I hated Twitter the first day I got onto it. Never got the concept of trying to communicate an idea in 140 characters. This is me giving a second try at this type of communication format. It sounds like it has an anti-X basis so a little more appealing.

Don’t tell me Republicans are anti-tax. Especially when it’s a scheme to transfer the tax burden to the lower income Americans.

Is there an online site where people can report how they have been harmed by DOGE? Somebody needs to keep specific records of harm done to individuals that can be cited in court or wherever.

I have not been harmed other than mental anguish so far. I want a place to record if I lose anything.

Remember — Tulsi Gabbard was on a TSA watch list because of suspicious foreign travel, including to Syria and Russia.

Maybe — just maybe, hear me out here — the Director of National Intelligence should NOT be someone who made a TSA watch list for suspicious foreign travel.

Meta to pay a $25 million fine for shutting off Trump’s accounts after January 6. $22 million of the fine will be put in a fund to apply toward the Trump presidential library. That’s a lot of picture books.

Trump's treasury nominee Scott Bessent, who is worth ~$500 million, said extending Trump's tax cuts for the rich is "the most important economic issue of the day."

When asked if we should raise the federal minimum wage above the current paltry $7.25 an hour, he said, "No, sir."

THIS is 💯 how I feel.

We can’t wait until the midterms to DO SOMETHING!

The felon is destroying our country more and more each day, and our elected Dems need to speak up NOW.

5 years of Netflix US profit: $15.1 Billion

5 years of Netflix exec pay: $652M

5 years of taxes paid by Netflix: $236M

In a 5-year span after Trump's tax cuts, Netflix paid top execs 3x what it paid in federal income tax.

Yesterday, Netflix announced it was raising prices again.

Now we have sex assault allegations against Hegseth. This may be true, BUT… this doesn’t keep people out of office. Spend time focusing on peoples lack of qualifications. First priority, keep him out of office. Second priority, let someone else prosecute the sexual assault charges.

I just started reading a book about the history of prohibition. Eager to learn how people pushed back against others who imposed their way of life on the masses.
