Surely I’m not the only person who struggles to understand a word he says…? I’ve known several men like him, who just don’t enunciate, not because of a speech issue - just to ramble along with full confidence, incoherently. I figure the less they think we comprehend, the more they get away with.

⚡️NEW: In Tennessee, Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social has introduced the “STOP AMERICAN GESTAPO ACT” — requiring law enforcement not to wear masks, and to ID themselves. As Blackburn, Johnson, Sexton and the GOP try to codify masked vigilantism, Jones moves to ban it to protect the public.

Hot take: Not only are work requirements for Medicaid bad, tying health care to work at all is cruel and we should be doing it less not more. Everyone deserves health care. Everyone.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years. Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

Coming out of a bit of a news break whilst in L.A. and this is quite the hard re-entry: the president of Ukraine being lectured like a child by the U.S. president and vice president who want to steal his natural resources and hand chunks of his country to Putin. I have never been so embarrassed.

Fully agree, this was an ambush. A setup. A carefully planned, tricky attack. Note trump near the end saying “This is going to make GREAT TV”… 🤬🤮 I’m still completely horrified… #standwithUkraine 🇺🇦

The rush to destroy things like USAID and other agencies before lawsuits can stop them is to make it moot. When our stupidly slow judicial system finally moves to stop them it will be far too late. If all 10,000 USAID employees are home and projects abandoned it’s done. It’s evil.

Those of you in NC are probably already aware of the multiple election recounts & challenges carried out by Republican Jefferson Griffin, who after 3 counts, has clearly lost to incumbent Justice Allison Riggs. A trump-appointed judge is now sending the challenge to the state Supreme Court…

for help from Helene in NC alone. Of those, so far, only 137 received offers, totaling $7,482,300. As of mid-December, $4,437,641 had been distributed to 115 storm victims.” The NCGOP intentionally neglected WNC, & before even taking office…

News 13 met with another spokesperson, Brian Frydenborg, in Asheville, who also said that it's important for those impacted by Helene to get in an application now in the hope that funds will be available soon. News 13 also learned that the SBA received more than 10,000 applications

Alisha B. @ali-avl.bsky.social · 19/12/2024

from Congress, the SBA cannot make new offers for its direct, low-interest, long-term disaster loans to survivors. SBA still encourages individuals and small businesses to continue to apply for loans so they can receive funding as soon as possible once Congress appropriates funding.

(my local news channel) that confirms federal funding to support WNC small businesses ran out less than only THREE weeks post-Helene. This is just yet one more massive, unnecessary setback for struggling WNC communities.”Yes, funds were exhausted as of Oct. 15, 2024 & without additional funding

“What we ought to do is just do a simple CR with a very simple, small amount of disaster supplemental for the people in tents in North Carolina. And that’s it. That’s what we were talking about doing.” This comes just prior to a WLOS ABC 13 report released this evening
