The people of the US should be able to hold their elected representatives accountable while in term. Recall votes to replace them when no confidence should be a thing here.

Best movie I have seen in awhile. This film had my husband crying and saying he wanted to meet you, Stephen King.

Trump defends the US economy with charts after job reports showed warning signs President Donald Trump has summoned reporters to the Oval Office to present charts that he says shows the economy is solid.

The current policies and tactics make me think of "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" ,"The show where everything's made up and the points don't matter." From trying to discredit statistics, deny climate science, nonsensical tariff numbers, and the use of prompts in acting.

I started getting physical news magazines again and books earlier this year to keep a documentable history.

Not fit to be a President if he can't handle reality.

If only there was a scientific method that would take gerrymandering by either major party out of all the maps across the country. Sounds fair and what Dems should push for when they take back congress.

Reminds me of the movie, "Don't look up".

PR move to boost the Trump name publicity when it's at a low. Perhaps specifically for Melania to boost some sort of future business venture. Trying to brainwash people into thinking they have the same standing and quality as the Kennedy's. Waste of time and glad that doesnt work on me.

Would love to see him or Stewart go into politics like Robin Williams in Man of the Year. They probably have more knowledge of processess and consequences of action/speech than some that have gone into office....

This doesn't do any good if you travel out of state. Also, doesnt help those struggling to get an appointment for learner permits, driving tests, or real ids. NC DMVs need more staffing and maybe more locations. To require licenses and ids, yet having these barriers getting them is ridiculous.

Trump appointees have ties to companies that stand to benefit from privatizing weather forecasts Downsizing at the National Weather Service appears to be part of an effort by Republicans to privatize such agencies.

The conflict between field expertise and the broad public's interest are also at play. But, yes, this admins link to private companies that will make money of his agenda is alarming.

With the IRS saying now that churches can endorse political canditates, the more I am thinking that their public display of prayer is all an act for them to get support from the church whether its votes or money. They are putting on a show for those that wont consider deeper on their actions.

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social would have my vote.

Real strong leaders have empathy and intellectual humility. Both bring discomfort and take strength to work through. Denial of either is avoiding the pain of hard self-work and is a failure to acknowledge the reality of other humans. Bring back real strong leaders in America. Who would you nominate?

Hoping for some good trouble.

A Military Ethics Professor Resigns in Protest Over the course of several months, Pauline Shanks Kaurin concluded she no longer had the academic freedom necessary for doing her job.

"During an all-hands meeting with senior college leaders ... were told that the college would comply with Hegseth’s directives and that, in Pauline’s words, “if we were thinking we had academic freedom in our scholarship and in the classroom, we were mistaken.” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Trump Is Using the National Guard as Bait Don’t give him the pretext he wants.

Not the words of a good leader. He clearly does not value the service of members. Hoping that service members can see and understand that.

American Corruption The Founders would have hated Trump's luxury jet.

It's not ok and I sadly have little faith that current congress would vote to agree.

Someone should sneak in the Trump mugshoot photo.

Perhaps are you proposing the same app but remarketed so it appeals and is recommended to GOP voters?

From the still?! Trump supporters I have come in contact with, they still support him because they think he is fighting for the American farmers or they wholey do not undertand tariffs. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social, what would you recommend as reply showing that alternatives care about farmers?

How can he put a timeline as early as 6 months away on something that probably does not have a clear or possibly has mutliple answers? Influencing the direction of research to come to a conclusion before it can be checked fully.

I've started calling and leaving voicemails in hopes that someone listens and tallies them. The email responses indicate to me he is insanely out of touch with the sentiments I reach out on. The only one that was close was in regards to support for Ukraine awhile back.

@altnps.bsky.social , can I ask where you are getting your estimated headcount from? I find it intriguing how mainstream media appears to be under reporting this.

Use the 5 Calls app. Makes it easy to keep your reps contact info easily on hand.

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social , this is something I posted about on Facebook after Jan 2021. Friends staged exoduses from social platforms over politics. For the element of helping voters switch side, other voters, not just candidates, sharing their stance on multiplatforms seems like could help.
