Another attempt at disenfranchising voters. He's never going to stop trying. Keep fighting and resisting. It looks like he's angling for a 3rd term. www.yahoo.com/news/article...
Trump’s efforts to curb mail-in voting come to the Supreme Court as they falter in Congress
A Supreme Court case examining state deadlines for election ballots sent in the mail is just the tip of the spear in President Donald Trump’s war on mail-in voting.

Thank you Jim Acosta. One of the few with a backbone.
Jennifer C@thejenniwren.teamlh.social · 8mo agoJim Acosta testified before Congress today warning that a pending merger could hand CNN to Trump-aligned billionaires. He’s never stopped speaking truth to power, even when it cost him. We’re grateful someone is still saying it out loud. Share if you believe in a free press. @jimacosta.bsky.social
He doesn't know what the hell he's doing. There were no clearcut plans for this war and that's becoming more obvious. Trump considers "winding down" Iran war without opening Hormuz Strait www.axios.com/2026/03/20/t...
Trump considers "winding down" Iran war without opening Hormuz Strait
This would end the U.S. war effort, but not the global energy crisis the war created.

Absolutely disgusting. Poor kid. I'm sure he's wondering what's going on. I guess we all are. How hard would it be to show the family some compassion?

Zohran Kwame Mamdani@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social · last yr.The better question is whether working people can exist in the city they built.
I honestly can't see the feds going in some of those neigborhoods of high crime. They don't know the city. Creates an unsafe environment for National guard troops. www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

Trump Energy secretary: ‘We’re going to get blamed’ for rising power prices — but they’re Democrats’ fault
In an interview with POLITICO, Chris Wright insisted that the Trump administration’s efforts to stifle development of solar and wind power are not causing costs to spike.

"At the Department of Homeland Security, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency also halted its efforts to crack down on misinformation domestically related to U.S. elections." Absolutely unacceptable! www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
Russia is quietly churning out fake content posing as US news
A pro-Russian propaganda group is taking advantage of high-profile news events to spread disinformation — and they’re spoofing reputable news outlets to do it.

What a bunch of cowards! Fascism at it's finest. Kudos to the guy filming.
Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social · last yr.NEW: Video shared with me from a bystander in DC shows multiple masked federal agents (at least one of whom appears to have an ICE badge) violently attacking and handcuffing a delivery worker in the street outside Bluestone Lane cafe near Logan Circle this morning. Please take care when watching.
Looks like a bad one. Hope everyone can stay safe. Can't believe it only took 24 hours to strengthen from a tropical storm to a Category 5 hurricane.

Trump has some nerve even talking about Canada becoming the 51st state. This is totally absurd. Canada is it's own nation. Its people are very proud of their independence.
What the hell is going on with social media. I thought the truth was something you always strive for. Just another example of weak minds caving to Trump and his deplorables. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Trump Voters Are in for a Rude Awakening
He sold them countless, often conflicting fantasies. In 2025, he’ll face political reality.

Happy New Year's 2025! I know things are going to be tough and we will be outraged by Trump on a daily basis. We can make it through, we did it before & we'll do it again. Hoping in 2 years that we can take the House back. Until then, we fight the good fight and remain true to our beliefs.
Unfortunately, that's the way it's going to go. We still need to resist as much as possible. Republicans are going to need Dem votes in the House at some point. We need to leverage that power.
