Q: Do you both think raising the retirement age is decreasing Social Security benefits? Iowa Republican Sen. candidate Ashley Hinson: If you're 20 years old, it's a very different conversation than if you're at retirement age Josh Turek: I'm not in favor of raising the retirement age.
I hope you’re sitting down for this. Remember when President Pedo promised to stop using taxpayer money for ads? Well, he lied again.
Leaked audio of Minnesota Republican candidate Michele Tafoya's advice to Americans concerned with skyrocketing prices: "Maybe you take one less trip to Starbucks... Let’s just try to be patriots about this."
“Trump has made more stock trades than every member of Congress combined” 🤯
Leaked audio of Michigan Republican Sen. candidate Mike Rogers mocking Americans struggling with skyrocketing prices: "Oh my gosh, coffee went up. You know, horror!"
This MFer appointed the past *two* Fed chairs. He’s about a month away from claiming Biden started the war in Iran.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 20h agoTrump blames the Fed for sky high mortgage rates: "You have a board that would like to see the country do badly, in my opinion, because I think interest rates should come down"
If you hire a marketer to do an actual admin position, you get dragged into situations where mantras like “DRAIN THE SWAMP” were always going to be slogans contrived to hide flaws and shortcomings. It reminds me of when TANG could justify “more vitamin C than OJ” by saying it has no orange juice 🤷♂️
The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · 22h ago$6 BILLION. Of taxpayer money. While the Hunter Biden hunters stay silent. Obscene.
And the worst part is how hard the soldiers are working to NOT run too far ahead of him! Yup…I think I can now see where we need to start cutting to get to a “no fatties warrior ethic!!!”

Rob Sand: On day one, I think one of the things that we could do is cap the fees that utilities are charging their users. We don't want to see people tightening their own belt by using less electricity, but then have the utility companies come out and say, 'we're going to increase your fees instead'

🧵1/2 I’m NOT a fan, Doug Burgum, but don’t (continue to) sell your soul to please Trump & the uneducated. YES, ND produces a LOT of fracked oil; it ALSO gets more than 1/3 of its electricity from wind & 6% from hydro. As former Gov, you know green energy and climate change. You also know water.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayBurgum: "You don't the word 'climate change' as much as you did two years ago, because the legs have been knocked out from under that movement"
Trump is the first president to call for America to be attacked. And his Republican allies said nothing. They don't care about you, or the country. Vote Democratic this November. The future of America depends on it. youtu.be/DhIeyeqI2Ng

UPDATE: Trump just awarded another $3 BILLION military contract to a company backed by his son Don Jr. (and Peter Thiel) — what skilled businessmen these Trumps are! Robbing the American taxpayer in broad daylight.
A 911 call from Salem, Oregon, describes a disturbing encounter in which a woman was screaming that she was a U.S. citizen as ICE goons broke her vehicle window and forcibly pulled her out. According to reporting on the call, the woman suffered a concussion, torn rotator cuff and bruised ribs.
Ummm…might want to grab a mirror, stare in it for some time, and then see the answer to the question: “Who is responsible for this horrible economy made worse by a war of choice with Iran that ONLY benefits Benjamin Netanyahu and keeps the Epstein Files hidden?”
Headquarters@headquartersnews.bsky.social · 2d agoQ: What is the number one issue for American voters in the midterms? Trump: I don't know exactly
Still telling the “vandalism” lie not a single soul believes 🤥
Mike Johnson is not a trustworthy negotiating partner. He lies as part of his religion.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoMike Johnson: "The Iranian are not trustworthy negotiating partners. They lie as part of their religion."
Even though I am very familiar with the etymology & meaning of the Biblical word “Moloch”; THIS IS VERY MUCH a demonstration of the more colloquial definition—a horrible diety who demands that his followers sacrifice their children upon his golden altar for his glory.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoTrump on his meeting with Gold Star families: "I invited them out to check out the new helipad, check out the new ballroom, and check out the new helicopter"
On my most gracious and generous days, I fear that there are a handful of charlatans (and their young, blonde partners) taking advantage of this demented, elderly man who SHOULD BE HOME safe in his Florida care facility BUT gets trotted out for their financial gain. Then I remember: He’s a lying 🫏
The obliviousness of THIS WHOLE CROWD is beyond comprehension. We MUST toss all of them on the scrap heap of history as they get their rocks off standing high above our mere peasantry.
Headquarters@headquartersnews.bsky.social · 2d agoI’m still flabbergasted by this— for SO MANY REASONS! Here’s another one: IN THEORY, Trump is trying to encourage GOP turnout & support. The man has endorsed Steve Hilton who is running to replace Gavin Newsom as Governor of California. I’M NOT SURE SOCAL REPUBLICANS WILL BE EXCITED BY THIS! 🤷♂️
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3d agoTrump: "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay ... let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."
The price that the country has to pay so that these weak, ineffective, low self-esteem losers can pretend that they are part of the cool kids table. 🤦♂️
