Overall Excess Risk: JAMA Internal Medicine Study examining over 538,000 deaths in Florida and Ohio found that the overall excess death rate for Republican voters was 2.8 percentage points (about 15%) higher than for Democratic voters through the end of 2021. Trump does depend on his stupid
The fact that they say they were anticipating how this would all go bothers me more than anything else in that sentence. So, was Pepsi in the room with the Trumpstain the day when they decided to attack Iran? We know the big oil companies were.
@bethbramble.bsky.social · 4w agoPepsiCo CEO reveals customers are buying fewer snacks because of the rising gas prices: "I think the consumer is worse off than what we had anticipated. And it's driven mainly by gas prices."
Cable news talking heads are really out here casually suggesting we start World War III over oil prices. "Take the strait, hold the strait"—sure, let’s just occupy an international shipping lane and see how that goes.
Vance: A lot of the people who are going and getting 4-year degrees, they're not like engineers and doctors. They have fake jobs. (What is he talking about...? Looks like he's the one with the 'fake' job!)

Florida voters on Trump's Iran war: "He Was Supposed to Be a 'No War' President and now we're at war...He thought this was going to be simple. It's more complex than that.
Fox: "I think JD Vance, on economics, just generally does not understand the role of capitalism and investment and so forth." If even Fox understands that Vance is clueless, shouldn't every Republican be able to grasp this too?
@beatwithari.bsky.social Ari, you could be a little nicer to Nicolle Wallace during the handoff. I understand that you have news to get to, but it looks to the MS NOW audience, like you don’t like her. You are not doing yourself any favors by being so short with her. Do better.
They want us tired. They want us discouraged. They want us to believe our vote doesn't count. John Lewis knew better. He marched. He bled. He believed. July 17-19, we honor him by refusing to be silenced. #GoodTrouble Lives On www.goodtroubleliveson.org
Trump muses about appointing Ted Cruz to the Supreme Court. "I guarantee he'd get 100 votes in the Senate." No!!!!! Just no!!! 🤢
Trump didn’t drain the swamp—he gave it a gold-leaf presidential suite. He works for one man: himself. $4B richer while sitting in a public trust. This isn’t politics, it’s a heist. No king, no foreign power ever came this close to breaking American self-government.
Trump: I want them (billionaires) to be tremendously successful. (And the rest of us, dear leader? We already know what you want for the rest of us: poverty, disease, and, worst of all, disenfranchisement.)
CNN: Trump says the same company that was given a multi-million dollar, no-bid contract to renovate the Reflecting Pool will tackle its already much needed repair.
Trump flat-out admits he doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situation. Believe him. When he blocks housing relief and cheers on higher prices, that’s what it looks like in action. Your rent isn’t keeping him up at night—and that’s the problem.
More people are out of work than there are jobs and Trump’s answer is to block housing relief. Families are scrambling for paychecks and a place to live while he holds a bipartisan bill hostage for his own political power. It’s cruel on purpose.
Governor Wes Moore: "We had to sue POTUS because he's trying to get access to unredacted voter logs, nationalize elections, cancel mail in ballots. Maryland House already passed redistricting. Senate stalled. We will call a special session. Doing nothing was never on the table."
Utterly barking mad; obsessed, and living in a fantasy world.

How is his narative getting any traction with him dimwit followers? Anyone who has swam in a concrete pool knows that it is impossible to peel the paint off the inside of the pool. His lackeys fucked up the job.

A fed judge has ordered Elon Musk to swear under oath that his $1M/day ‘random’ voter giveaway was legit. His own America PAC director said he was ‘surprised’ by that claim. So were the voters whose data got harvested. Funny how that works.
Per Sen. Padilla, Trump’s two-step is simple: pass the SAVE Act to suppress the vote, then veto a bipartisan housing bill that would’ve cut costs for working families. He didn’t just make housing more expensive — he had a fix on the table and walked away from it
One man's fight to honor his husband became a right for millions. Eleven years ago, SCOTUS legalized marriage equality nationwide. Watch Obama call Jim Obergefell (6/26/15): "You're going to bring about a lasting change in this country and it's pretty rare when that happens."
