1% of the country owns more wealth than the middle class. Why? Because Washington spent decades fighting for the rich instead of working families, and Trump has taken it to a new level. November is our chance to elect leaders who actually give a shit about working people.
I wish we had the kind, knowledgeable, and strong leadership they have in Canada and Mexico, instead of the "nasty," illiterate rhetoric we're stuck with here.
FactPost@factpostnews.bsky.social · 3h agoTrump: Canada is nasty. They are. They are nasty. The people are nasty. And Mexico.
Although corporations are reporting exceptional quarterly earnings, there remains a stark disconnect between Wall Street and the American middle class When daily survival becomes a battle and people can barely afford gas, no amount of corporate profit is going to make the public cheer #Reality
Blue Oleta@blue-oleta.bsky.social · 6h agoApple 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?
El-Sayed, Lawrence and McKinney all won progressive campaigns in Michigan last night by talking about climate and clean energy like it was a kitchen-table issue — because skyrocketing energy bills and endless wildfire smoke matter to people.
The United States Treasury: An ATM for the Rich and Powerful
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

😂 The investors must be a bit slow. In a world of genocide, people struggling from wars, AID being taken away for DEI purposes, food and gas limiting not just the present but the future for all children, Musk says the Moon with humanoid robots are his target and he builds AI data centers.

The 1980s called. Why are we fighting yesterday’s trade wars? I’ve wondered what is so different about economics from 1980 to today. Why are the current policies so dated? It makes so much more sense from an 1980s and 1990s perspective. Please take a quick read:

HCR connects the dots on elite finances: Capital One dropping Trump for money laundering flags, major banks hiding Epstein’s trafficking funds, and Trump selling traders early access to his posts for $100k/mo. Brazen elite (and deep-state) #exploitation and #corruption.
August 4, 2026
On Friday night, a court filing from Capital One denied there was any political motivation behind the closure of more than 380 bank accounts in the names of Donald Trump and the Trump Organization.

Sen Wyden spent 3+ years investigating #Epstein’s money. P66-67 asks for more investigation “DOJ must conduct criminal investigations into Darren Indyke, Richard Kahn, Harry Beller and other Epstein aides.” The bankers knew. That’s sick. #NoProtection www.finance.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.gov · yesterdayBombshell new report out from my investigators this morning spanning our four year investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s financial records. This report shows exactly how Wall Street protected Epstein and enabled his sex trafficking for decades. Mega thread following with some key points:
An #Epstein report was released today! “Senator Wyden announced that he had learned Deputy Attorney General Todd #Blanche, Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer, had intervened to block the DEA from complying with Wyden’s request.” #WallStreet #Coverup www.finance.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

"Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them." ― Margaret Atwood
The white shoes symbolize the medical professionals who lost their lives while providing care. The installation was organized as a peaceful memorial and a call for greater protection of healthcare workers in conflict zones.
Watching the T-regime’s daily briefings on the war has become pure fiction. Every day they claim a peace deal or a reopened strait is "hours away," and every day the other side publicly denies it. It’s not diplomacy; it’s just desperate PR for a failing six-month disaster. #Desperation #Stupidity
@pissed-off-g.bsky.social · 23h agoSen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) sparked outrage Tuesday after being captured on video agreeing to meet with survivors of Jeffrey Epstein – only to snub them moments later. "They sat in his office for 45 minutes before his staff told them he wasn’t coming." www.rawstory.com/jeffrey-epst...

Next Steps: The nomination now heads to the full Senate for a final confirmation vote, which could happen as early as this week. Outlook: While Republicans hold a majority, the final vote is expected to be tight. #MakeCallsDaily #FightBack

Cybersecurity experts told us back in Nov 2025 that the swing state cheaters (Musk and Trump) had cheated I hope that #Congress has shut off any avenues of cybersecurity abuse, and specifically cut off access to Musk Both parties need #election trust! www.planetcritical.com/cyber-securi...

We can hardly wait. Our Congress passed a bill demanding that this happen, but they seem too corrupt/intimidated to follow up on it. We're hoping to replace most of them soon, but whatever you can do will be helpful & much appreciated. #ProudBlue
The president of the United States is an enemy to the United States.
The Tariff Tax is Facing a Legal War This is no longer just executive overreach; it is a full-blown constitutional crisis over trade. The Supreme Court already struck down the administration's initial tariffs in February. The trade courts killed the replacement tariffs in May.
Our thoroughly corrupt electoral system.
Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "
I wish we had a President who actually cared about families, especially American children. Instead of hampering healthcare, benefits, education and creating new taxes through war, tariffs, and subsidies to corporations.
