So let me get this straight. The man who tore down the East Wing of the White House in order to build an oversized ballroom that no one asked for has launched an investigation into Jerome Powell over renovations to the Federal Reserve headquarters.

Did I get that right?

From 2019-2024, Lowe's spent $46.6 BILLION on stock buybacks.

That's enough to give each of its 273k employees a $28k bonus for the next six years.

Instead, it paid its CEO 659x what it paid median employees.

And we STILL think corporate tax breaks will magically trickle down?

Is it wrong to aspire for a president who brings out the best in all of us, instead of unleashing the worst in some of us?

More damage to soft power. Trump just silenced the Voice of America, which counters Russia, China, & Iran’s propaganda. He is handing the narrative over to them. Why does he hate American values? Oh yeah ... he only understands things he can sell with his name on it. 🙃

Thousands have lost their jobs thanks to the inhuman duo of Musk & Trump, now Trump’s become a car saleman out here urging people to buy Teslas because the stock is tanking? Are we supposed to feel sorry for Elon? Give me a break. What a joke.

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

3/3 Zero Integrity. Zero Accountability. Zero Character. But hey he's succeeding in bringing incredible levels of incompetency. Good job America. We did it.

2/3 Oh and let's check on the war in Ukraine. Don the Con also said, “If I’m president, I will have that war settled in one day, 24 hours.” How's that going? Did he forget to set his Fisher-Price laugh and learn toddler watch? Did world peace go down in plane crash caused by DEI?

1/3 "Starting on day one, we will end inflation." That is a direct quote from the Liar In Chief. He also said this: "When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on day one." Hmmm. Inflation has ticked up and so have prices. I guess lying is easier than leading.

Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details

Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.
