Trump never saw it coming! BOOM!

Republicans spent more than $2.2 million in 2024 on ads promoting tariffs, in 2026 they have spent zero.

October 19, 2024, The Economist called the U.S. economy “The Envy of the World.” Today? Not so much

Let’s get this done!

Putin, Trump, Elon

Nationalize Starlink

“Don’t act like the person you used to be. Act like the person you’re going to become.” Likewise, America cannot “be great again” (whatever that means) it can become better than ever. It starts with acting like a citizen and voting then taking action towards improvement every day.

Ten years ago today. In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine...

The Date: October 20, 1944 The Event: A coalition of university students, teachers, workers, and progressive military leaders deposed the military regime, paving the way for a decade of democratic reforms (known as the "Ten Years of Spring") and a new national constitution The Lesson: People rule

We were warned, now it’s an “I told you so”

Aid and comfort are part of the criteria in Article III of the Constitution of the United States that define treason.

In the midst of massive tariffs in the auto industry, Toyota chooses Canada 🇨🇦. They have announced a new investment of more than $1.1 billion to support production of the new sixth-generation Toyota RAV4. More jobs coming…

Meta can shut down communications, Elon and Star Link can disable communication in war zones. Corporations cannot be trusted to do the right thing or to protect democracy, Only “We the People” can do that! #Vote

Trump Mails $90 Checks To Seniors — Further evidence of waste, fraud, and abuse.

Looks like Huckabee’s campaign got some tips from @theonion.com Seems like it’s the real deal to me.

MAGA supporters who cheer this ridiculous pledge are unable to do simple math. In a country running up more and more debt who do they think is paying for the interest on the debt? It’s like your credit card company extending your limit when you are already in over your head.

Corporations can’t afford another tax but they sure as hell can afford to finance politicians who can continue to protect them from those taxes. Imagine if this was invested in schools, transportation, high speed rail, or healthcare.

Note to parents; talk to your boys about the consequences of stupid stuff you do when you’re 18 that can come back to ruin you later. Ps, if you or someone you know is teaching young men to behave this way, Seek Help. #EndRacism

When the US President is talking out loud about annihilating another country and Putin is threatening using nuclear weapons on NATO countries I’m thinking it’s past time for real leaders to take charge.

“I have the highest of IQs. I have the highest. I’m fine, and I understand that stuff. You know, my uncle was at MIT for 41 years, and you know, I’m a—I believe in genetics, frankly, and I understand. I understand it much more than I think any president would, because I do have an ability on this.”

The flow of power/prosperity, from labor to capital, needs to be reversed.

Nation Horrified To Think Sexual Assault Could Happen On College Campus — Or by elected officials!

The 21st Century Robber Barons talking about the new “Golden Age”.

We now have evidence of two “villains” and “Dirtbags” in DC. You can add Senator Schmitt along next to hero, DJT

Electioneering is full swing, time to put on your BS detector! Personal Safety Device recommended

Democracy in action. We can see #Canada across the water where they are leading where we used to.

“we are witnessing an extraordinary transfer of power away from governments to a handful of private corporations and individuals,” whose “reach now extends across politics, economies, information flows, technological development, and the civic space on which societies depend.” UN - Antonio Guterres

What new crisis is coming for our wallets?

We The People do not owe out fidelity to a single person or position, nor to a single political party if they are wrong. We owe our fidelity as Americans to the principles laid out in the Constitution and the principles of democracy on which it was founded. If we stray from that we are surly lost.

“…save industry more than $300 billion in costs.” Is Latin for “feel free to pollute” shifting the costs to everyone rather than investing in cleaning up their own mess.

When the President claims “It’s a Hoax” (a tell) it’s time to sit up and pay attention.
