Remembering Santa Elena Canyon Big Bend National Park . Photo taken near the end of March 2022 when the Rio Grande was barely visible due to extreme drought conditions . But those magnificent 1500’ walls were in their glory - Mexico on the left ,US on the right

As someone who lives in Texas , I’m happy to see Talarico running for Senate. As much as I like Congress woman Crockett , I’m worried these two will split the bid for senate & once again lead people to not vote in the November election, if their candidate doesn’t win the primary

The court’s ruling will mark the greatest expansion of presidential power since the New Deal and it will be handing over that power not just to any president, but to one who has almost exclusively used his existing authority for a wide range of corrupt & self-serving purposes. By @mattford.media

No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

If you don’t know by now, it’s not immigrants stealing Americans’ Social Security, healthcare, retirement funds…it’s Trump’s Republicans. Please take action whether protesting in the streets, writing your Senator/Rep., putting up anti-fascism signs. Be visible and oppose fascism #Voices4Victory

It may seem like Trump has the upper hand, but it only seems that way. China is our banker: 📌 Holds $759B in U.S. Treasuries 📌 Owns 2.1% of total U.S. debt ($36.22T) 📌 Has spent $350B+ on U.S. real estate over the past decade

👀 I wonder what happened . Rich billionaires buying stock at bargain basement prices.

US markets have rallied way back into positive territory on limited news.

Yes, The Trump Regime are morons. All of them. Every last one of them. Don't forget they use SIGNAL, an app run by a 501c3 non-profit. You know....these guys....plus the engineers, programmers.......etc. etc. etc. "Amateur hour" doesn't seem to quite cut it for a description.

Members of Congress exploded in anger after the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic revealed he was inadvertently included in a Trump administration Signal chat on airstrikes in Yemen. "This is an outrageous national security breach and heads should roll."

BREAKING: A memo leaked revealing that Trump is planning to sabotage the Social Security Administration. His plan would gut the agency’s claims process, potentially preventing millions of Americans from getting their earned benefits.

Literally no one

If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.

Welcome to autocracy. The Republic we have known for the last 240 years is gone. This is going to keep getting worse. Much worse. The courts mean nothing, the law means nothing, Congress is irrelevant. He is a malignant psychopath.

Beyond disgraceful. My incredibly proud Mexican-American father, uncle, sister and brother served with honor and distinction. My uncle has since died of Covid under Trump’s watch, doubling the horror. This monster is trying to break us. He’s only making us stronger in our resolve to fight. 😠✊🏽

ICYMI: “Arlington National Cemetery has scrubbed information about prominent Black, Hispanic and female service members and topics such as the Civil War from its website”…in order “to remove all references to diversity, equity and inclusion from its online presence.”

Thank you for posting this, I was born in 1966, I remember the crying Indian commercial. We changed for the better to protect US All. EPA’s a standard to uphold. Trumpism is all about destroying America, in Every way possible, trump & musk are sell outs to war criminals @interpol.int @democrats.org

Generations born after 1970 have no collective memory of a time before the EPA and Endangered Species Act were enacted. Well you're gonna get a chance to experience it. Voting has consequences. Only a populace laden with imbeciles would want this. EPA rollback of dozens of environmental regulations.

If you start writing down names every time Democrats collude with our oppressors, you’ll see a pattern with certain names. And they’re from blue states who could choose anyone yet keep electing these fucking losers. Don’t talk to me about what red states deserve.

Hey John @fetterman.senate.gov, Get your fucking head out of your ass and stop being an ignorant jag off. Everything the Republican Party is doing is destroying this country. Do I really have to tell you not to help them? Eat a Snickers and wake the fuck up.

The Republican budget is a slap in the face to every veteran who's ever served. Cutting $23 billion from PACT Act funding will leave thousands without access to life-saving care. This assault on our veterans is unconscionable. Fight for our veterans! ☎️ your MoC! #RepublicanCutsHurtVeterans

Republicans can’t credibly call themselves patriots while betraying the veterans who put their lives on the line for this country! They’re slashing VA healthcare to give tax cuts to billionaires like Elon Musk. Republican Cuts Hurt Veterans

Sounds like Trump’s team spent a lot of the day trying to placate panicked GOP members of Congress. Republicans are freaking out about the market, a potential recession, and midterms. Ray Charles could have seen this coming.

Senator Kelly responds to Elon Musk

Yashar Ali 🐘@yasharali.bsky.social

“You are a traitor.” An absurd and insulting thing to say to anyone who posts what Senator Kelly did. And even more insulting since he served as a U.S. Navy captain and a NASA astronaut. Kelly was a combat pilot and flew 39 combat missions during Operation Desert Storm in the Gulf War.

Seriously this is even a consideration?

The Iowa GOP advanced a bill making it a misdemeanor for a healthcare provider to administer a Covid vaccine. Even when a person has requested a Covid vaccine.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?
