The United States is now officially allied with Vladimir Putin and Russia. We will fund Russia’s genocidal war machine in exchange for Putin helping Trump and the Republican Party in the midterms. One of the most shameful and disgusting days in the history of this Republic.

it's a bit concerning that instead of responding to obvious political incentives and moderating on some of their worst and most unpopular policies, the Trump administration is getting more and more extreme

Your electric bill is up as much as 30%. PG&E's CEO took home $63.6 MILLION. Duke's CEO took home $51.2 MILLION. And both companies paid NEGATIVE federal tax rates. That's not a coincidence. That's a rigged system. Tax the rich.

As we close in on the midterms, a friendly reminder to check your voter registration status early and often, but ONLY on the state websites. Those third-party databases might be accurate, but you're gonna be passing along a lot of PII (Personally Identifiable Information) to whoever manages them.

2/ The long-term impact of losing what should have been an easy fight to win in Congress set the stage for even more acceptance of passivity in the Biden admin by choosing Garland for the wrong post. Lesson: 1. Fight to win. 2. Win.

Brett D - OKC @brettdokc.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
Let's remember that Garland was up for a nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court where his temperament would have been excellent, but Mitch McConnell opposed any appointment on BS grounds. Dems sent strongly-worded letters instead of fighting. When you lose a fight in Congress, it has long-term impact.
