it's not the most important issue right now but I would *really* like to see Democrats who want to be president announcing in no uncertain terms that anything this goober manages to carve his name on, it comes off. anything he builds, it gets torn down.

At a time when solar and wind are the cheapest forms of new energy in the world, Trump wants to open a BILLION acres of US water to oil drilling.

Why? To line the pockets of his fossil fuel billionaire friends.

The rest of the world moves forward, we get left behind.
Breaking News: President Trump plans to open 1.3 billion acres of U.S. waters to drilling. It is one of Trump’s most significant steps yet to increase the production of fossil fuels, as dozens of countries have been calling for a phaseout of oil, gas and coal.
Trump Plans to Open More Than a Billion Acres of U.S. Waters to Drilling
The plan from the Interior Department is one of the president’s most significant steps yet to increase domestic fossil fuel production.

The DOT also reportedly plans to rescind requirements that airlines disclose junk fees. It's also planning to redefine what flight cancellations would require refunds for passengers.

Both Delta and United gave $1 million to the Trump inauguration fund.

Everything is for sale.
BREAKING: The Trump administration is officially withdrawing a Biden-era plan to require airlines to pay passengers cash compensation when flight disruptions are caused by the airlines.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Congrats to everyone who put Republicans in charge "for the economy," the first three quarters of 2025 already had more layoffs than any of the years in which Biden or Obama was President except 2009 (when Dems were still cleaning up the prior Republican mess).

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

No president in modern history has done more to actively set back cancer research than Donald Trump. No president in modern history has done more to reduce the access to health care of kids (and grown ups) than Donald Trump. That's the record. The WH is offering lies.
