@schumer.senate.gov has never had to struggle for health insurance or for food. As a standalone negotiation, the ACA extensions are dead on arrival. People under HIS direction went rogue and that's on Chuck. If you can't whip votes in your own caucus, you're not a leader, you're a problem.

Fox, OANN, and NewMax will report that something else is going on. Until the propaganda is addressed, we will keep losing. Whether Biden should have dropped out, or ANY other damned thing will not and does not matter. The propaganda reigning over us is THEE problem.

The "I'll lower costs and get us out of endless wars" candidate is now presiding over surging costs and brand new wars.

NYT: “If you saw all this in any other country — soldiers sent to crush dissent, union leaders arrested, opposition politicians threatened — it would be clear that autocracy had arrived.” 😳🇺🇸 www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/o...

Of course they are using Signal. Signal is great, but not for this purpose. They are using it because they want to operate off book. There will be no oversight. There will be no documentation. There will never be accountability. By design.

In this moment, in his economy, if you aren’t shorting $TSLA, you’re missing that golden opportunity. Fascism and Naziism aren’t popular. Not here in the U.S., nor abroad.

It’s long past time for the psychological community to lead on undoing Trump’s mass delusion. His fans are tied to him like children. Bad mouth Trump and you bad mouth them. A criticism of Trump is a personal affront to them. Lead the way experts. Help break the trance. I see vets support Trump.

Tune in tomorrow! Propagandist Jennings will explain how this didn’t happen; it if did it’s not that bad; and everyone does it.

CNN@cnn.com

A member of Russia’s state-owned news agency gained access to the Oval Office for President Trump’s sit-down with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky – even as the AP and Reuters were barred from the high-level meeting.

@kyivindependent.com The American people not living up Trump’s ass do see what’s going on. This was orchestrated to create anti-Ukraine sentiment among his base. He’s such a fucking asshole. He’s either extorting the minerals or bowing out and letting Putin roll. We don’t help folks anymore. We suck

I’m sorry. Us normal Americans see this for the objectively offensive bullshit that it is. We know you can’t trust us, nor should you. This message came from the President of the United States. I think it’s fair to say we’re swirling the toilet bowl. Don’t let this dictator enslave us.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Complete batshit lunacy on the president's Truth Social account. Yes, he really posted this.

Harkening back to, Trump won the popular vote if you don’t count California; It obviously should be the Gulf America. We have the most coastline if you don’t count Mexico.

Has anyone else notice how horrible portions are at Qdoba? Want a bowl with chicken or some other meat? Good luck. It’s gonna be 6 pieces with a whole bowl of rice and beans. Want protein and energy? Eat something else. They will carbo load you with their cheapest ingredients. 👎 @Qdoba .

How can we shatter trumps alternate reality before we’re past the point of no return? I wish I felt like the right cared enough to care when others suffer. They’ve shown in the past they won’t care. They may even blame democrats for trumps dictatorial actions.

We always wondered how Germany let it happen. We’re witnessing it from the inside. The Right are installing a dictator and the opposing populace is basically powerless. I’d say, early on Germany wanted it too. They voted for him as well. Stay resilient friends. We can’t know what is to come.

Because having a felon who has declared he’ll be a dictator is not a Constitutional crisis? CNN has been asleep at the wheel.

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social

“🇺🇸 dangerously close to a constitutional crisis… federal judge says Trump is defying his order to unfreeze billions in federal aid…”

There’s no logical or thoughtful way to understand the insistence that DEI is a bad path. It is simply arrogance & white supremacy in action. White men can’t solve problems they don’t face or experience. We solve problems by bringing EVERYONE to the table. Any non-diverse board can’t lead well.

Erasing END RACSIM from end zones. NFL? Who’s that. You wanna see how little support your embrace of fascism gonna go? #BoycottNFL #BoycottSuperBowl #CTE #RacistOwners #RacistLeague

The truth is we have Russian operatives running around inside all our govt systems. The globe just took a hit. These assholes are thinking only of themselves. #BOYCOTTUS maybe the cult will wake up!

When you stare at your payroll deductions, remember to count your blessings and remain grateful for what you have. Think of this picture and those you’re helping by funding govt. I can’t for the life of me understand how the Church going GOP has become so hardened in selfishness. Think of others.

I certainly understand Canada's retaliation. It's apropos. Still sucks working for an company with Canadian bound exports and I did NOT vote for this deliberate firesale of USA.

Being Liberal ®🗽🏳️‍🌈@beingliberal.bsky.social

Turns out Trump’s “America First” strategy might end up being “Red States Last.” Canada and Mexico are making sure of that.

Do we even want to know what the right wing spin is right now? How do they sell these massive overreaches? The seizing of the federal purse strings from w/ the administrative bureaucracy there to carry out the House’s allocations needs to be stopped. The House is being entirely usurped. #autocracy

This right here is why the inspiring posts by AOC still miss the mark for me. Yes she’s not wrong. I can’t not see that the entire country is on fire, we do not have enough fireman and it inspire despair to see our elected a lay down like this. Sad part? We voted our freedoms away electing him.
