If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money.
That starts with banning super PAC donations in Dem primaries.
There’s no way the party can speak for the majority of working people in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

Mitch McConnell has made moral choices when it comes to voting against Trump's egregious Cabinet picks.

If it were not for Mitch McConnell's immoral choices and thwarting the rules of the Senate when he was in power, we would not be where we are today.
Self serving, that side of the isle.

U.S. Aid amounts to $58 billion. Musk and Trump have branded it as waste, fraud, and abuse.
One single person, Elon Musk, holds wealth valued at $400 billion, only because of hundreds of billions in U.S. government subsidies he has successfully taken.
Where is the real waste fraud and abuse?

A serial liar with a mighty propaganda machine working overtime for him has convinced half the country that up is down, that honor is venality, and that integrity is just a ruse for suckers who believe all that garbage from our schoolbooks.
Trump’s A.G. Just Did Something So Corrupt She Should Be Fired Already

President Trump campaigned on lowering costs. But he’s letting billionaire Elon Musk and Project 2025 Architect Russ Vought kill the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
If they succeed, CEOs on Wall Street will once again be free to cheat you out of your savings.

Trump's acting CFPB director (Scott Bessent) stopped the agency's work, which includes:
-Capping credit card rates and excessive fees
-Penalizing banks for ripping off consumers
-Preventing politically-motivated debanking
It's a victory for Wall Street at your expense.

a genuinely great line
Catching up on @strictscrutiny.bsky.social and the line he is “if a frat paddle became a real boy” made me guffaw. There is nothing funny about this incoming administration, so at least point out the absurd with wit and humor.
