Progressive populist. Govt needs to be cleaned up but not at all like this.

Not even counting Medicare Part A, close to half our entire budget goes to medical related programs but we DON'T negotiate prices and we DON'T foster a national system to even know what real costs actually are. There’s no desire to fix this because our politicians are bought and paid for.

Social Security would be solvent through the next 75 year viewing window if we did two things: 1) remove the income cap for paying in, and 2) limit the amount coming out to the paid in amount only for those making more than ~$250k from other sources. Really.

in FY24, we spent 27.6% of US revenues (ex SS and Med-A which have their own rev sources) on INTEREST alone. We had a $1.8 Trillion deficit and same in 2025. If Trump doesn't kill us the interest will.

After-tax money market and savings rates net you less than inflation. You lose purchasing power every year. Rates should be higher, not lower if we want people to save since social security is going broke.

Every post in my "for you" channel on X is highly incomplete info about the Save Act. The Reds have their marching orders. Nothing but lies and half-truths at best.

Truly obscene. Every member of Congress who takes their oath to the Constitution seriously should be seeking him impeachment now. He proves once again, he is the greatest threat America faces.

Trump: "The story was knowingly FAKE and you can say those Media Outlets that generated it should be brought up on Charges for TREASON for dissemination of false information! ... I am so thrilled to see Carr looking at the licenses of some of these Corrupt & Highly Unpatriotic 'News' Organizations."

Can @govpritzker.illinois.gov, @mcuban.bsky.social, Rep Massie and Khanna help our nation get some energy behind killing Citizens United and installing Term Limits for Congress and the Courts? Please, please, please.

despite extraordinarily stiff competition from the Roberts Court, Citizens United keeps its place as one of the most damaging Supreme Court decisions of all time

The Times study found that “300 billionaires and their immediate family members donated more than $3 billion — 19 percent of all contributions — in federal elections in 2024, either directly or through political action committees.”

Trump list -nominate fools to cabinet -ruin economy -run multiple grifts -pardon unrepentant criminals -lie incessantly -kill Americans -kill Venezuela and Iranian civilians -ruin Ally relationships -create stupid tariff plan that backfires -run huge deficits -massively increase waste, fraud, abuse

Exactly this. Everyone manipulates or pays off the clown.

Benjamin Netanyahu played Dufus Trump like a well worn guitar! But then Trump is a jackass anyway. We are now fighting Israel’s war against Arabs.

After 30+ years, thousands of lives and trillions of wasted dollars, most Americans know this much. Stay the hell out of the Middle East. Watching the most delusional and incompetent administration in our lifetimes try to convince us otherwise, would be comical if it wasn’t dangerous.

Iran’s threat was not so imminent that Trump could not first go to Congress. Fact. He authorized the strike because he and his team are incapable negotiators, and he has a short attention span. Fact.

It’s staggering how much American capital has been spent on military actions in the last year, including actions against American citizens.

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.

Get angry at the fascist’s enablers. Get pissed off at every college, university, law firm, media company, tech billionaire, bank CEO, Republican elected official, government official, and private individual who caved to the fascist. They’re to blame. He couldn’t be a fascist without them.

It’s been clear for months that this administration is ten times the threat to the First Amendment that “wokeism” ever was. If this doesn’t wake the fuck up all the comedy podcast bros, nothing will.

MAGA now celebrates cancel culture, promotes safe spaces for conservatives, believes free speech should be curtailed, and thinks words encourage violence. Exact opposite of all their positions. Its almost as if they're bad faith hypocrites who want power by any means necessary.

MAGA, your states are the biggest users of wind energy. Cut that off and your energy costs triple. Perhaps you should quit falling for Trump's stupid and entirely wrong beliefs like this, and tariffs, and speak up.

Lotta red states strongly disagree with Trump about wind power www.statista.com/statistics/1...

Just wondering, what does Katie Miller feel about being married to someone who will forever be compared to Hitler's minister of propaganda Joseph Goebbels? What will she tell her children when they grow up and learn that the majority of people in the world think their father is a 21st century Nazi.

@abcnews @CBSNews @NBCNews why can't you say that trump's texts are delusional, his speeches are nonsensical, his answers are factually incorrect, and his economic theories are absurd and misinformed? Every day he gives you the opportunity to say this.

This is what autocrats say and do. Some threats he intends to carry out, others are just meant to intimidate to produce a change in behavior caused by fear. Every day we move closer to autocracy. Who will be fearless & fight, who will ignore it and hide, & who will bend the knee?

Yeah JD, we remember. We will never forget your boss was best friends with the guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring. And then that guy was "silenced" forever. And now we will just not talk about anything else until they... #ReleaseThe_EPSTEIN_Files

Inslee: If you need more energy, the dumbest thing you can do is disallow access to wind, solar, and advanced batteries—three of the most productive ways of producing new energy. And yet, that’s exactly what he’s done.

You know why trump still has support? It’s because the blue side still wants to give participation trophies and nobody believes they will be tough and independent when it’s necessary to create real change. Show me a blue fighter who doesn’t take any shit (or payoffs) and then we can win.

This is the wealthiest nation in history. Instead of making sure everyone has food, shelter, & healthcare, WE ARE FLYING A CHILD RAPIST WHO WE PAY TO HIS GOLF COURSE WITH A COTERIE OF BODYGUARDS WHO WE ALSO PAY. And we let him take bribes. #RemoveTrump Call your Reps. 1-202-224-3121
