked how we should square their claims of targeted enforcement against violent criminals with witness reports and videos of door-to-door raids in apartments.

Collins: He said that Canada is going to be implementing a $1.3 billion border plan, where they talk about reinforcing the border. I should note that's actually something that was announced back in December

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

Why are DEMS not screaming about this from the rooftops? It’s a completely unnecessary removal of an EO outside of just doing it to undo anything Biden accomplished for people. Dems can’t play nice and think things will roll their way. They have to message this stuff otherwise it just gets buried

I watched Sunny on AppleTV+ last night. Binged the series as the episodes were 35-40 minutes. A pretty decent show but it makes for a weird and bleak future. Assuming we make it that far. It is hard to comprehend that code and robots are going to be the next big frontier for crimes big and small.

If you are looking for a turkey for Thanksgiving or just to eat for any reason, Amazon Fresh is selling them pretty darn cheap right now. Plus they have bone in hams for about the same price.

When they decide to start deporting "illegal" immigrants what is going to be defined as illegal? It could be a wide net. Asylum seekers and those who got work permits? Are they going to try and cancel school visas, etc too? Not sure we have truly heard what they will define as illegal.

You are up to date.
