I am dismayed at how many millions of people, many of them with jobs, still need help to afford food. The minimum wage is too low. CEOs and other big wigs are sucking out all the profits and paying low level workers such low wages they can't afford to live. This is all wrong. #Raiseminimumwage

Sure. Any ideas?

I've been locked out of Facebook. It simply won't load. I've been posting complaints about the big beautiful bill. Nothing nasty, just economic analysis of its impact--the deficit, rural hospitals, etc. Oh well. Kind of creepy, though.

Ever wonder how Trump bankrupted his Atlantic City casinos?
Siphon off every penny you possibly can, then abandon the husk. Just like the BIGBEAUTIFULBILL #Killthebill #stoptheBBB. @schumer.senate.gov @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social

🗣️REMINDER: Trump and Republicans are still trying to pass their 3 TRILLION dollar spending bill that would kick 16 million people off of their health insurance and literally take lunches away from school children. 
 
We can’t let them get away with it.

@padilla.senate.gov Thank you for your composure and quiet dignity in a terrible, unjust situation.

a man is holding his head with his eyes closed and the words focus focus focus behind him . ALT: a man is holding his head with his eyes closed and the words focus focus focus behind him .

Can we focus on the Big aBominable Bill? Pressure you senators to vote no. Not only does it cut MEDICAID by lowering eligibility limits, etc. etc. But the rich guys get a huge tax break which creates such a huge deficit it will cause Medicare to be cut too. The Marines in LA is scare theater.

When will someone say it??? We can't have social spending, a huge military, AND low taxes. These things must be paid for. And wealthy people need to pay their share. #taxshortfall, #usdebtproblem.

I hope you all will congratulate me!
I finished Ulysses!!

@maddow.msnbc.com @chrislhayes.bsky.social the tariff mystery solved: Trump needs the forecasted revenue to offset the tax cut for the OMB. Once that bill passes, they can drop most of the tariffs.

#GVerse 😑

Do you know who your congressional representatives are? look them up here: www.congress.gov/members/find... Jot down their telephone numbers and call them every day till they stop this maniacal president. Demand Congress rescind the tariffs and restore the NIH and CDC.

@nicollewallace.bsky.social My piece of sh** supposedly moderate republican Congressman(Lawler) talks moderate but votes maga. He's a lying worm.

@nicollewallace.bsky.social You're trying to figure out Trumps motives. Forget that. He is someone who gets an idea and won't listen to advice. Fyi, Nov 7 I predicted stagflation by June. (I'm former bank cfo) It's so obvious his tactics don't work.

What are the odds the good employment numbers are wrong. Do you think that maybe some Trump loyalists made an 'honest' mistake and reported +228 k, but it was really up 2.28k??

I am in mourning. Our agencies doing #medicalresearch into cures for diseases, vaccines, how to curtail the spread of #ebola, etc. etc. have been decimated. Is this really what the people of this country want? What happens when someone with drug resistant #TB coughs on us?

Haha

Hagseth should step down immediately

Your opponent is a worm, he talks a good game then votes MAGA. Welcome to the contest.

#ULYSSES update: I'm up to Chapter 15! And now I really can't figure out what's going on. Thank goodness I have a good teacher at the 92nd st Y.

Tesla is recalling most Cybertrucks due to exterior panel issue | CNN Business Tesla is recalling nearly all Cybertrucks in the United States to fix an exterior panel that could detach during driving, the latest in a series of call-backs for the pickup truck.

Tesla is recalling nearly every Cybertruck in the United States due to the risk of the exterior panels flying off and hitting other cars on the road.

This comes as Tesla’s stock continues to plunge.

That doesn't even make sense.

@maddow.msnbc.com talk about stagnation. That's what's next. People unemployed can't pay their mortgage or buy a new car. So high tariff costs and low employment equals a mess!

I'm retired. I depend on withdrawing $$ from my IRA. The Trump tariff market crash is terrible for me

It's as if, six or eight weeks after a certain person gets into office, people suddenly realize OH NO! this is not good!
