Way to go Dems, we had a great night last night.
I know you want to ride on this momentum, but can we please hold off on the texts and emails for a week, maybe ten days?
I really need a break from being bombarded by everyone asking for money.

My 2026 Allegheny County Pennsylvania health plan has gone up by 20% or $200/month. I would have to drop down to a $9200 deductible bronze plan to save enough to make changing plans worth it and even then, that plan is still $807/month. @deluzio.house.gov @fetterman.senate.gov

Ancestry DNA just updated my origins results and it now shows that I am 2% Ukranian so now my neighbors can shut up about me flying the Ukranian flag in support of Ukraine during the Russian invasion.

I like BlueSky and their generous link policy, but I am annoyed by links out to paywalled sites, especially when the site is actively generating ad revenue.

You can amuse a cat by playing bird videos for them, lately I have found that you can amuse me by opening the Flightradar24 app and I will scroll around for hours looking at active flights and trying to guess the type of plane based on the plane icon size (I am not very accurate).

After listening to Trumps rambling about Autism, Tylenol, and vaccines, I have to ask, who exactly do I need to give my address to so that I can be raptured in the first wave tomorrow?

If Trump is so keen on increasing manufacturing in the U.S. and creating great, high paying jobs, why is he being so dodgy on allowing Ukraine to buy U.S. made weapons?

Any member of the House or Senate that votes in favor of a bailout to farmers or industries hurt by Trump’s new tariff plan needs to be primaried in their next election. Trump owns the fallout of this plan not the U.S. taxpayer who will end up paying the tariff AND the bailout.

Happy Liberation Day to all those that celebrate unnecessary trade wars because the orange idiot can’t comprehend that tariffs are ultimately paid by the consumer.

It is truly impossible to express in words the level of disgust I have for Trump/MAGA/Musk. We are barely one month into his presidency. I am an atheist, but this is one time I wish there was a god that could step in and save us.

Okay, finally Trump has done something I can support since recently I had some tests done and the hospital (which is owned by my BC/BS carrier) told me that I had just a $35 co pay, then my BC/BS carrier completely denied the claims and now I am facing a $5k bill

@gochag.bsky.social is one of the most important young voices I have run across on the subject of Georgian, if not all European, politics. His current thread lays out a very detailed case on why every western country needs to be backing the fight to restore a democracy free from Russian influence.
In today’s thread, I’ll break down why the West, from a purely pragmatic standpoint, cannot afford to let the Republic of Georgia 🇬🇪 slip into the hands of Russia, China, and Iran.🧵The stakes are high, and here’s why.

We are not 24 hours into the Trump presidency, and I am already seeing posts, from accounts that I normally would trust, that have false or misleading information in the rush to post an "outrage" and garner views/likes.

One of Biden's executive orders (Executive Order 14004) Trump reversed allowed for all persons regardless of gender identity to serve in the US military, so Trump has now effectively banned transgendered individuals from the US military.
