Just saw an ad for Paxton on MSNOW, paid for by a misguided PAC, which spoke about his work on keeping Texas children safe from traffickers. This is the same Paxton who also got a convicted pedophile released. Not the best use of PAC money for an ad for Paxton, IMO.

Why is it that we NEVER learn from the past? And now that the Department of Education is being decimated we never will. Thanks, Republicans. Vote BLUE. The future of our country depends on it!

Got my flu shot yesterday like I have been doing for decades. So far I have never gotten the flu since receiving the shot. That's a long time! This time my arm was a little sore, but it's already subsided. I'd rather have a sore arm for a bit than the flu. Next up, COVID. I don't take them together.

Remember the last jobs numbers the Republicans all crowed about? Typical of this admin, the numbers turned out to be exaggerated - again. On top of this last reported dismal jobs number, previous numbers were adjusted down. But Republicans still parrot their Leader saying it's a great economy!

I don't recall ever hearing that the very first attack on Iran to take out their uranium stockpiles also included drug factories in those same sites as well. Am I mistaken or is DJT throwing out more BS?

Barry Hochberg @barry-hochberg.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

So Republicans are claiming on X that Senate Dems voted AGAINST the bill to stop Congress from stock trading. Of course they NEGLECT to mention the piece the House added on Voter ID, which will never pass on it's own or as part of another bill. Leave it to the sycophants to tell a half truth!

$500 is nowhere near anything promised, but isn't it funny it took until close to the midterms to be sent? Does he think that's going to convince people to vote Republican? Don't be fooled. VOTE BLUE in November! www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Trump to begin sending $500 ACA refund checks to 1 million Americans

Nearly 1 million Americans will begin receiving $500 Obamacare refund checks on Sept. 30, along with letters signed by President Donald Trump.

Saw this on Facebook and couldn't resist posting it here.

Jack Smith's hearing is going as expected. Republicans are sycophantic, belligerent & protective of their Dear Leader (& themselves), like last time. Democrats are sticking up for Smith, his investigation & team. Republicans are looking for any excuse to try to prosecute Smith. A waste of time.

I didn't think about this when I first heard it. These details are alarming. While Republicans are so worried about the rare trans male in women's sports, they decide to NOT allow for these studies that many women go for. Guess women should stay home, barefoot and pregnant! The hypocrisy of it all.

Barry Hochberg @barry-hochberg.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Funny how Republicans are suddenly saying the (still unsanctioned & expensive) war in Iran should be stopped. Didn't they have plenty of opportunities to do just that with a vote? They voted NO. Every. Single. Time. Do NOT forget that. They will be just as sycophantic as before. Vote BLUE!

Barry Hochberg @barry-hochberg.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

So Justice Alito is actually recusing himself from an upcoming case due to having market shares in affected companies. Now if only Justice Thomas had done the same for the gifts he received (and forgot to properly document) from people who had cases brought before SCOTUS afterward.

Barry Hochberg @barry-hochberg.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

But Republicans are so good for Texans. At least according to those Republicans who have led the state down for the past 20+ years.

Barry Hochberg @barry-hochberg.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Funny how Republicans have nothing to say even on that ridiculous ad for Trump, illegally paid for by the taxpayers. Imagine if any Democrat had tried that! Let alone the lie saying we won't be Communist while he, himself, seems to be embracing it fully!

The stupidity of MAGA in a nutshell.

Barry Hochberg @barry-hochberg.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Johnson is one useless Speaker, isn't he?

000

Barry Hochberg @barry-hochberg.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Many Republicans are speaking against the (unsanctioned) war and the price of gas now. Didn't they cause it by not telling their Leader NO? Didn't they cause it by voting the way they did. Or NOT voting to stop the war? Do they think we'll let it go? We know they'll be sycophants again. VOTE BLUE!

Barry Hochberg @barry-hochberg.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

So DJT lost again in court. I assume the White House press pool will now be filled again. Not that I want to hear or see DJT more. I'm not a cult member...

Barry Hochberg @barry-hochberg.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Republicans are saying Democrats want to assassinate Trump, but I guarantee they will say nothing about this NH Libertarian Party's post, right?

000

Barry Hochberg @barry-hochberg.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Just saw something about Trump looking to get his name on Fords Theater where Lincoln was shot. I guess he's moving on from the JFK because the theater is actually NOT named for Gerald Ford! All kidding aside, what the fuck is wrong with this man?

Barry Hochberg @barry-hochberg.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

How f'ing phony is this? After giving DJT everything he wants and now finding voters are not happy, he changes his website. Does he think Floridians are that stupid? Well, maybe some MAGA are! And others doing similar will guarantee go back to sycophancy if re-elected. VOTE DEMOCRAT! Not phonies.

I couldn't have said it better myself. It applies to all religions.

Barry Hochberg @barry-hochberg.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

So Vance called Democrats the "fart left." I'd rather be part of that than the "turd reich!"

Barry Hochberg @barry-hochberg.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Funny how the correct thing was done previously.

Barry Hochberg @barry-hochberg.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

So negativity is now considered propaganda. Good to know they won't have their cult leader change his corrupt presidenting to something Americans can afford to live with!

000

Barry Hochberg @barry-hochberg.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Amazing how that's worked out, isn't it?

000

Barry Hochberg @barry-hochberg.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Autocrats will Autocrat. What could possibly go wrong with a state run media outlet...?

000

Barry Hochberg @barry-hochberg.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

But we shouldn't be making these kinds of comparisons, right?

Barry Hochberg @barry-hochberg.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Good to see the other news outlets are not covering the Big Baby in solidarity with the networks he's banned. This was going to be big week. Going to the UN, meeting with Xi Jinping. It's a shame we won't be seeing much of how he embarrasses himself and our country to the world...

Barry Hochberg @barry-hochberg.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

The big news out of Texas, with the harshest abortion laws, is the increase in pregnant women's deaths. Republicans are NOT pro-life. If they were, the life of the mother would matter just as much as the unborn child. They should be called pro-BIRTH. That's all they care about; nothing after that!

Barry Hochberg @barry-hochberg.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

I see there's been progress on the ballroom. Although I'm not sure why it has such a high price tag!

000

Barry Hochberg @barry-hochberg.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Typical DJT hypocrisy while he lines HIS and his family's pockets while the rest of us suffer. That's why we MUST win the majority in Congress in November and remove the enabling sycophants who turn a blind eye to the open corruption.

Barry Hochberg @barry-hochberg.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Should be sent to everyone, especially those with the "(R)" designation beside their names.

000

Barry Hochberg @barry-hochberg.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Too bad most of the news is owned by rich Republicans who won't do that.

000

Barry Hochberg @barry-hochberg.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

And to think they've been paid their full salaries and benefits. But when average Americans look for something they quickly vote it down. This Congress has to be worse than the "Do Nothing" Republican Congress under Truman!

000

Barry Hochberg @barry-hochberg.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Yes, he did, but he had the help of the entire spineless, sycophantic Republican party. Remember that in November.

000

Barry Hochberg @barry-hochberg.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

How does the big baby think he can override a performance center created by an act of Congress? Oh, wait...I forgot the spineless sycophants that are the Republican party and his handpicked sycophants on the center's board...

000

Barry Hochberg @barry-hochberg.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Rather than a vote on impeaching Hegseth, the Spineless Speaker of the House sent everyone home. Again. No surprise there. But why are we forced to pay FULL salaries and benefits (among other things) for people working LESS than part time? That wouldn't fly in the private sector they so love!
