Beyond its famous preamble, the Declaration of Independence listed out a set of grievances against King George III of England. Some of them sound quite familiar…

This statement is too vague. Does this mean he does not support funding the war in Ukraine?

Doesn't banning Chinese software effectively ban Chinese EVs? it's like a 2,000% tariff.

You post is a little disingenuous because the majority of the increased funds for ICE were already appropriated (not just budgeted) in the CBBB. So the horse had already left the barn. The Dems did negotiate some reductions and some improvements, so they wanted to at least vote for those.

@booker.senate.gov Sorry, but as an old white guy from Texas, even I can see that better trained white supremists will still be white supremists.

I agree! So stop them! You have power. Use it for something other than speeches. Arrest them. Indict them.

Hal Jennings @halj78727.bsky.social · 12/01/2026

It's nice you tell people this, but in the real world, ICE just does whatever it wants and no one is there to hold them accountable. We must find a way to give them consequences for their actions. They will be Trump's enforcers during elections. We need a way to stop them.

I think it is great that it takes 20+ men to arrest 2 innocent people. That is not sustainable. I do hope these innocent people are released quickly and that they sue for large sums of money.

Hal Jennings @halj78727.bsky.social · 12/01/2026

But they do ALL these horrible things and no one seems to be able to hold them accountable. We have video evidence. We have eye witnesses. Where are the local police? Where are the state troopers? Where is the National Guard? We already know that DHS is not going to stop on their own.

Wait... Trump is JUST NOW consulting an architect about the ballroom for which he has already destroyed the East Wing?!? It will be years before they even start construction. Meanwhile, we have a pile of rubble. This is stupidity of the highest level. 😡

I'm confused. If there is a contract with FIFA, why did the Kennedy Center double-book, so that they have to cancel other events? This doesn't make sense.

Went to the #NoKings Rally & March in Austin. Rally at the state capitol, march down Congress Street to Auditorium Shores, and then more rally. HUGE turnout in spite of the 92 degrees and sunny weather. Congress Street was packed for a mile with large supportive audience standing on the sidewalks.

I was still shocked to see this at the top of a Treasury Department webpage. This is illegal. This is a government department, that is supposed to be non-political, taking a political position. It says something far more negative about the poster than it does about their target.

Just a suggestion: Most people in the U.S. do not know where Smolensk is located. Adding "Russia" to the narrative would help your cause.

Yes, but... those are rhetorical threats. Republicans will NEVER negotiate them. So Democrats will then have to cave on third "demands."

Hal Jennings @halj78727.bsky.social · 24/09/2025

This is stupid! During Biden's term, Democrats supported the bipartisan solution that laid out the whole plan. And then the Republicans all bailed out at Trump's command.

How many lies are there on these two pages alone? And they're not impromptu gaffes. It's right there in black & white. (BTW, using all caps for presenter's notes is pretty standard.)

"Biden didn't even have a plan to end the war." And what was Trump's plan? I never hear it. Does he now have a plan? What is it? How's it going for him?

Trans people of Texas, I think you know what to do. Go to the state capitol in Austin and other state government buildings. Use the bathroom associated with the sex you were assigned at birth. Make sure you are seen. Let us know how it goes.

Dems got ahead of the curve, shouting about inflation caused by tariffs (and now the BUB) before the pain actually occurred, and no one understood. It's good to get out in front of the problem so you can say "I told you so" later, but you can't expect everyone to see the prob until it arrives.
