Why do people only supposedly get the $5,000 if Republicans win in November? Republicans control everything and have for 2 years. Why didn’t they do it before? Why don’t they come back into session tomorrow and pass it right now? Because it’s all a lie, like everything else.

Trump announced 17 MONTHS AGO that everyone was going to get $5,000 checks because of DOGE cuts. You got $0.

If they really wanted to give everyone $5k they could do it right now

Revlimid has its origin in a pill that cost patients $7.50 each. Decades later, the cancer drug costs more than $18,000 for a month’s supply — even though it still only costs about 25 cents to manufacture. (Published May 2025)

Scott Bessent: "In 15 short months, we've gone from a president who couldn't stay awake to a president who never sleeps!" …unless he's at a cabinet meeting, a press conference, a parade, a sporting event…

New study finds people who mainly use AI chatbots for companionship tend to report lower well-being, especially if they have fewer friends or social connections. The link is stronger when people spend a lot of time talking to the chatbot or share more personal information with it.

We overcame one Gilded Age and we can overcome this one. Time for a new square deal like TR’s 3 C’s: Corporate control, Consumer protection and Conservation of natural resources. Happy Labor Day.

Trump posted these images on his social media platform and the vibe is Darth Vader saying “are we the baddies”

Bill Kristol@billkristolbulwark.bsky.social · 2y ago

I think this should be kind of a big deal: Elon Musk tweeting at 1:03am, “Only the AfD can save Germany.” The AfD is Germany’s neo-Nazi party.

I'm hardly the first person to say this, but they wouldn't be working so hard to take away your right to vote if they weren't so scared of what you could do with it.

I don’t care what party you belong to – if you can’t agree to not profit off your position, you have no business being in public office and it’s time to go.

U.S. Envoy Steve Witkoff to Putin: “When we retire we’ll have all these incredible stories and memories and yours will be right at the top of it all."

Not self-defense. The Greater Israel Project. Why does it never get talked about out in American media?

Mike Nellis@mikenellis.bsky.social · 6d ago

Trump just admitted Ossoff was right when he said the president is building monuments to himself because he knows nobody is going to do it when he’s dead and gone.

Americans for Tax Fairness@4taxfairness.bsky.social · 6d ago

Since the Iran war started, Americans have paid $71.5 BILLION more at the pump. Big Oil has raked in $125 BILLION in profits over the same period. The President made up to $15.5 million personally from his oil stock holdings. This isn't trickle-down. This is bleed-up.

I wish our government would go after pedophiles like they go after brown men headed to work at 7 am. I wish they would close billionaire tax loopholes like they close our public schools. I wish they would fund healthcare like they fund forever wars in the Middle East.

“63 farmers a day”😕 American farmers 🧑‍🌾 are getting crushed by Trump’s pointless war and absurd trade wars, and Republicans in Congress do nothing

They just got back from 5 more weeks off, after multiple other very long vacations. They never work.

Missouri Republicans got a massive defeat on Thursday, as the state Supreme Court ruled against their mid-decade gerrymander designed to chop up Kansas City and send 7 Republicans to Congress, reported St. Louis Public Radio.

It's nuts that Republicans in Congress DRAGGED Secretary of Defense LLoyd Austin through hearings for going to the doctor one day, but Mitch McConnell is out for four months and that's totes fine.

The surveillance company named after an evil wizard’s all seeing eye has created an app that allows the secret police force to target individuals which could be used against American citizens.

For years people have attributed some secret political acumen to Trump when all he did was win the furthest right-faction of the GOP when the rest of the party was completely factionalized. After that he has entirely benefited from the party protecting him despite his damage to it.
