Husband, dad and grandad. The Hawkeyes, Cubs, Bears and Bulls are my teams. Family, sports and politics (liberal) are my passions.

BREAKING: Democrats just tried to pass a standalone bill to fund WIC & SNAP to make sure families don't go hungry during the Republican shutdown.
Republicans BLOCKED it. So Trump won't use emergency funds to keep SNAP running, and Republicans won't let any bills pass. Shameful.
A president who routinely gives orders attempting to rewrite history, is a president who's planning to commit atrocities.

If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."

Remove him from office.
It has been said before, but it bears repeating: the elderly whoβve worked their entire lives to get $800 a month on Social Security arenβt bankrupting America. Itβs tax-evading billionaires like Trump who are bleeding this country dry.

This is some of your best work - and apparently @mcuban.bsky.social agrees.
It makes me so sad and angry for our state and for the state of our country.
This is injecting bleach for the entire global economy. And he's not just floating the idea: he's holding the syringe.

Just contemplate for a moment what kind of person eliminates food shipments to food banks.
Iβve volunteered at food banks. These are members of our community β often with more than one job β who simply canβt make ends meet.

This post from @alexnpress.bsky.social is just too on the nose of how law enforcement is used and implemented to protect the capital of the obscenely rich.

Virtually every question today at the WH Press briefing was about the Hunter pardon, as if that is the thing the American people care about most right now. The DC press is so disconnected from the American public and serves them poorly more often than not.

Too many of our checks and balances rely on norms, traditions and the honor code.
It works when those elected into power are people of honor and integrity who respect our norms and traditions.
Elect a lifelong criminal and it all goes sideways.
Trump announces that on his first day in office, heβs going to put a 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada and an extra 10% tariff on China.
Stock up on whatever you need before January 20 - everything is about to get more expensive. Groceries, cars, medications, all of it.
Trump posts that he will implement a 25% tariff on all products coming into the United States from Mexico and Canada his first day in office and will add an additional 10% tariff above current levels on products imported from China.
Buckle up for higher prices!
One thing I look for in a social network is not to have the CEO shove his reactionary political views in my face every time I open the app. So Iβm happy here.
