🚨 💰 WOW — @SenatorHagerty & @MarshaBlackburn snuck a provision into the spending bill that would let them sue the government for $500,000 because Jack Smith looked into their phone records around Trump’s insurrection.
The Republican grifting is endless. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/u...

1) Welcome to Dirt Road Democrats, where we explain politics in terms of how it matters to rural America.
Our mission is born out of disappointment and disgust. For far too long, rural America has been abused by a system that only uses them for their vote.

Each time a protest is violently shut down, a university is defunded for political reasons, or a person is deported without a fair hearing, the foundation of our democracy cracks just a little bit more. We must all raise our voice in opposition before the damage is irreparable.

This 50 year mortgage shit is just another example of how OUT OF TOUCH WITH REALITY,TRASHY trump is.
Buying a $1M home with 20% down and a 50-year fixed mortgage at 6%?
Your loan is $800k.
Your monthly payment is ~$4,317.
After 30 years you’ll have paid $1.55M but only $201k of that is principal.
You’d still owe about $599k.
50-year mortgages barely touch the principal for decades.

You can bet China isn't the only player with backdoors into critical equipment. Tesla would be one of my first picks. When half the world is dependent on your satellites for everything you gotta wonder if they are trustworthy (and we know they aren't)

No country should trust any country. Especially not a country with a totalitarian regime like the USofA right now. With Trumpster Dumpster ranting and raving about Canada being the 51st state Canada would be insane to continue with the purchase of the F-35. Talk about remote kill switches.

Trump isn't playing 4D chess, Senate Democrats aren't playing 4D chess. No one is playing 4D chess. There's not even a 4D chessboard anywhere in sight. It's just poverty and medical disaster from here as far as the eye can see.
Time to start founding more mutual aid groups I guess?
