💙Love animals, especially cats. Worried about politics. But really worried I could be laid off soon so the ultra rich CEO can make even more money with cheaper and younger labor. Starting to think greed is the root of all evil. Or power, I forget.

Tennessee gave $65 million to Oracle to create jobs— guess we should have specified they be jobs for Americans🫤 Trump’s buddy Ellison is firing Americans and replacing them with foreign workers. (And now owns TikTok, CBS, CNN, etc) Watch oligarchy work. nationaltoday.com/us/tx/austin...

Managed to get another job at a small business. Same pay (sigh of relief) but no health insurance or other benefits (groan of frustration). I am both grateful for another chance to support myself and my family and also bitter at the selfish, rich f*cks at giant corporations who only care about $.

I’m going to need to see the declination memos from DoJ where they declined to prosecute the Epstein co-conspirators, and I’m gonna need to see them for every single person they declined to prosecute.

kyrsten sinema seemingly had a long-term plan to cash out of her senate job by establishing a reputation as someone who was connected to both parties, so at minimum it is good to see her get to find out that her name is mud
After the vote, as attendees eased out into the chilly night, several told New Times that they had been unaware of the proposed data center until they saw footage of Sinema’s appearance before the council in October. A mustachioed gentleman declined to give his name but told New Times that Sinema’s involvement had “created more outrage” and “drew more people in opposition” to the data center.
“Basically,” he said, “I think it had the opposite effect that she had intended.”

Alexandria Jones echoed that sentiment. She thought she would have eventually heard about the Chandler data center, but Sinema basically drew a bright red circle around the project.

“The benefit of Kyrsten Sinema coming is that people who are not plugged into these things were able to see what’s going on and see why it’s not a good thing,” Jones said. “She came in and was basically threatening us. 

“So yeah,” she added, “thank you, I guess, to Kyrsten Sinema.”

WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.” Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

A study from 2014 found if 100% of Americans want something passed, there’s a 30% chance Congress passes it. If 0% of Americans want something passed, there’s still a 30% chance Congress passes it. They haven’t worked for the American people for a long time. We need to ban big💰

Successful teams I have been part of had a mix of ages, experiences, opinions, skills. The US house and senate skew older than the electorate and are less diverse in other ways. If candidates didn’t need so much money to run we could get a better mix, fewer 20yr terms, and less corruption.

Front page of the day goes to the Wall Street Journal. Every paper should focus on this juxtaposition. “Market Carnage Worsens”, “Trump Heads to Golf Club”
The top story is headlined Market Carnage Worsens with a graph showing the sharp drop in stock prices.
Immediately below is a story headlined Trump Heads to Golf Club Amid Tariff Turmoil. The picture of Trump looking like a total prick inside his car waving on the phone with a MAGA hat on.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

My posts might make it sound like I am anti-business. I'm not. I don't object to companies turning a profit. I just think there is such a thing as enough profit. Hard to define that line but the reaction is loud when it has been crossed (e.g. United Health).
