I read books and then write things about them.
I think about Decay a lot.
What if we built something’s end into its creation?

Did they arrest Obama or release the Epstein files yet? Is Hillary locked up? Did they figure out who in the Deep State is creating chemtrails?

It's up to us to make sure everyone knows they won't feel the bad stuff for a couple years, specifically because Republicans planned it that way so people will think the bill was good and vote for them again. Warn people it's coming.
The ugly cuts to Medicare and support programs don't come until 2026 and we know why. Between now and then Trump will continue to lie about it, and it won't hit home until after the election.

Dems will continue to predict that the sky is falling, soon. And everyone will write it off as politics.

Noting that “beautiful” is Trump’s standard term for the conscious abuse of large numbers of people, as in the promise to deport Gazans to some “beautiful” place. This language has to be treated as a subject in itself and not repeated.
When Dems considered an agenda called “Build Back Better,” mainstream news outlets agonized publicly about how they couldn’t use the term, and would instead call it, e.g., “Biden’s spending bill.” With Republicans in charge, calling their agenda One Big Beautiful Bill, that’s all out the window.

I would like for wealthy people excited for tax cuts to sign a piece of paper acknowledging that every dollar they get in tax breaks is going to be paid for by someone else…either someone not getting healthcare or SNAP or some future person paying higher taxes to pay the interest on our new debt.

Donald Trump is attacking me because he is desperate to distract from his war on working people. We must and we will fight back.

We are ONE step away from successful autocracy transition. All things we’ve touched on. We have no more checks and balances. Tbf even if Court can “enforce” there are no guardrails to force the executive to force itself. If we can’t defend the country we must defend our State. @governor.ca.gov

AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."

Collins is no hero. She voted to proceed only to safely vote no later. She could have stopped it earlier, but didn't. Because she needs her wealthy donor cash.

Well this is the bold, effective Democratic leadership we all have been clamoring for! Thanks @schumer.senate.gov.

I also appreciate the way you convert oxygen to carbon dioxide to help plant life around you. You're the best!
