Not that the law matters, but it's illegal to sell weapons to China following the 1989 Tiananmen Square Arms Embargo. Once again, it's either the incompetence or ignorance of this administration that is posing a potential threat to our country. Let's not forget, China is selling weapons to Iran.

I'm fed up with what this country has become under this administration! Midterms may put guardrails on the president, but anything short of Trump and his cabinet spending time in prison is unacceptable. This country needs to heal, and we need to earn back the trust of world leaders.

Being mad that you can't rig an election is next-level. This shows he only appointed justices he thought would be loyal to him, and most of the time they are, but tell him no a handful of times and he throws a temper tantrum. What a joke!

“Unprecedented" is becoming so common that it's lost its meaning. Do NOT let yourself become desensitized. Threatening to tear down a memorial that represents the cultural center of our nation is not normal. Tearing down the East Wing is not normal. Keep adding to the list in the comments.

This country is becoming what we once stood against. Mass terror, forced labor, concentration camps, attempted elimination of political opposition, and extreme propaganda are all things we once stood against. These things are being pushed as patriotism. It's not!

It's shameful. How many laws can he break before the legislature actually checks his power? I don't want to hear about election fraud when the president himself is bribing voters and asking his base to cheat. Once a cheater, always a cheater.

This was one of the few times when it didn't matter what your race, religion, gender, or political affiliation was. We were all Americans, and we all deeply felt the pain and fear that comes from being attacked. We still feel the tremors of that moment, and our country has never fully healed.

While he didn't blatantly call you a liar, it was clearly implied by calling the public discussion around the cost of living and inflation a “fake narrative,” a “con job,” and a “hoax” created by democrats. This financial stress feels real to me.

It's simple: if corporations can take more from you, they will! Look no further than child labor laws and the minimum wage to prove my point. Labor and employment laws set guardrails on corporate greed, but as we see, that's not enough.

Nearly $100 billion allocated to ICE in ‘25- '26, another $52 million to change the DoD to the Department of War while’s our military fights ANOTHER unnecessary war in the Middle East with ships in this condition and depleted stockpiles of munitions. Are we great again? Is this what you voted for?

The Electoral College is archaic and needs to be abolished. It's long overdue that we switch to the popular vote. Give me your opinions in the comments.

Elect a pedophile who is pushing for no restrictionS on AI and this is what happens. The world we live in is getting darker and darker, and accountability needs to start from the top. The entire system is broken, and politicians don't want to fix it because they profit from the chaos.

Ryan Gilbert for Congress @gilbert4congress.bsky.social · 01/09/2026
If the president can make money from a decision, he will, as he owns millions of dollars worth of stock in AI companies and companies that are building data center facilities. 70%-75% of Americans oppose data centers, so who exactly is Oompa J Loompa representing? It's infuriating!

He never came to drain the swamp, he came to drain the treasury and your pockets in the process. This grifter has no chill, and “ethics” isn't even a word he knows. Imagine the power these companies have over the highest office in the nation. No one in office should trade individual stocks.

In November of 2024, the American people spoke. We looked at an old, mentally declining white male with over 30 years of experience and said enough… we want an old, mentally declining white male with reality TV experience, because that'll fix America. At least we got what we voted for!

Immigrants aren't the problem, nor have they ever been. They're foundational to our economy, adding billions of dollars through their work product and taxes. I understand that the majority believes there is a right way and a wrong way to enter our country, and I can accept that point.

There are so many options that wouldn't require us to waste our clean water. For instance, we can use reclaimed water, or they use a closed cooling loop. It's time for businesses to start thinking about what's good for the next generation, not just what's good for the board.

Trump is destroying the economy and trying to fix it by hurting farmers and ranchers (again)! This isn't America first, cheap Argentine beef will flood the market, pricing out ranchers, reducing their income, and destroying partnerships with other countries that buy American products.

As we face the very real challenge of global warming due to greenhouse gases and the ensuing climate change, this administration has rolled back restrictions under the Clean Air Act and has continued to push inefficient fossil fuels while attempting to cancel clean energy subsidies.

Corporations receive bonds, tax write-offs, and government subsidies, yet we have over 500k medical bankruptcies every year. Single payer universal healthcare will save us $300 billion to over $1 trillion in total national health expendatires. Healthcare is a right and should be non-profit.

They should've snuck him through in a trash can, because that's more representative of this administration. There's a tip for ole Mandarin Mussolini: if you're tired of all the threats and attempts, quit pissing everyone in the world off!

If you allow MAGA to be racist, ignorant, and cognitively dissident they'll run with it. Religion, fraud, Epstein files, fascism, the Middle East, and gay rights only matter if it doesn't benefit them. That's how you know it's a cult and not political ideology, because it's all contradictory!

Ryan Gilbert for Congress @gilbert4congress.bsky.social · 11/08/2026
Christian nationalism is ruining this country. People who think it's un-American to protest the wrongs of this country forgot all about how we became a country. Expecting better should always be the mindset; we shouldn't be rolling back policy, we should be searching for a better path forward!

Immigrants have never been the issue, just like “tough on crime” was never a real issue. If it were, then we wouldn't have elected a 34x convicted felon who married an immigrant and has anchor babies. Let's be clear, this is simply about hate and oppression.

This will be my first purchase after I receive my DOGE Dividend and Teriff refund checks. I'll need a year to recover, because that’s how tired I am of the corruption in this administration!

Wales made it a criminal offense to deliberately make false or misleading statements. I strongly believe that the US needs to adopt a similar law. This administration lives in an alternate reality, and the mental gymnastics that MAGA does to pretend this is what they voted for is almost admirable

As deportations began to escalate, so did the number of pregnancies and sexual assaults in detention centers, along with life-threatening delays in medical care, psychological torture, lack of basic hygiene products, and the violence and murders of not only immigrants but U.S. citizens as well.

I voted NO, and there's still time for you to do the same. Voting ends on August 4th. Keep money out of politics if you want it to work for regular people. The system was changed to what it is now due to Republican corruption (The Triple Play). Don't let them do it again!

A little humor to start the day. Most countries would be happy to let the US invade as long as they can get the same deal that Iran did. This meme is funny, but this administration is a real joke! I plan to fix that. Visit gilbert4congress.com to see how!

Unions protect our rights and give a voice to the workers. The nurses of St. Francis and St. Joseph are just asking for security! I used to be a dues paying member, and what I learned was that if corporations could, they definitely would remove all your rights and protections to focus on profits.

The red card was a terrible call and should have never happened! However, the irony of the president calling in favors to get Balogun back on the pitch while also trying to end birthright citizenship is crazy. Either way, it’s settled, so let's go USMST!

This has easily been one of the most ineffective congresses in our history! They seem to think they work for Trump, when in reality they work for us. I’m running to replace Ron Estes because someone needs to be the voice for the 4th district. The people deserve better than what we have.

Criticizing the government doesn't mean I hate America. It means I love it enough to see it as it is while also pushing it to get better. Pretending everything is perfect is called nationalism, not patriotism! Visit gilbert4congress.com to see my plan to improve this great nation.

Corporations privatize gains while socializing losses. Look no further than what happened in 2008. What we have currently is not capitalism, it's gatekeeping. It's the top 1% feeding off the government and then blaming the poor.

As we prepare for the 250th birthday of this great experiment, I want to remind everyone it's still okay to celebrate the good this great nation has done while also being critical of the things it hasn't done. But not to celebrate is to let them win. This admiration has been about oppression!

Another big win for the 14th Amendment! If you're born in this country, you're a part of it, whether bigots like it or not! I'm sick of people being villainized simply because they look different or have a different culture. It's time to silence the racists!

There is no correlation between marijuana use and gun crimes. Many law-abiding citizens use marijuana for stress relief or medical necessities; there's no reason to remove an individual's Second Amendment right. Let's focus on the correlation between alcohol and violent crime first.

The farthest right I'm willing to go is Eisenhower. And I believe that's enough. We've gotten so focused on party over people that we stopped fixing issues simply so we can use them to get elected again. My ideas aren't radical, they're common sense.

More than 170 countries produce less than one trillion in GDP every year. There shouldn’t even be billionaires, yet our tax code has allowed the world’s first trillionaire. This is disgusting and needs to be fixed. And I’m planning on fixing this issue when I’m elected.

There's a lot that needs to get done, and we have a real chance of accomplishing our goals. But we need to make sure the right candidates move forward in the primary, and progressive candidates should be the only option. We dont need more establishment Democrats that only care about power and money.
