Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

Just recently moved into downtown Phoenix! I was able to get a 22nd floor apartment with lots of large windows and stunning views. Very Excited! 🤩

Seeing some of the comments being left by magats on No Kings Day Protest posts is disturbing. I know they’re trolling, but the amount of stupidity and ignorance is crazy..

Side note, the new glassy look for Apple’s iOS 26 update looks really good. I’m noticing subtle little details across the interface that make me happy!

It’s interesting seeing all of maga suddenly going from “we want peace, Trump is the peace president,” to “We want war! Let’s bomb Iran!”
Anyone with a brain though, knew Trump was lying. And maga again has to twist themselves into pretzels to justify it.

The words probably aren’t true, as most people know by now I’d assume. And yes I kept the Harris sign I waved when I went to her rally in Phoenix. Happy Pride month! 🏳️🌈

Here’s your daily reminder, tariffs are taxes paid by the importing company, who then forwards that cost onto consumers. So in the end, WE pay the tariffs..

Just an FYI for maga, all of the economic carnage, unstable stock market, and GDP contraction is absolutely on Trump and his admin. Blaming Biden at this point is psychotic..

FYI for maga, since yall keep using the millions that Obama and Biden deported “without due process”, as an excuse, here’s the difference..
Deporting people at the border is not the same thing as deporting legal residents to a prison in El Salvador without due process. Hope that helps..

So I’ve noticed maga is claiming the uptick in measles cases in the US is a result of illegal immigrants..
Not only is there no evidence of this, the more likely answer is that the multitude of unvaccinated people is the cause, as they happen to be the ones contracting and spreading the disease. 🤦

The maga propensity for consistently taking the incorrect, and morally dubious, position in any debate will never cease to amaze me.
It seems as if data and statistics don’t matter, and reality is denied, in favor of feelings based conclusions driven by rage bait propaganda and lies.. Sad..

It’s interesting seeing that the zealots screeching that Lady Gaga is satanic, are literally the same people who voted for a divisive, rich, narcissistic, wannabe dictator who defunded children’s cancer research, and called for the termination of the constitution.. stfu..

Does Trump really not know how trade deficits work?
They’re not an inherently bad thing, it just means that we import more than we export.
Trade deficits also have nothing to do with the national debt..
You’d really expect a literal president to understand this..

This has to just be market manipulation at this point.
1. Trump announces crazy wide-spread tariffs and stocks drop
2. The robber barons buy up cheap stock
3. Trump pauses tariffs and the market rebounds
4. The robber barons get even richer
This has happened multiple times now..

So the stock market rebounded a bit because Trump paused a lot of his insane tariffs on the whole world for 90 days. However, he put a 125% tariff on China.. 🤦
Do they not realize how much stuff we import from China? This is still disastrously irresponsible and stupid..

MAGA, When even Fox News is criticizing you, and admitting that the chart you’re using to justify these tariffs is nothing but BS, that’s how you know you’ve lost the plot. Don’t take my word for it though, just ask the penguins on the uninhabited McDonald Islands why they’re getting tariffed.. 🤦

I was just accused of being “closed minded and blind” from a conservative family member concerning my posts.
Weird, as all I do is call out falsehoods, and care about truth and verifiability over propoganda and misinformation.
But I guess not everyone thinks that way unfortunately.

Congrats to Crawford for winning the Supreme Court seat in Wisconsin! This goes to show that Elon Musk can’t continue buying elections.

The conservative proclivity for continually voting against their own interests will always astound me. Never underestimate the power of propaganda..
