The CR passed in the House will provide a blank check for Trump and Musk to continue their savage war against working families, the elderly, children, the sick and the poor in order to lay the groundwork for massive tax breaks for billionaires.

This is a bill I cannot support.

Just thinking about what the US looked like before the EPA existed

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.

The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.

Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps.

87% of jobs at Amazon pay less than $20 an hour while half of its warehouse workers struggle to cover food and housing costs.

"Drain the swamp."

This is Oligarchy. The three richest men in the world have become $196 BILLION richer since Donald Trump was elected.

$196 billion for three men in 99 days.

Meanwhile, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

Powering the world with clean energy is common sense. It will secure the future for our grandchildren. The clean energy transformation is - and remains - unstoppable www.globalcitizen.org/en/content/t...

The combined net worth of Trump's small circle of inauguration attendees yesterday is over $1 trillion.

Remember that when Trump said "I am your voice," this is who he was talking to.

I have and will continue to. But you know why I say it here ? Because @bsky.app is 30m strong and growing quickly. The collective wisdom and influence of users here is far greater than any individual democrat.

I can't say it enough. Bluesky can be the influence that can counter RW media.
