When student loan borrowers are in default, how does the Trump regime respond?

By garnishing their wages.

When billionaires see their wealth hit record highs, how does the Trump regime respond?

By extending their tax cuts.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

I’m old enough to remember when CBS News would never have surrendered to a demagogic president or any other politician. Remember Edward R. Murrow?

The person who made the decision to hold this story has never been a news reporter or a news editor. Really sickening.

Here's an idea: kick Demented Donnie out of the White House, arrest him, accept his plea of insanity, convict him, and send him to an asylum - in El Salvador.

Here's an idea: Rob Reiner's daughters should sue Trump for $20 billion dollars (evidently Trump's favorite number) for slander, defamation, inciting violence, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

The US is a “new” country built up with immigrants from everywhere.

With WW2, a lot more immigrants entered the country to escape fascist regimes or to escape threats of violence and war.

Now where are we?

In a fascist regime with threats of violence and war coming from the Putin-sponsored Felon.

Why don't Democratic congress people all have @bluesky accounts so they can read what the American people are saying. Sometimes I think they have little idea of what is going on.
