Never interrupt your opponent when he is making a mistake.
If the Dems believe it's a mistake to cut health care funding, then they need to be screaming that the results are 100% on the Republicans. Tell everyone now, it's what the GOP wanted and the Dems warned that it's coming.

If the President knows nothing about a pardon he issued, that should be a Congressional investigation into how it happened.
An exchange from President Trump's interview with CBS News' "60 Minutes" about accusations of corruption involving his family's crypto empire was not included in the extended version the network shared online

Don't sleep on these school board races. They determine trans rights, school lunches, book bans, and history lessons.
It'll take less than 5 minutes to vote today, and it may determine whether children in your community eat three meals a day.

Biden pardoned a criminal who caused great harm to US national security. When asked why he gave the pardon, Biden said he didn't know who the guy is or about the crime. That's bad, right?
Oh wait, no, it was Donald Trump who did that. He talked about it on 60 Minutes. #Autopen

Can someone explain what happens to this multi-billion dollar market when Meta says "We're not renting anymore."
quite literally everything i hear about the economics of this feels insane, especially given the big issue of the tools not doing what boosters say they will do. so many details make me feel very not good!

This is what Trump thinks of the Americans he represents.
Donald Trump just posted an AI video of himself dumping shit on protesters from a “King Trump” jet.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social I know you previously told me that the US is not a signatory to the ICC. But could a trial be held against a US citizen anyway and if convicted and that citizen traveled to a signatory country, brought into custody?

I also just learned that on the other platform, it's acceptable for a guy with 1488 in his username to call someone the N-word.
That is in spite of the platform's own reporting including racial slurs as being against the rules.

I wrote this same message on the other platform. It was bombarded with comments in support of the "I love Hitler" comments and telling me that I'm a Nazi, a communist and telling me that I want to kill people.
That happened between midnight and 6 am ET, you know, when so many Americans are online.

I am so glad that ICE is arresting the worst and most dangerous criminals like 13 year olds with no arrest history.

Just a little tip. If you're a business with a web site (as you should have) and the site has an email address, you need to check the emails.
I know of two local companies that don't answer the phone or seem to check their email.

Homan/Trump: ICE will deport the criminals, the worst of the worst. You know, fourth graders.
Multiple Chicago schools went on lockdown today because of ICE, including my son’s and the one I’m on the council of. Spent the last two hours standing outside, trying to make sure nothing happens to these kids. This is horrible.

Now we need thousands of US war veterans to protest this by burning flags.
They went to war for the US Constitution so people *could burn the US flag as a form of protest. He wants to take that away. Make their service meaningless. War veterans need to show him otherwise.
