Absolutely 💯 “The best legacy we can leave our children isn't more infrastructure. It's healthier rivers, cleaner lakes, and protected aquifers.”
Honestly is anyone surprised? I'm not. This is what you get when you elect a criminal who wants to be king to be President. Project 2025 told us exactly what was going to happen. And here we are.
I’m glad the President has his priorities straight.
States with the lowest literacy rates shouldn’t be banning books, they should be reading them

Michigan Democrats chose Abdul El-Sayed because he’s a fighter willing to stand up to the tyrant in the Oval Office. Corporate Democrats like Chuck Schumer aren't up to the task because they won’t bite the corporate hands that feed them.
The Real Meaning of El-Sayed's Victory
It's not what you're hearing

Apple got a $2.2 billion tariff refund check. Amazon got $600 million.: Walmart got $10 Billion. So basically they got to raise all the prices then cash in?
In a country with a president who is such a destructive sore loser, politicians who are both helpful and gracious in defeat is a greatly appreciated novelty.
Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.

All Republicans are either rapists, pedophiles, or don't care that the others are.
The time is coming when enough is enough. Let them eat cake will be too much. Somehow those in power either don't see this or are so afraid they deny it. When the civil war comes, don't be surprised.
I can't disagree with this. I am brown. Have experienced racism. This is white nationalism for their own sake. Not our country.
If you aren't angry then you aren't paying attention.
God bless my nerdy kids watching the election results. Lol. Tear of pride.
Will not disagree. Corporations received their share. Raised their price. We didn't have a choice other than to buy or not. We deserve the rebate, not them. Corporations are soulless and whiny. We are the victims, not them. Grow up, America.

Here is the thing. I am an old man. Ripe with age and maybe not so much wisdom. I have always walked my own path. I am not afraid of my government. It needs to be afraid of me. I have nothing to lose. I have lived my life and I am resisting. I will fight.
📌Susan Collins is voting "no" on the repulsive Blanche because she has been given political cover by Thune. Her vote doesn't matter. This isn't a heroic decision, it is pure politics, and whether anybody wants to admit it or not it's how she has survived like a parasite in that chamber for 30 years.
Microsoft: $101 BILLION in profits. $12.5 BILLION in tax breaks. $176 BILLION in stock buybacks. 4,800 workers fired this week. 9,000 workers fired last year. Please don't tell me trickle-down economics works. It never did. Nothing trickles down.
Hey journalists, stop saying somebody "destroyed" Trump with their questions or testimony. He is not destroyed and keeps wrecking our lives. False hope does us no good
