URGENT: The Senate might vote on a bill THIS WEEK that would turbocharge Trump’s corruption.

Interested in politics. Fiction writer. But I couldn't make up what is happening now!
And another thing.... Every time Trump asks a reporter "who are you with?" Reporters need to answer "the United States of America. Who are you with, sir?"
Good riddance. If he had any honor he would leave now, but Mike Johnson needs his vote so Republican sexual harassers need to stay around. Probably want to keep young female staffers away from him though.
Yeah they only care about that when Democrats are in charge. Repukelicans are evil, self serving bastards.
Cat Alyst 🏳️⚧️🇨🇦 (they/them)@catalystmeow.bsky.social · yesterdayThis is important to note! Republicans scheduled their Medicare cuts for January 2027. They want to say, “Look! The Democrats took back the House and cut your Medicare.” If you know someone on Medicare, expose the Republicans' dirty trick. #USDemocracy #MomSky #RepublicanMedicareCuts
Republicans didn’t take long to get the open bigotry going
Here’s an easy question for MAGA: If foreign countries were paying the tariffs, why has the Trump administration refunded $100 billion of the $166 billion in illegally collected tariffs to the importers who fronted the money that YOU paid? And you won’t see a dime of it. www.cnbc.com/2026/08/05/t...

Zelenskyy issued an update after massive attack on Kyiv: “As of now, 44 people have been reported injured in massive Russian strike on Kyiv and Kyiv region. Another 17 people, tragically, were killed. It was a heavy strike - 24 ballistic missiles (…) interceptors could’ve saved lives”
I have to say that Trump's reaction to, and fixation with, the RU investigation, long after the public stopped caring about it, is what I find to be the most convincing evidence that Mueller's team missed something. He's a bad liar who overcompensates and this is just like the 2020 results.
It’s the “Republican Economic Cycle”. Republicans cut taxes heavily during their time in power to “stimulate the economy”. When Democrats take over, Republicans pivot to opposing deficits (THEY just created) and demand spending cuts, making economic recovery slower and more politically contentious.
Local Resister@projectspacetime.bsky.social · 5h agoBe aware that MAGA's not done with us yet. They'll be voting solid Red Hat. AND... be aware that if Dems win the WH all they'll talk about is the national debt and that WILL destroy the Dem POTUS in office, leading once again to a MAGA POTUS. That cycle is endless and will never change.

Edwin López Cornejo's death is inexcusable. From Campbell County Detention Center to Delaney Hall, it is clear that ICE has no intention of providing the medical care required by law. We must shut it down. And I have the bill to do just that: HR 7190, the Melt ICE Act.

As an Ohioan, I don't need max miller to step down. The average voter has to see, accept, & internalize that miller is the republican party. Republicans were fine with trump. They were fine with clarence & kavenaugh on the court, hastert & jordan in the locker room, and so on. Make them own it.

Sen. BLUMENTHAL: ‘I’m his lawyer’ is what Todd Blanche said in his confirmation hearing. He had no intention of saying it, but he let it slip. And it was a glaring illustration of his mindset. He was, is now, and will forever be Donald Trump’s personal lawyer.
