They didn’t vote for Trump to raise wages or expand healthcare or improve the standard of living in this country. They voted for him so that they could dunk on their enemies online. Don’t take my word for it. Take theirs.

Boyle: "This is really the breaking news ... because of the size of the deficits, because of the paygo act, that would trigger sequestration of Medicare, and it would total over $500 billion. The official figure that CBO confirms is $535 billion in cuts to Medicare."

So: Trump took further steps to ally w/Russia. He did grave damage to US economy with tariffs. The economy was already spiraling into a recession. & SCOTUS is on day five of letting US corporations go under bc the Trump Administration insists it can unilaterally renege on contracts after the fact.

Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy argues that his newfound push to oppose President Donald Trump is imperative for Democrats during an interview with NBC News.

Strong early Feb 2020 vibes in the air. Really seems like we’re about to experience a Covid re-run as if the same people weren’t in charge the first time.

Carville says what all the useless Dems are thinking “With no leader to voice our opposition and no control in any branch of government, it’s time for Democrats to embark on the most daring political maneuver in the history of our party: roll over and play dead.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/o...
