Folks in Georgia are lucky to have a fighter like @ossoff.bsky.social who is standing up to this Administration’s corruption and fighting to lower costs for families. And after talking to so many of them, I know they’ll do everything they can to re-elect him and help us take back the Senate.

Under Hegseth’s weak & woeful leadership, the defense budget has become a piggy bank not just for Trump’s impractical flights of fancy (eg, "the golden fleet") but also for Trump family members. Companies in which his sons have invested have received $3.2B in defense contracts. wapo.st/466UOli

Wage growth is down compared to last year just as inflation is spiking. That means workers' real wages are shrinking. To restore purchasing power, Trump and the Fed must act to reign in the price spike caused by the Iran War.

I tend to get dogpiled every time I say this but: as someone *who likes bluesky and benefits from being here* we have a problem. The network is shrinking, not growing. It's shrinking a lot: only about 1.1m people a day even like a post. This time last year it was 1.6m.
Unique daily likers as a graph over the last year. It's down from about 1.6 million a day a year ago to 1.1 million a day now.
