Prices are soaring, your 401k is in the tank, Social Security phone lines are hours long.
Instead of addressing any of that – this administration is picking a fight with Denmark.

The secretary of transportation went on Fox & Friends this morning and trashed air travel, portraying the current air traffic control system as a disaster, and then claimed taking public transit is "dangerous."

The Constitution is built on checks and balances, and it’s unacceptable for the president to defy court orders simply because he doesn’t like them.

On a scale from 1 to “The fury of the burning fire of a thousand suns,” how mad do you think Judge Boasberg will be at Trump and Rubio laughing about defying his court order?

I’m so tired of hearing Rubio & other rightwingers now claiming that if you’re on a green card you’re a ‘guest’ in this country. BS. You’re a lawful permanent resident. The clue is in the name. If someone is a permanent resident in your home, are they the same as the guests who come and go? Come on.

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ?
They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses.
That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue.
The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns.
Well, the planet is burning.
Don't let them look away.

More good news from this administration! Thanks to the FAA Reauthorization Law and Secretary Buttigieg's push for stronger protections for passengers, any flight voucher given to passengers for significantly delayed or canceled flights must now be redeemable for at least 5 years before it expires.

It's really not about leaving the other platforms. It's about bringing people here and giving them more engagement than the other apps.
That's what people want. Engagement. Takes nothing to offer it
If there is a user on another app that you like, DM them and invite them here. Post and tag me
