People bitch, human nature's reaction to change... An hope that your view will clear to what is occurring Eileen Higgins elected mayor of Miami 1st since 97, taking the governor in Ny, New Jersey and Virginia and now a 17+ win in Born Again heartland... How many lifeboats do you need?

True, but generally for those folks that as far as it goes.... Sniping from the sidelines ... If ya don't know the rules your gonna be ruled.... It's what made McConnel so effective in opposition both in and out of majority.

Schumer is a parliamentarian, cool... As a senior advisor only, because he thinks and fights within those constraints. Instead of how to use our constitutional framework to fight with. I want leadership that does that.

And Trump trying to embarrass the British Royals by way of Andrew's connection to Epstein could lead to his own self-immolation. As he is unaware that they might have access to classified information unknown to the public and proof of Trump's knowledge of Epstein's crimes.

Soon, those deep in the lore and spiderweb of connections that is Epstein and the world he created, they will start filling in the blanks with hard truths and facts. My belief (hope) is that this will lead to a never ending trickle of info establishing ever closer ties of Trump to Epstein.

To be a fly on the wall for those discussions, OH MY!!! How bad is internal polling, that it necessitates a sit down with Trump by his handlers. To explain to him that the current and future political ramifications of ICE are so bad, releasing more Epstein files could help. IT WILL NOT!!

Can't imagine the horror you see and deal with. I weep for the country I served and have never been ashamed to be American before. Believe Walz stepped away to do just this. But his sacrifice allows her to campaign, win and continue that fight. Hope she proves me right with her voting, soon.

Hard to have that discussion if your so easily dismissive. Which is the exact theme of the post, you towards me for misspelling a name. Just as people making same choice about Klobuchar not engaging in ICE 24/7.

I did, will be more diligent moving forward with Names. As misspelling and incorrect pronunciation are ways to demean, and was not my intent, knowing my last name you'd be sure of this. An thoughts not about Minnesota, but about a way to bond across all states and citizens.

Which they have been tearing apart since Reaganomics. So as to be useless husks or just shuttered and lost forever. We are on the same 50yr timeline, just reset to 1980. It's time to fight and win again against the same assholes.

The 10% own about 70% of all assets. So We (90%) hold the rest, while it is WE that produces all the goods, services and value they hold. This is a fight we won starting in the 1880's to conclude with FDR and THE NEW DEAL PROGRAMS.

What we must aspire to do is pull a Fred Hampton on these fools and recognize that as Island groups of Citizens working individually to address this onslaught will not work. It only works by becoming a true workers movement and if you aren't in the top 10 % income bracket. YOU ARE WORKING CLASS!!!

That is what this administration is doing to us and they're not that bright or forward looking at all. They all constantly fire away like a circular firing squad, making Wile E Coyote look like THE ABSOLUTE "SUPER GENIUS".

And this administrations implementation of more than 50% of it as written, Vought (and his minions) should be as well known (and reviled) as Miller. We have to combat all this as a true community, knowing this must be tapestry of woven action.

We have to knit together a coalition of all these and more, by showing how catastrophic this administration along with its unelected tech bro billionaire legislators and Ideologues Miller,Vought & Bessent are to all of us at once by Trump's selection of Vought for OMB a major author of Project 2025

Rapid, if not violent collapse of a workforce and professions they worked years for.With sunk costs they'll never recover, but the loan will still be there. They have a massive stake in the coming AI Legislative sausage making, to insure they don't become cogs of that(those) future slave machine(s)

Many took advantage to lower risks that kill a fledgling young farm. Many as a result will not make it this year. And we haven't even considered what we should say/do for high school and college students about their prospects of future IE, student loans, tuition cost.

This was after farmers planted (thereby stranding/losing those input costs) and after the out of pocket costs to ready farm infrastructure for installation of renewable energy, that would vastly lower their long term energy costs. Rescinding/shuttering them, will destroy many young farmers who tried

They grow for local food pantries and more importantly our kids school cafeterias. The other was for renewable energy program with grants and low interest loans, only catch to get. Farmers had to make upgrades to their farm and practices to qualify. Trump Admin pulled both in the summer of 2025.

SNAP denial/restructure, health insurance, preschool and childcare/immigration/visa destruction (unless your a white Afrikaner, then welcome home), and two separate Billion Dollar program for Small Farmers. One brought yearly rolling renewed contracts that gave financial stability to small farmers.
