Why'd many union members flake to Trump last November? Did piss-poor leadership like that of Teamster Prez Sean O'Brien validate it? Will union members feel betrayed by gutting of #NLRB? "'Traitor': Trump-friendly union leader blasted for 'shameful' cozying up to GOP." www.alternet.org/sean-obrien/

This is Tim Walz's 2024 campaign visit to Iowa State Fair. Sad. Iowa was written off by the #DNC, a by-product of low interest in #IowaDems after dropping the First-In-The-Nation #IaCaucus. The GOP kept theirs & gained visibility while Dems had none. Triggered electoral slaughter? Yup. #IaPolitics

It’s amazing to me that politicians don’t commit to post first on @bsky.app and to engage with constituents here

THIS is more powerful than CNN , MSNBC, The Post will ever be.

You can broadcast for 9 mins on a declining medium, or engage here and start a real discussion.

Which is more powerful?

Today, MAGA is losing it over this video of Pete Hegseth SLAMMING Trump.

“All bluster, very low substance… he’s an armchair tough guy. He said that John McCain is not a war hero yet he sought his own five military deferments.”

RT to ruin Trump’s day!

It seems more than a little odd to see pictures of the Southern states covered in snow and nada in my frigid Midwestern state.

Why doesn't #MAGA see these invisible people doing God's work to try to save Los Angeles from these historic fires? Is it because of the innumerable #Hatebots unleashed by President Mush and his Orange Sidekick?

Many Latino immigrants in Los Angeles worked to extinguish some of the fires with hoses. They aren't firefighters, they were just helping people in other neighborhoods.
As Los Angeles burned, Latino immigrants rushed in to put out fires

Southern California is experiencing its most devastating winter fires in more than four decades.

Fires don’t usually blaze at this time of year, but specific ingredients have come together to defy the calendar in a fast and deadly manner.
It’s not really the typical time for nasty California fires. What are the factors that changed that?
Here’s what experts say is turning Southern California’s speedy wildfires into a deadly urban conflagration that is defying the calendar.

Are you trying to look like weak little imbeciles? That’s how you’re coming across. Drilling this “resist trump” message while taking no action to actually resist him is gaslighting. You’re quite literally doing nothing but talking out of your ass.

Donald Trump will be the first ever convicted felon to serve as President of the United States.

It's shameful, and we will work to hold him accountable.

This pic of me & #MichelleObama has a history! It was 2007 & I was chairing Iowa Democratic Veterans Caucus (IDVC) at #IaDem HQ in Des Moines. #IaCaucus season had barely begun & it was Michelle's very first campaign trip to IA. But she had no events, so came in unannounced. Boom! #IaPolitics

Want to know the job from hell? William A. Burck has it. Outside Ethics Advisor for the purpose of developing a series of internal policies and procedures to guide #Trump's company while he is in office. Care to guess how this meatball cooks?

The essence of Donald Trump. This is his moral core. It isn't pretty. He's even worse now than he was then. He lives for getting even, especially when he's the one who should apologize. Trump: During a 1992 interview with Charlie Rose, Donald Trump loyalty.
