My sister is a nurse. My oldest daughter is a nurse. My wife is a lab tech. And...and one time...I was a nurse. Don't tell my family...or the hundreds of thousands of other families...that nurses...and those in the health field...aren't "professionals."

You're Goddamn right we're professionals.

Average electricity cost increase since Jan:

Missouri ⬆️ 37%
Iowa ⬆️ 30%
North Dakota ⬆️ 30%
Oklahoma ⬆️ 30%
New Jersey ⬆️ 27%
Nebraska ⬆️ 25%
Montana ⬆️ 25%
Wyoming ⬆️ 23%

NATIONWIDE ⬆️ 11%

Instead of working to lower costs, Trump is boosting power-hungry AI data centers.

Yes with data sold off, federal jobs lost and all Musk investigation dropped. There was no waste fraud or abuse, it was a total scam played on the American people. Trump dodged jail and Musk got millions in contracts.
THIS!!! We are not mad enough.

Under the Republican Congress and Donald Trump, the U.S. has lost 58,000 U.S. based manufacturing jobs since Donald Trump and the Republican Congress declared "Liberation Day" - the roll out of their nonsensical tariffs.

Total failure and incompetence by Trump and Republican Congress.

Trump never had a fan base.

He had an army of bots who sold his racism and misogyny and xenophobia to uneducated Americans who took voting advice from bald eagle profiles posting Tweets from Eastern Europe.

It’s as stupid as it sounds.

Why would we expect a former Fox News host, to be any different from any of the other idiots appointed by President Sleepy McStrokeface?
Ignorance and ineptitude are the first qualifiers for a trump appointment.

Pete was relieved of command for incompetence, did nothing of note in his brief career, and later made policy to allow sexual assault to be purged from service records after a length of
time. Wonder why.

CNBC: My understanding is the White House said that China was gonna buy 12 million tons of soybeans from the US by January. That's approaching and they've only purchased 332,000. China has not confirmed that pledge.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia's lawyers inform a federal judge about the Washington Post's bombshell: The government's claim that Costa Rica will no longer accept Abrego has been exposed as a lie.

More evidence—"if any were needed"—of vindictive prosecution.

I saw a guy trying to siphon gas out of a Tesla today. I didn’t have the heart to stop him, but I did call AAA just to watch them explain electricity to him.

Home Depot could implement a policy requiring ICE to present a judicial warrant before operating on its property. Businesses are fully within their rights to decide who is allowed on their premises.
