Mike already protects pedophiles. Now he's protecting abusers, too. Mike doesn't follow the same Jesus I do. He follows Republican Jesus.
Please REPOST there are so many Americans that are not aware of these cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. It’s so crucial to create as much awareness as possible.🙏
Peter Morley ♿️@petermorley.bsky.social · 21h agoI spoke with @deluzio.house.gov regarding the $1 TRILLION Medicaid & MAJOR SNAP cuts that will begin on January 1, 2027 from the BIG UGLY BILL. His POWERFUL response: "people who are eligible are going to lose out...these cuts will take away healthcare & food from people & we gotta repeal it"!

we're on the cusp of seeing the highest ever national average this late in the year- 2022 was the previous record 8/5/22: $4.069/gal 8/5/26: $4.066/gal In the next couple days, 2022's average will likely fall below the same day in 2026, leading to the highest late-summer average.

Trump Is Making Government Worse on Purpose
Instead of seeking to simplify and improve citizens’ lives, this administration keeps creating new obstacles and burdens.

Now Senate Republicans are set to confirm the nominee and make sure it happens. This vote is a vote to make President Trump above the law. It’s that simple.
The reality is that this is exactly what Trump wants. He wants to force Ukrainian capitulation and this is how he wants to do it.

This is the right thing to say and I wholeheartedly support it and believe it but it is frustrating and aggravating that he's been saying this for months and months and, like Mamdani, some people on here take this as a rhetorical pivot after the primary rather than just sincerity.

Talarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime. Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses. Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.
It's funny you mention those folks because Black Folks have been rejecting Bernie for 10 years. Zohran was forced to pivot & reach out to Black Voters because he realized he couldn't & wouldn't win w/o us. AOC has realized she can't win w/o us. AES will not win w/o us. The problem is not us.
Jeff Whaley @smalltownidiot.bsky.social · 12h agoI know. That's what Bernie and Zohran and AOC and Abdul are trying to fight for. That's why I always push back against the "class over identity" leftists because it's both. They both matter and feed into each other.
El-Sayed: "If all Mike Rogers got is that 'his name is Abdul, and my name is Mike,' you're gonna be surprised how many people are like, 'Yeah, but that's the Abdul who wants to bring down the price of my groceries and make sure I got healthcare. So yeah, I like Abdul over your Mike from Florida.'"
Republicans call Democrats communists the way toddlers call every vegetable broccoli.
Tim and I in sync: The left & center-left are acting like the other is the enemy—and not Trump. C’mon, Dems! Keep your eye on the ball: Trump & the corruption, lying, & danger of his administration. And why is Schumer cutting a deal w/ Republicans? And how about Max Miller? youtu.be/rRwKwJsjSDg?...

Your little oopsie "mistakes" had me worrying for a year of my life about my partner going to jail for up to a decade based on lies likely fed to you by the top of the federal government. Show everyone what you're covering up in these emails and texts. There's a reason you don't want them released.
