Here’s a thought: let’s put a 10-year moratorium on AI and data centers, and make the survival of our species the primary driver. In those 10 years, we could transition to renewable energy, mitigate the climate crisis, and solve world hunger. This would be better than where we’re heading right now.

Estimates of Russian deaths in the Ukraine war are approaching 500,000. In <5 years. And Russia has gained little. In fact, it’s losing territory that it had previously captured. Russia’s oil economy has been decimated. And Ukraine is now hitting Russian data centers, where the troll bots live.

Is there a word stronger than ironic to describe new DOJ charges against James Comey? Asinine, perhaps? Said charges refer to some of the same statutes that Jack Smith cited in his indictment against felon Don in the classified documents case.

If Ken Paxton becomes the next senator from Texas, is $400 million going to have been worth it? Maybe, but I have a feeling no amount of money is going to untarnish that reputation.

“Everyone involved in deportation, war, or trade policy.” Isn’t that interesting…those are the exact three areas where manifest criminality exists.

The ex-prez has remarkable powers of observation.

"[Donald Trump] has got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory." --Barack Obama

Marco Rubio, son of Cuban immigrants, found success in Florida politics and later the US Senate. He praised the American dream, and supported immigrants who did, as well. Ten years later, as SoS, he negotiated with El Salvador to send arrested migrants to the infamous CECOT prison. Helluva sell-out.

Taking nothing for granted, it seems likely that Dems will win the House. But they could actually take the Senate, as well, and that would be huge. Facts on the ground: ☑️ This is the most important election in our lifetimes ☑️ The 36% who didn’t vote in 2024 must vote now ☑️ We must stop Trump

No billionaire, especially one that gets massive contracts from our government, should have the power to unilaterally decide to shut down communications and weapons during a war of critical importance to the US and Ukraine. We must investigate this and hold Musk accountable.

Russia now reportedly has jet-powered drones, which recently they shot into apartment buildings, a college filled with students, and a playground/park area. Our felonious orange president called Putin a humanitarian. Out-fucking-rageous.😠

Nailed it. #AOC

“I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.” -- Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Sadly, 36% of eligible voters did not vote in the 2024 election. That’s the only reason the orange felon got elected. All of us MUST vote. It’s our civic duty. We can no longer take democracy for granted.

Senator Elizabeth Warren Is Correct.......

After the midterms, this is what the orange felon has in store for us: —Penalizing defaulting student loan borrowers —Further criminalization of abortion —New tariff rule that threatens access to cheaper (Canadian) prescription drugs —Renewing attacks on Iran (Source: Rachel Maddow)

Despite all of the orange felon’s actions to distract from and bury the Epstein files, they just keep roaring back into the news.

The reason why Trump is attacking Ukraine so much right now is because he is trying to distract the American people away from his failed war against Iran and the affordability crisis at home.

Anybody else pissed off about our felonious orange president aligning with a war criminal dictator who illegally attacked a peaceful democratic country?

Four brothers went to war against Hitler. Three were killed. The fourth survived, and his grandson, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is the president of Ukraine. Zelensky comes from a family that fought tyrants: Trump negotiates with them while demanding concessions from their victims.

“He (Trump) was the person most responsible for what happened at the Capitol, and that he caused what happened…and that it was foreseeable to him.”—Jack Smith, commenting on evidence that his team found that could be proved beyond a reasonable doubt

This is exactly what I want to hear from every elected Democrat.

WELKER: Do you believe Democrats should impeach President Trump should they take back the House? WARNOCK: Listen, Donald Trump is a crook. And he's gotta go. And the people who are enabling him, they all have to be held accountable.

When the orange felon is no longer president, and the Epstein files and Russian kompromat become public, everything he built or put his name on in attempts to burnish his legacy will be torn down. He will live in infamy, and when he dies, his funeral will be sparsely attended.

Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian data centers mean that Russia's centralized "sovereign internet" model has turned into a massive strategic vulnerability. And the botnets that make up huge percentages of Elon Musk and Donald Trump followers on social media have been compromised. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The orange felon said his now-fired press secretary should not have to take the treatment she’s received from the press. Isn’t the whole point of a press secretary the ability to stand up to and manage the press?

Ukraine has been so creative and resourceful in punishing its larger and richer enemy. Feels like they could appropriate copies of all the kompromat Russia has on the orange felon.

Ken Paxton is arguably the politician least deserving of anyone’s support. When a certain billionaire throws millions of dollars at his campaign, you can assume said billionaire knows that Paxton in a Senate role will play ball. And that, folks, is why you cannot vote for Paxton.

What people seem to be concerned about. Or looked at differently, these are the things people want their government to provide or resolve.

It will be so nice, at some future date, not to have to talk about the orange felon in the White House. I could wax poetic over the Tex-Mex paste I made from scratch. Or the new instrumental I wrote on guitar. Or show pictures of the foliage I took on my bike ride today. Just normal, boring stuff.

This one legislative action would not only be fair, but would represent a transfer of wealth that would liquidate Social Security virtually forever. And it wouldn’t change the lifestyles of the wealthy one iota.

The wealthiest in our country should pay their fair share into Social Security. Scrap the cap!
