Uber surge pricing is just wrong. Why should my $8 ride this morning cost me $42 this afternoon? Fast food restaurants don’t surge price at dinner. ERs don’t surge price during peak times. It’s crazy.

When the system protects pedophiles instead of children, it’s not broken—it’s complicit. You can’t claim to defend children while defending predators. From churches to courts to Congress, too many protect the powerful instead of the vulnerable. That’s not morality—it’s evil. #DefendersofDemocracy

Go @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social ! Your magic minute is beyond amazing. Thank you and the Democratic caucus for standing up for everyday Americans!

“This is economic malpractice” Richard Haas on @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social

Castro: "The idea that this information, if it was presented to our committee, would not be classified, you all know is a lie. That's ridiculous."

If Pete Hegseth’s DOD is now a meritocracy, he should be fired. He failed!

Great post by @schiff.senate.gov Keep them coming. youtu.be/0diA8ral_34?...

The Trump voters who are experiencing layoffs and higher prices under his administration have a scapegoat— Elon Musk. Now we tie Elon to Trump. Link them together. Don’t let one get away from the other. DOGE is Trump. Elon is Trump. Layoffs are Trump. Grocery prices are Trump. It’s all Trump.

Did you know that Musk pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $170K a year? Raise the SS cap to be commensurate with income thus protecting SS for Americans.

Trump has fired more veterans than any other President. And we’re only 6 weeks in.

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

I am so thankful that @chrismurphyct.bsky.social is my Senator. You are the opposition telling the truth and challenging your Republican colleagues to be accountable. youtu.be/ud0OTYq_BAk?...

@joe-scarborough.bsky.social seems so flummoxed this morning, and poor @mika-brzezinski.bsky.social seems completely dejected. I feel their pain. @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social

I don’t know who did this, but thank you 🤣

Kudos to Senators @maziehirono.bsky.social and Tim Kaine for their amazing questioning of Pete Hegseth to hold him accountable to his actions and statements. Pete is unfit for Secretary of DoD.

BREAKING: Senate confirms President Biden's 235th judicial nominee, surpassing the number of federal judges confirmed during Trump's first term in office. The last confirmation was Serena Murillo to be a District Judge for the Central District of California. alert link

Trump’s pronouncement that “Congress must get rid of, or extend out to, perhaps, 2029, the ridiculous Debt Ceiling” in insane especially coming from a “successful businessman”. Who would run a company that allows for limitless spending and debt?

Jeffries: In our nation's history, 25% of our nation's debt was accumulated during the four years of the former president, 25%. How dare you lecture America about fiscal responsibility ever.

Jeffries: "We've seen repeatedly amongst my extreme MAGA Republican colleagues that they say one thing to the American people before the election and then do something different after the election. House Republicans said they were gonna protect Social Security and Medicare ... "

Here’s my theory. The DOGE cmte makes reccs to Trump for cuts and that is the impoundment list. Here’s our explainer on impoundments. People should get smart on this, fast. protectdemocracy.org/work/impound...

If you're more upset with Biden being forced to consider the extraordinary step of peremptorily pardoning his own officials then you are about Trump appointing someone who’s promised to use the federal govt to exact personal retribution for Trump, then you need to think a little more critically.

Mass deportation has real impact on disabled and elderly Americans.

Hi. It's not normal for a nominee to be Director of the FBI to have his own personal hit list of people he wants to take revenge on using the power of the fed'l govt. Do not confirm.

Trump pardoned Roger Stone, Steve Bannon, Michael Flynn and Paul Manafort, as well as his son-in-law’s father, Charles Kushner—who he just appointed as US ambassador to France. Sorry, but President Biden was right to pardon his son Hunter in order to protect him against Kash Patel’s weaponized FBI.

“Cacistocracy: government by the absolute least competent to run government, the most ill qualified.” A new word we need to get used to thanks to Trump (from Deep State Radio)

Really doing a great job draining the swamp. #cronyism

“‘I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth.’” www.nytimes.com/2024/11/29/u...

EVERY. WORD. OF. THIS.

Rampell: If you voted for Trump because you thought he was going to bring grocery prices down, I have some very bad news for you. A lot of our produce comes from Mexico. Two thirds of the tomatoes that Americans purchase are from Mexico…

A really excellent piece worth reading.

EXACTLY THIS 📢 “How do democracies die? They die slowly because the masses aren’t paying attention… until, when they notice, it’s too late.” “What is the first rule of not allowing authoritarianism? Do not obey in advance… do not acquiesce.” @tarasetmayer.bsky.social

Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Education, Linda McMahon, everybody…

They will build the first camps in Texas. Sound familiar?

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting. Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

not a landslide
