America is broken. Your leaders have mostly lost their way. Their word is not a bond, worth less than paper it's on Breaking treaties, breaking your own laws. Supporting fascists over friends, allowing the richest to buy elections as huge chunks of your media & governmental leaders lie to u. Broken

Imagine telling struggling families there’s no money for food assistance, then sweetening tax incentives that can help finance giant rural data centers. Trump’s priorities couldn’t be clearer. Who asked for this bargain, exactly? #RepublicansLoveDataCenters #Pinks ⭐️

Signed in September. Waived in October. Putin never even felt the breeze. If the law let the president waive the penalties with a one-line certification, and he did it a month later without explaining why, what exactly was signing it for? #Russia #Sanctions #Ukraine #GrahamAct sketchyrepublic.com

Democracy works better once we’ve filtered out the voters. If the DOJ’s list of 20,000 “likely noncitizens” is solid, why did it arrive three weeks before Election Day with a 48-hour deadline, and if it isn’t, who pays when real voters get caught in it? sketchyrepublic.com #Election2026 #California

I read this somewhere: Blue needs to destroy the GOP in Nov. Then probably spend Nov-Jan defending the victory. Then we must ensure New Blue holds feet to the fire. They may want swift return to Biz as Usual after talking to PAC and Corporate slime. More of the same will net more of the same. ✌️💙

I want to hear less about the polls and more about the consequences. The media should be focused on what the next 2 years will look like if Trump continues to be unchecked by Congress.

"I never saw anyone fight so hard for his country than Volodmyr Zelenskyy, and I never saw anyone betray his country so openly as Donald Trump." -Lindsay W/Threads Zelenskyy was willing to sacrifice himself to save his country. Trump sacrificed his country to save himself. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. The seventh richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Neil Bush: “I see in [James Talarico] the qualities I admire most in public servants: integrity, civility, humility, and a willingness to listen to those with whom he disagrees... a principled, pragmatic leader who understands public office is a responsibility to serve, not an entitlement to power.”

The US now has >80k public EV charging stations. While growth has slowed due lack of incentives & to slowed Tesla network growth, the new chargers being added are faster. Tesla remains the largest single network, but now has <50% of all chargers deployed. 🧪💡🔌☀️💨💧🔋 insideevs.com/news/811678/...

We're smart, but are we wise? We've developed extraordinary technologies, transformed our societies and reshaped the world around us. We have the intelligence but do we have the wisdom to change the world for the better?

I would ask can somebody explain this..But I actually don’t want to know the answer, what I do know is JD Vance and Trump fought hard to bring this guy and his brother to America. And this one doesn’t even mention the “filming with a child” sick sick guys

Brad Boo sings “How Much is Enough” depicting trump EXACTLY as he is! So hilariously true 😂 I’m not a country fan, but this song speaks volumes! 💙

“A matter of life and death… premiums already going up… people rolling the dice, choosing not to be insured… waiting longer to seek care…” Blood on the hands of Trump and his Congressional Republican accomplices.

Keller: "We dreamed that we could sideline a core national industry without undermining national unity or sapping our ability to fund social programs." Did we? Because I seem to remember taxpayers funding the most important pipeline for the oil industry and its profitability in decades.

Nine years later, this same fight is not over. There is still ongoing litigation stemming from the same concerns: the shutdown of a pipeline that desecrated sacred sites in its construction and continues to operate illegally without proper permits or a full Environmental Impact Statement.
