How can a person who calls themselves a Christian support #Trump & his revenge strategy. “I hate my enemies and I do wish them harm”. Never encountered that in church or the New Testament. How about you? #republicans support his strategy. 😩😱🤮

#Trump threatening mass firing and layoffs if #Democrats don’t cave is illegal and will be so vastly unpopular that it will seal the midterm landslide for the #Resisters. At least that is my hope. Let me know your thoughts 💭🙏🏼

The harm of ignoring science and tossing disrespect to our government health orgs can’t be measured. NIH and CDC are no longer functional. Morale and productivity are at all time low. #GOdidthis is accountable. Call reps and #resist as we r #strongertogether

#GOPdidthis. What is happening in Texas is so blatantly anti- #demacracy. The true stripes are “we are cheaters & will do anything to keep power”. They care only for #MAGA, not the majority of American voters. 🤮😩😱 #resist.
The Texas gerrymander and the partisan war it has triggered signal an extraordinarily dangerous period for American democracy. bit.ly/41wQ0Uw
Texas Messes with Democracy
Gerrymandering is spinning out of control, but Congress can stop it.

Go, tariffs, Go! Yay Trump! Americans LOVE higher prices and bankruptcies! Bring it! We want more! Make us just like Venezuela with 800% inflation! MAGA! #FAFO Republicans.
Donald Trump's tariffs are forcing prices to rise.
Here's what we learned today:
John Deere announced layoffs. PepsiCo will increase prices by 10%. Sony is raising PS5 prices in the U.S. by $50 across all models. Electric bills are up 10% so far this year.

I agree. More and more Netanyahu looks like the oppressors of WWII Germany. How awful to see this happen & little to do but stop the war machine.
Governor Pritzker is right. No more blank checks for Netanyahu’s right-wing government and its military. No more blank checks for war crimes against Palestinians.

Mexican restaurant vandalized by ICE agents in raid near Pittsburgh. #shameful behavior by #ICE. We catered our granddaughter’s graduation from this restaurant & owners are family friends.

I am Stephen #Cobert fan. Read the opinion of his predecessor #Letterman on the CBS leadership cowardice. STOP COMPLYING IN ADVANCE! Not a successful strategy for tyranny! 😩🤮
"Letterman speculated that Ellison asked CBS, 'What about that kid, Steven Colbert? He's always shooting his mouth off about the administration. We don’t want any trouble from that guy. So the CBS people say, ‘Hey boys, here’s what we’re going to do.'"

Never forget: they said all of these federal government layoffs were about “cutting costs” and are desperately needed to shrink the deficit.
Then they turned around and blew a $5 trillion hole in it with their Big Ugly Bill—just to lock in permanent tax cuts for billionaires.
