President Biden will hand Trump and Musk a stellar economy

Plus tons of infrastructure projects funded by the Inflation Reduction Act

Watch Trump attempt to take credit for it all

Even as he tries to repeal the very laws which rescued us from the disaster he created

But WE will remember
GDP has risen 12.6 percent over Biden’s tenure, far outpacing both predictions made even before Covid became a household name and growth in other advanced countries.
Bidenomics Was Wildly Successful
The president’s domestic record wasn’t just extraordinary. It might put Democrats back in power in four years.

We should be SCREAMING when cops MURDER A FUCKING KID. Every time.

Because it happens A LOT.

Taxpayers spend 22% more per patient to support Medicare Advantage – the private alternative to Medicare that promised to cost less
Taxpayers spend 22% more per patient to support Medicare Advantage – the private alternative to Medicare that promised to cost less
Rather than finding efficiencies and saving money all around, the private companies that administer the Medicare Advantage option to Medicare are profiting at seniors’ – and taxpayers’ – expense.

From CNN

But the climate crisis still needs an actual solution – which is to stop using fossil fuels altogether, Jackson said.

Plugging up leaks is “pretending to cut emissions,” Jackson said. “Companies make cutting emissions intensity sound like a cut in actual emissions. It isn’t, of course."
New images show where super-polluters are venting an invisible gas into the atmosphere | CNN
High above the earth, a cutting-edge satellite is passing around Earth 15 times per day. It is hunting for leaks of methane – an invisible, super-polluting gas that is dramatically warming the planet.

Remember when, the Trump Administration caved to Big Pharma and broke their promise to enable Medicare drug negotiations?

Do not forget it was President Biden and Democrats in Congress who actually got this done!

I’d like to add that everyone has an opportunity to add value, simply by keeping this a positive and supportive environment. I love hearing what the more well known people have to say, what authors and Frs have to say, and what the Swifties have to say. All in one place, chosen by me not big brother

Trump and his entourage want fo claim a mandate for the most extreme elements of their agenda. But a lot of people who voted for Trump were delusional about what that agenda actually is, and voted for him believing he wouldn’t do those things. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

8/ To be clear, this is not proof of fraud. But it suggests to me the importance of some basic due diligence, such as manual recounts of swing states & ballot image requests.

Did you know many of the private schools NC Republicans are funneling billions to don't admit students with disabilities?

Public schools desperately need those funds and we accept and support *all* of our students as best we can. #nced #ncpol
