Due process is important. So is the economy. We’re not talking enough about how Trump is on the verge of plunging our economy into a recession.

This is not what a man who is going to reverse course says. Brace for impact. He doesn’t care about the repercussions or the American people.

@repgreglandsman.bsky.social this is a very good opinion piece on Democrats getting back to what they used to stand for www.ncronline.org/opinion/ncr-...
Will Democrats finally start to place class issues at the center?
Are Democrats finally coming to grips with why they lost the 2024 election? Are they grappling with how they came to be so untrusted by the working class?

@mcuban.bsky.social would you or your HR team let someone go (layoff or firing) by email? Just checking to see if that’s the normal way to treat employees.

Democrat elected officials need to change their messaging and strategy. Bipartisanship didn’t work for the last two years and won’t for the next. You don’t get extra points for being bipartisan. Republicans don’t negotiate in good faith.

Just sent an email to the Cincinnati Archdiocese asking for a liberal church (for lack of a better term) that is welcoming instead of excluding. I cited the Trump support from Catholics and the insertion of the hierarchy into the culture wars. Wonder what response I will receive?

Nancy Mace, her arm in a sling, threatens the media on the Benny Johnson show: "I have a warning for any media outlet that says I wrongly, falsely accused this guy of physically accosting me, of assaulting me. That is defamation. So I would be walking on eggshells if I were you"
