It’s entirely possible that our nation will not survive the Trump era. But at least these bozos have set back the concept of white supremacy by a thousand years. (Soldier writing a letter from the battle zone) “Dear ma, please send soap, socks and some diversity. All the guys really miss the woke”

Is it good when the secretary of defense is so fixated on making sure everyone is white and has tv ready abs that he forgets about munitions bsky.app/profile/carl...

61 years after the Voting Rights Act became law, Texans are still fighting to be counted at the ballot box. Yesterday, the voice of the people was so loud that the Tarrant County Commissioners Court had no choice but to table their attempt to cut polling locations before the midterm election.

A disappointing decision. A federal judge reluctantly dismissed the remaining criminal charges against eight Oath Keepers charged with seditious conspiracy in the Jan. 6 attack after the Justice Department requested the case be thrown out.

With primaries behind us, it's now time for Dems to focus on winning in Nov. That'll involve something hard: establishment Dems will need to ask what they can learn from progressives, progressives will have to focus on what they can learn from centrists & both'll have to find ways to work together.

The fact that the Democratic senators are agreeing to a continuing resolution until Dec 11th with NO compromises for them is absolute political malpractice and head scratching. Why not even try to ban like…. The arch? Anything!

A lot of words to say “we screwed over the American people with our illegal tariffs scheme, again.” The costs of tariffs were born by consumers but the rebate will go to the shareholders. It is just theft. Worst economy for workers by choice.

Trump's tariffs have failed to bring about the manufacturing export boom he promised. Consumers and businesses have been hit hard — but the U.S. trade deficit was $73 billion in June, pretty much the same as the monthly average during Biden's last year.

It’s been 166 days since SCOTUS struck down Trump’s illegal tariff taxes & big corporations are getting their refunds. $2.2 BILLION for Apple, $600 MILLION for Amazon, $300 million for Nike.   When are American families going to see the $1,700 they're owed? Return the money, NOW.

Corporate America got billions of dollars in tariff refunds. Where’s your cut? | CNN Business

Apple got an estimated $2.2 billion tariff refund last quarter. Amazon got $600 million. Nike got $300 million. But American consumers who paid higher prices as President Donald Trump’s tariffs filter...
