Imagine complaining that the opposing candidate was "bought and paid for" when your guy *literally* had the richest man in the world handing out checks for a million dollars for your guy.
Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Rebecca Bradley on Crawford: "I think the way Judge Crawford ran her race was disgusting...I'm not looking forward to working with her. She's bought and paid for by the Democratic Party."

The only thing you need to know about Trump’s tariffs is that Congress has ceded all of its Constitutional powers to the executive and you should be absolutely furious about this.

Manchin and Sinema preserved the filibuster that Democrats now rely on. Funny how the party has never once said they were right.
It was a risk to primary Sinema in a rough year for Democrats, but Gallego is such an excellent improvement on her bullshit. Very glad to have him in the Senate.

Speaker Pelosi also delayed the 2nd Trump impeachment trial for ten days. It took her ten days to get the impeachment articles to the floor, pass them and send them over to the Senate. She did find the time to organize a formal signing ceremony where she handed out ceremonial pens.

I've got lots of ammo on Tesla.
How can I get in touch with the head of the Takedown Tesla movement?
They need some propulsion for their next leg up.

Vice President Vance has advocated the same position. This would end checks and balances and our democracy as we know it. Every Congressional Democrat should speak out against this. Instead, they voted for the continuing resolution to fund this administration. Huge mistake.
When asked if the Administration will comply with court orders on fired federal workers, WH Press Secretary Leavitt says the orders are unconstitutional: You cannot have a low level district court judge filing an injunction to usurp the executive authority of the President…

This was the thinking of the Tea Party movement. Tea Party politicians ran on paying down the national debt, shrinking DC and expanding freedom. Today we are over $36 trillion in debt, DC is larger than ever and Trump is applying terrorism laws to campus protests.

I remember Democrats mass cancelling their New York Times subscriptions over an opinion piece written by Republican Senator Tom Cotton. We used to have a country where debate was encouraged. Now both sides want their echo chambers. America needs to get back to supporting free speech & civil debate.
Bezos destroying the post opinion pages is just another reminder: Conservatives think free speech is when they can say what they want and when you can say what they want.

Prominent American Democrats are busy looking for ways the US-Ukraine deal was a win for… Ukraine. I haven’t read the deal to comment but it’s this stuff that gets annoying. If Cuban loves Ukraine over America, he should go live there. You can support Ukraine while wanting America to come out ahead.

President Trump is calling himself the king. VP Vance has called for the president to ignore court orders. It’s all connected and Congressional Dems are going to let the main story be swept under the rug rather than calling on moderate GOP Senators like Susan Collins to stand up to this insanity.

According to Musk’s chart, over 83 million 0-18 year olds are receiving Social Security checks.
According to the latest Census, there are only 73 million kids under the age of 18 living in America.
Musk seems to be laying the groundwork to gut Social Security to pay for his tax cut. Disgusting.

Bluesky isn’t the place for thoughtful discussion. It’s an echo chamber where you get blocked if you color outside the lines. Social media has damaged the Democrat brand. Most liberals I know in real life are the nicest people you will meet. They aren’t anything like the ones you find on Bluesky.
This is so smart. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social , thoughts ?
And if you see this. A reminder. This is not Twitter. You can engage here and have thoughtful discussions !
We all look forward to reading your thoughts

No Tax On Tips and investment in AI will stimulate the economy.
Cuts to entitlements and foreign aid combined with a minimum tax on corporations will reduce inflation.
Democracy is good. Both sides need to come together, combine their best ideas and make a deal to get our nation back on track. 🇺🇸

Would be helpful to include in the post that he arrived in the US on January 19, 2025 (A day before Trump’s inauguration) and hasn’t been convicted or even accused of a crime. Congress controls the power of the purse and can put an end to this insanity in the upcoming debt ceiling negotiation.
Luis Alberto Castillo arrived in the U.S. so that he could “give everything to his son,” said his sister. Then, while scrolling on TikTok, she found out he was headed to Guantánamo.

We need to cut USAID, NATO spending and other foreign aid packages to pay for No Tax On Tips which will put more money in the pockets of American workers and stimulate our economy. 🇺🇸
The best USAID programs are incredibly good — the smart way to rebuild would be to put as much money as possible into those programs rather than spreading so thin.

We love our democracy and believe power should be concentrated in the hands of the many, not just a handful of unelected bureaucrats. It’s crazy how the new GOP has come out openly for monarchy. I was shocked by Vice President Vance’s tweet calling for the end to our democratic republic.

Jennings: These district court judges, they find the most lunatic liberals they can.

America has funded Europe’s defense for decades. This is how our NATO “friends” talk about our nation. We need to cut foreign aid and use the money to cut taxes for American workers. No Tax On Tips!
Friedrich Merz, front-runner to be Germany's next chancellor, warned that Europe must be united in foreign, security and trade policy, stressing that the EU can't afford to be weak in its dealings with Washington.
The EU must not be a ‘dwarf’ in Washington, says Germany’s likely next chancellor

The new GOP leaders embrace monarchy (Example below) and the Democratic Party supports Big Gov which paves the way for federal overreach. Democrats do not even tolerate dissent. Brianna Wu is one of the most blocked accounts on Bluesky. We need a competitive Libertarian Party to counter both sides.

Vice President Vance called for an end to our democracy a few days ago. In any other era, we would at least see a censure resolution. Instead, the opposition is focused on dumb tweets and what Elon Musk was wearing the other day.

South Africa has courts of law that protect the white minority. JD Vance came out the other day against Elon Musk having to listen to US courts. That is what is annoying about this stuff. Musk doesn’t care about non-white minorities losing their rights to challenge unconstitutional actions in court.
South African courts of law have held Julius Malema responsible for hate speech. He is a fringe figure within South African society. Musk pushes this video every couple of months because he knows people will never look up the whole story. It’s intended to turn America against our democratic allies.
