One thing I dislike about the current functionality of Bluesky & The App Formerly Known as Twitter is that article tiles don’t show the entire title of the article, so I have to click on it to see it’s entirety, resulting in one (or all) of my free articles being taken away, just to read the title.

Thanks for protecting the beautiful Black women wearing MAGA hats from rapists, rapist.
Trump: "I love those women. Black women, beautiful women, wearing MAGA hats. And they're all over the place in Chicago. They want protection. They don't care if it's the National Guard, if it's the Army, Marines, they'll take Space Force. They just don't want to be mugged, killed, raped,."

Quite the assertion from a guy who is suspected to be a closeted gay man who lives with his male pastor and whose wife has an organization that’s sole purpose is to “get the gay out” of you.
Mike Johnson: "The last time I checked, Americans have more freedom right now to express themselves and speak their minds after Republicans took over ... it is the Republicans who restored your right to share and speak your mind."

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants
Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

You know what’s interesting? That talking heads & politicians say “taxpayer’s” should have their votes given the most weight because they are the ones investing in their community…
Yeah, so remind me who it is who doesn’t pay taxes & are actually who is given the most power & authority?

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work.
You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules.
Get your lies straight.

You know who would be good to ask for a jet? Qatar.
Just got word that Secretary Noem is asking for an addition to her budget - a new private Gulfstream 5 jet for her personal national photo op tour. She's already got a private plane but wants a tricked out new one.
All while she supports kicking 13 million people off Medicaid.

And the eligible documents required to get a passport are a social security card, birth certificate, government issued ID & so on top of the $130 (& 90 day wait to get a passport) there is much more to plan making it very obviously a tactic to INTENTIONALLY BE BURDENSOME TO KEEP WOMEN FROM VOTING
Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name.
It is blatantly unconstitutional.

It always boggles my mind that I, a journalist, am expressly forbidden from trading stocks, but members of Congress, with vastly greater knowledge of market-moving news, are allowed to profit by front-running markets, and so may profit by in essence stealing from the public they represent.

It’s a recalibration of economic control.
Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way.
When the dust finally settles, they will own more.
The rest of us will own less. A lot less.
