Trump has a master plan for his Tariffs! Trump isn't an idiot or moron who's accidentally hurting so many people ... The reality is that he knows he's hurting ppl, even his supporters, BUT HE JUST DOESN'T CARE! Because he's the one raping & pillaging our economy & Country. Feel free to share this;

Trump wants to use tariffs to tax US citizens w/out a legitimate tax bill. Tariff $$'s go into the Treasury & then can be used in Sovereign Wealth Fund (EO Feb 3rd). Discretionary funds HE would control/invest, Instead of paying down debt. @michaelslinden.bsky.social tinyurl.com/y9k2ju8d

As usual, we have to remember the fine art of projection mixed with a healthy dose of duplicity; Trump meant he was happy to be liberating us from our 401K's and other investments!

Happy Liberation Day to all who celebrate the release of money from your retirement accounts into thin air.

Fox News propagandists are saying they aren't looking at their 401K's, and not to panic because a 'boom' is coming... That feels a lot like the 'light at the end of the tunnel' - it's really the headlamp of an on-coming train! I wonder how many Fox employees sold 'FOX' today?!

"The hospitalized children with the (Vit 'A') toxicity were all unvaccinated." "US HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy has centered his response to the outbreak on vitamin A, even suggesting in a Fox News interview that it could work “as a prophylaxis.”" Ignorance is dangerous! tinyurl.com/yj4a7xsy

America loves Gov. Tim Walz! Walz was enthusiastically welcomed by thousands in Fort Bend County — a diverse, fast-growing area of Houston, Texas. Former U.S. Rep. Beto O'Rourke also brought big energy and excitement to the rally, speaking about the future of the Democratic party, and…

What I might add regarding choosing leaders; TRump & R's have been attacking the intelligent, thoughtful & articulate as elitist & to resent them as though being smart means you aren't 'one of us'. We should ALL want leaders who are more ethical, smarter & more capable than us & worthy of trust!

Musk & DOGE have been lying & caught making errors in their 'transparency', now removing errors and making them harder to find... David Fahrenthold @fahrenthold.bsky.social makes it easy to understand how hard they are trying to baffle us with BS! @us-political-news.bsky.social @lastword.msnbc.com

It only appears to be a 'stupid coup'. The authors of Project 2025, & those who support it, are quite clever & have planned its implementation for years. The 'stupid' perception is because TRump is a bumbling bombastic puppet, but he's still signing, ordering & doing everything they want!

Wow, He's really following the NAZI playbook; Exaggerate, make ppl afraid & that you're the only solution, Check the ad during the speech; Hitler stopped most higher Educ & started pro-Hitler NAZI propaganda to school kids. "Free Kids Guide to TRump?" Indoctrination?! Please be afraid of this...

Oz is crazy! So because we can't find "..a nurse who will work in a nursing home", we end the requirement?! Tele-medicine or a Virtual Nurse can't hand out patient meds, & can't help during a 'Code-Blue' or other emergencies! Nursing homes w/o nurses; Sounds deadly..! @muellershewrote.bsky.social

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.gov

Dr. Oz, nominated by Trump to head up Medicare and Medicaid, is all in on the plan to take nurses out of nursing homes.

'Alien Enemies Act'? Wow, who would've thought the US would be the place that NAZI Concentration camps or Japanese Internment camps would be implemented? To ALL my Repub friends out there; Are you beginning to see that THIS IS NOT US? As a nation, we risk losing everything, including our humanity!

He claimed it would cause a crash, but would've been caused by the R's & TRump. The Mrkt is already crashing, so Dems voting against that crazy & destructive bill would've been seen as a rational effort to stop the madness! Now the Dems look complicit! @schumer.senate.gov is making a Big mistake!

Musk thinks that everything can be run with AI. Trump already spoke about 500 billion for a data center. Balaji was a rising star with OpenAI. He quit and did an interview with the New York Times. He thought they were going to violate copyright laws and use it to harm society. He is dead.

Walz: I think they hate public education because it’s easier to run an authoritarian government if you don’t have a population that knows.

The tense one-hour debate in Milwaukee between liberal judge Susan Crawford and conservative judge Brad Schimel focused in large part on reproductive rights and the millions of dollars being spent on the race by high-profile billionaires in what's technically a nonpartisan election.

With all that's going on, they remove yet another layer of protections required for safe air travel?! Since there probably isn't a billionaire w/financial interests in bomb sniffing dogs, perhaps this is the beginning of privatizing the TSA. Put our lives in the hands of the lowest bidder?!

He's dynamic & easily gets you fired up with plain spoken & a little 'in-your-face' type common sense - something missing & long overdue in our politics. As such, I think they were afraid he would outshine Harris... (and maybe offend a few ppl that pretty much get offended at everything...)

Two Republican senators told me tonight this vote shows they can execute the same strategy again — cut Democrats out of the negotiations on a gov’t funding bill, pass it thru the House, and expect Senate Dems to back down and not filibuster it. “We liked it over here,” one said.

Those that hate the Educ Dept don't understand 2 things; what it does for ur kids & what it'd be like w/out it; Can you afford college w/o grants? Increased Prop Tax for schools? Chk this Doc to see what it provides & what you will lose- Never appreciate until its gone! www.ed.gov/sites/ed/fil...

Not just surreal for our country, but for the entire planet! In essence, 77,302,580 people in 1 country voted & now the rest of the world will be changed forever; ours & other Democracies may die.. And for all the voters who said 'both are bad' & didn't vote, is the difference clear to you yet?!
