It was never about grocery prices.
Trump said he couldn’t guarantee that tariffs won’t raise prices for Americans.

Trump also said it would be “very hard” to lower grocery prices, backing down on his main campaign promise.

Are Trump supporters starting to realize that they’ve been conned… AGAIN?

A “GREAT” read. I think we are all feeling this but we can’t look away.
I think responsible people of empathy are suffering from information-poisoning right now.

The more we know about what's really happening in this country; the depths of our fractures, the audacity of our leaders, the less hopeful we can become.

I'm on a treasure hunt.

I wanna make a starter pack of smaller accounts (<20K) who are fully engaged in our fight for democracy and have things to say.

If you're one of them, drop your favorite post here. It has to be an original post by you, not a meme or QT.

If you know some, recommend them!

I am watching with grave concern over the actions of the South Korean president to declare martial law, all because the opposition has blocked his agenda and impeached his cabinet.

Democracy is under assault across much of the world. We must be on highest guard here as well as Trump takes office.

Call me crazy, but I think Justin Sun, a Chinese national being prosecuted for fraud by the SEC, sending Trump $18 million should be a bigger story

The direct enrichment of Trump by a foreign national weeks before he takes office has merited no coverage in the NYT or Washington Post
A Chinese national, charged with fraud by the SEC, just sent Donald Trump $18 million
Chinese Crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun paid $6.2 million for a banana — sold by Sotheby's as conceptual art — and then ate it last Friday.

Good advice to everyone on BlueSky
You can voice your opinion about Kash Patel without retweeting DT. PLEASE do not turn BlueSky into Twitter/X by continually retweeting him. Let’s not become a garbage dump for Truth Social. Just state your viewpoint without platforming him. Thanks.

Americans failed America!
Well it worked—mission accomplished for Donald Trump.

That f*cker ran for president to escape facing accountability for his crimes and in the process proves that he is above the law. The justice system failed America.

I get it. You don't like that Trump is getting away with all the crimes. He was indicted, the trial date was set, and you knew he had to lose the election or he was never going to see prison.

It's easy to blame Biden, or Garland, or Smith, but before you do, blame everyone who voted for Trump.

If you really wanted Trump to see prison, you had 4 years to do everything you could to make sure he lost this election and ended up in prison.

Did you do everything you could do? Don't answer. Just reflect.

Heather Cox Richardson’s newsletter is my favorite source for getting news and contextualizing what it means. Today’s newsletter is an excellent explanation of the balance between the President and Congress and a warning about how Trump intends to destroy that.
