Of the 133 million households in America, 67% are living paycheck to paycheck (Investopedia). That's 89 million households (re: math).

California Dreamin’… 😎@jerasikehorn.bsky.social · last wk.

In a recent interview with CNBC, Trump bragged, "I've made a tremendous amount of money, more than I would have ever thought I would have made”… As millions of Americans struggle, this is what your president actually thinks about… Certainly, not you. Thoughts?

Everyone is saying America won't vote for a woman. I'm not so sure. It's possible that, if James Comey hadn't derailed Hillary, she might have been the first (look at the margins, then again when Kamala ran). What about voting for a Jew? Ossoff won his seat in GEORGIA. AOC/Ossoff ticket?

Actually, AOC'S War Chest Is Closer To $16 Million As Of July, And Most of Her Donations Are From Small $17-21 Dollar Donations So Does She Try To Take Out Chuck Schumer, Or Run For President in 2028 ? What Say You, People.......🫵🏻?

TODAY'S HERO I couldn't find a clip, but that woman who heckled Hegeseth at his Congressional hearing is today's hero. Anyone get her name? The hearing itself: I simply don't have what it takes to watch it, and I don't know how you all do it. Even the transcript lights me on fire.

"...desperate and insubstantial..." What? Maybe I'm misreading you here, but he's got the military, the National Guard, Congress, and SCOTUS in his back pocket. He sits on more power than any other president in history.

“Is the plethora of lies & threats reaching a crescendo that will eventually collapse…making it stunningly obvious how desperate and insubstantial is the foundation upon which the regime sits? Put more bluntly, have most Americans tired of the constant crap?” www.americaamerica.news/p/will-the-t...

There's an amazing amount of climate mischief occurring all around the planet. The flooding in China is beyond epic, as is/was the heatwave in Europe, and El Niño is about to make everything worse. Meanwhile, Antarctica's pending Thwaites Glacier collapse could raise sea levels in the Med.

Your 'moment of doom' for July 18, 2026 ~ Bonkers alert! "Civilization is currently living through break-neck climate change. It’s reflected in erratic climate system behavior. The entire global system has gone bonkers, unpredictable, ecosystems threatened everywhere."

ALL NEW HIGHS! Trump's "speech" last night confirmed that his administration has reached an all-new level of insanity. He has the military, GOP Congress, and SCOTUS in his pocket, and I will not be surprised if I wake up tomorrow to learn Ben Meiselas of Meidas Touch has been arrested for sedition.

ARE WE LIVING IN A POLICE STATE? I believe we're getting there. They don't happen everywhere or to everyone all at once (if you're an immigrant living in Texas or Florida, you're in a police state). It happens incrementally—we can already feel it coming. hartmannreport.com/p/police-sta...

Police State: Are We Already There and Just Don't Know It?

History shows that police states aren't declared: they're assembled piece by piece, until one day ordinary people realize the freedoms they once took for granted have quietly disappeared…

Until now, I wasn't fully aware of what Major Watson is now facing as a result of his speaking out on all of our behalfs. He deserves our full respect:

Jess Craven ❌👑@jesscraven101.bsky.social · 4w ago

Air Force Major Jason Watson called for Trump and Vance’s impeachment — in uniform, on the Capitol steps, alone. Here’s why that’s a much bigger risk than it looks, and exactly what he could lose under military law. Major Watson—THANK YOU FOR YOUR COURAGE!

I viewed Matt Damon's casting in The Odyssey the same way I viewed Kevin Costner's in Robin Hood, so I'm a bit anxious waiting for his film. Regardless, this is an interesting and fun dive into The Odyssey's actual production (and one not involving AI): collider.com/matt-damon-t...

Matt Damon Breaks Down the Bizarre Camera Hack That Made Christopher Nolan’s 'The Odyssey' Possible

He also explains why the best way to watch the movie is in IMAX 70mm.

This tells you all you need to know about where America has landed. Who knew that if you took the lids off all of the sewers, these people would emerge? Trump knew. You have to give him credit for that. Reminder: The majority of those who voted in Nov 2024 voted for him.

Patriot Front headed to the Mall in DC. Seems a questionable way to dress for 100+ degree weather. Sure hope none of these little fascist twerps gets heat stroke . . .

David Stone@david-stone.bsky.social · last mo.

Their anxiety is not surprising. Up to 76% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, a crisis that now extends to higher-income earners. 40% of households earning $100k are reporting stress in meeting their monthly expenses (Ramsey Solutions: Income).

The Guardian spoke with readers across the United States who said the country’s 250th anniversary is being overshadowed by deep political division, with many describing feelings of anxiety, embarrassment, and disillusionment about the nation’s direction under the Trump administration.
