It takes no imagination to consider how Trump would use the new authority he'd get from the House GOP slush fund bill to threaten and bully states across the country—you do what he says or he blows up your entire state budget. I will vote NO.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Our own @therickwilson.bsky.social hits the nail on the head: Trump is not “making deals” or “playing chess”, he’s just an idiot. Watch the LP Podcast to hear more: apple.co/3eq7OHy

Despite what Elon Musk says—Social Security is NOT a Ponzi Scheme. Social Security is a PROMISE that the American people should be able to count on after paying into it their entire lives. Repost if you agree.

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense. This is a growing national security risk.

Yes, this really happened. If you've been paying attention, you've seen it. You may even be a victim of voter suppression yourself. This needs to be exposed on every level. @gregpalast.bsky.social is the go-to on this issue; he's been investigating this for a very long time. youtu.be/w3Vm_D9xl50

Want to know what a federal funding freeze does? It takes money from families that just lost their home in a wildfire. It takes resources away from vets. It leaves 72M Americans without access to healthcare. Trump, Elon, & their billionaire buddies laugh their way to the bank while Americans suffer.

do you enjoy knowing that when you deposit money in a US bank, you won't lose that money? nice, right? it's because bank deposits are insured by FDIC. i don't know what FDIC ever did to these people, but apparently it too is now on their blow-it-up list: www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Trump politicized CA wildfire relief, blaming state policies & name-calling politicians. This has happened before: in 2020 Trump denied Fmr. WA Gov. Jay Inslee’s request for aid for the last 4 months of his administration after a devastating wildfire in WA. He joins me @10aET on #Velshi
