Factory workers are turning on the GOP due to support for Trump’s tariffs. The high taxes have been responsible for the loss of job Add this to the price of gas, the Iran War, rising healthcare costs, and high grocery prices; blame the GOP. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apnews.com/article/-158...

President Donald Trump's tariffs are turning factory workers against his Republican Party over fears the import taxes could lead to fewer jobs instead of the manufacturing renaissance he promised.

It's amazing to see George Carlin predict our truly shitty current situation here in America, decades ago in his stand-up. The man was a genius and a prophet. Damn, I miss him.

Gonna be ugly. Finally got through to my MAGA mom how cutting Medicaid and Medicare WILL definitely hurt her and my dad personally. The only way to get through to MAGA is show how it hurts them. They don't care about anyone else.

The United States is the world's largest exporter of diesel. There is no shortage of diesel in The US since Trump continues to allow its export. There is only the global price/market place. Trump buying Russian diesel does not increase supply and it will not make anything cheaper for anyone.

“People used to beat me up for not supporting Trump. I haven’t heard that in a year,” Trump is economically illiterate. His policies hurting the US is not a surprise. Most of the GOP knew this but they stood aside and let it happen. Vote out the enablers. #Sheshed apnews.com/article/trum...

Now that Trump is explicitly backing Russia over Europe, we should have a frank public discussion about how horrific it would be for the US to back Russia over Europe AND Trump should be explicitly pressed hard on why he is doing this to US.

for as long as i've been alive, republicans have ran the same playbook: a few weeks before voting begins, they roll out completely fabricated smear campaigns. these things are always coordinated, so the talking points take over the news. the party is never electorally punished for their dishonesty.

I don't mind you calling someone either a Nazi or a Communist as long as you tell me, convincingly, why that label is accurate. I can explain to you quite easily why Trump is, if not coherent enough to be a fascist, at least someone who traffics in fascism.

David Brooks is big mad that Democrats like what Jon Ossoff is modeling, which is a very calm but clear and muscular rejection of soft-peddling or dodging and weaving, which is the 'centrist' stock in trade. Or, TLDR: Fuck mister Brooks.
