I’m here because Twitter sucks, death scrolling is unhealthy, and to point out 36% of eligible voters is not a “mAnDaTe”!
who knew???
Sorry, but I’m all out of sympathy. Farmers who supported Trump should have known exactly what they’d be getting. After all, pretty much his entire campaign was based on his vitriolic hatred of undocumented workers, coupled with his idiotic tariff policy.

You reap what you sow, guys.

NEWS: U.S. and China agree to a 90-day pause on new tariffs after shipping to U.S. ports plummeted.

Tariffs on Chinese imports will be cut from 145% to 30%. Tariffs on U.S. imports will be cut from 125% to 10%.

If tariffs should result in massive job growth and make the U.S. rich, why lower them?

The VA has abruptly ended the only low-interest, affordable loan modification option for thousands of vets who are behind on their mortgages.

Russia kidnaps Ukrainian children and gives them to Russians to erase their heritage and demoralize Ukraine. Over 20,000 so far. And the US just stopped helping track these kids and likely deleted the database of all the research. Pure evil, right maga?

Do D's really want to pick a fight for someone blurring the line between supporting Hamas terrorists "in the name of" Palestinian children?

R's win this fight all day, IN SPITE OF the 1st Amendment. I don't like it... but I hate losing more.

14 House Dems Demanded Mahmoud Khalil’s Release. Where Are the Others?
All members of Congress swore oaths to defend the right to speak freely and assemble to petition for the redress of grievances. Why did so few of them sign this important letter?

Given developments at the Kennedy Center, effective today I am resigning as artistic advisor to the NSO.
Not for me.
It’s been a wonderful 8 years working with Kennedy Center President Deb Rutter, fellow artistic advisor Renee Fleming, NSO artistic administrator Justin Ellis, and the entire NSO

As Long as the @democraticparty.bsky.social ignores races that WILL lose, but are poised to build for the future, MO will never flip. My conversation with losing candidate Eric Morse (MO-89) highlights the opportunities and his advancement all alone in Mid-America.

This is a reminder that no one can convince Trump voters to no longer support Trump, better than Trump can.

The “smart” #Democrats need to listen more and “educate” less. In this episode I go to the rust belt source… home to a #USSteel plant that has been on the decline for 30 years. A traditionally reliable Blue-Union town that is largely #MAGA… and #Union.
Listen… Learn… Win.
