lapod.bsky.social @lapod.bsky.social · 11/04/2025It's interesting how conservative politicians only speak about federal policies that work for their constituents (ie farmers) but can not acknowledge policies that hurt them (ie tariffs, mass deportation of workers). It's like they're afraid of someday being targeted by the govt 000

lapod.bsky.social @lapod.bsky.social · 16/02/2025The federal government is purging so many jobs and funding and seems to have no concern for what the voters think about that.
