Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me.
There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine.
The trade deficit argument SOUNDS compelling, but it’s a straw man with no relevancy

Okay now Sens. Cory Booker and Chris Coons (a Yale Divinity School grad) are literally just having a lengthy discussion of scripture and the Bible on the Senate floor right now.
Religious left: still a thing.

Thurmond was the same age as Booker when he set the record Senator Cory Booker just broke.
Thurmond was afforded a bathroom break and read from the encyclopedia. Booker held the floor the entire time and delivered a consistent, cogent speech for more than 24 hours.
Incredible.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.
What will you do?

In the 2015 year report the USDA-APHIS website records show a cattle death loss in the state of Idaho of over 41,000, 29,000 of which died of what amounts to neglect, lack of food, water, shelter or fresh air.
Wolves killes ~300
But ranchers blame their failed business model on the wolves.

Awhile ago I expressed my confusion why Dems don’t have her front and center because she is good at this. “…not because I’m a Marxist but because I was a waitress” is top tier.
Someone said “because she’ll succeed” and it’s been fucking me up since.
It’s hard to be too cynical for me to process😂

AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person.
I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person
I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.

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?

Everyone reading this page must play a role in stopping the madness. Today I want to focus on some hard work with family/friends. We all have people we love who voted for Trump. Many have been sucked in by lies and misinformation. I know it feels hopeless, but we need you to talk to them.

This. Shout this from the rooftops. Add in the propaganda that tricks voters into thinking this is the American way and you’ve got the MAGA playbook.
🧵I know what the Trump administration is doing to the country because they’ve already done it to rural America.
They stripped public schools of funding. They closed our hospitals. They sold family farms for parts. They let our infrastructure rot. And then they gerrymandered us to keep us quiet.

I’m old enough to remember the Repubs in the Senate using the filibuster on things such as voting rights & reproductive rights!
The Senate Dems should hear from their constituents ahead of the vote… the R’s should be forced to negotiate & the only way is if they filibuster and hold the line.

The financial headlines are brutal right now. It’s almost like the experts are shocked that a six-times bankrupt reality TV show host was elected president and is running the United States economy straight into a ditch.
