@whitehouse-47.bsky.social gas increased 40 cents a gallon today and we’re supposed to be in an oil glut. Inflation still high. Big companies laying off thousands before Xmas. Healthcare cost up. When is the president going to order companies to cut prices and hire workers like he promised?

Such lies. How do you live with yourselves?

Disgraceful!

Don’t let them rewrite history. Always remember what really happened January 6th. www.facebook.com/share/v/1SBJ...?

Quoted tweet that says “are bad.“ The original tweet says “2025 starts with WTF, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The last time this happened was in 2020. We’re probably fine though right?“

Still not putting America First. DJT is more worried about his own investments in the Saudi area - hotels and golf courses are more important than Americas in the USA.

A screenshot of an X post by @harryjsisson commenting on the first government shutdown in 7 years occurring under Donald Trump, noting that the last one also happened during Trump's first term. The post sarcastically mentions Trump calling himself a "master negotiator."

This didn’t happen under Biden because he believed government should actually function on behalf of the people, not actively work against them in order to benefit the wealthy.

What's on the line right now is what Donald Trump promised a year ago: lower costs.

But instead, he's done the opposite.

For American families, the price of just making it to the end of the month has gone up and up.

Democrats are using our votes to make life more affordable.

The fact that the White House & Republican members of the House and Senate are blatantly lying, and blaming, proves they know they are responsible for this Government Shutdown. The President said this week that he would shutdown the government. #thisistrumpsshutdown

Now waiting for the Executive Order that forces businesses to reduce prices, hire more workers, offer healthcare to all, pay higher wages, and forbid stock buybacks. waiting, waiting, waiting, ...

Now that billionaires & corporations have been given billions in taxpayer money, they will be able to maintain profits while hiring more at higher wages and cutting prices to consumers. Everything will cost less to millions of consumers, including energy. That's the promise, but we live in reality.

“China is the largest producer and exporter of Children Products & Toys in the world. It is accounting for almost 80% of the global toy supply. It remains unrivaled as manufacturer and exporter for the Children Products & Toy Industry.” #Trumpcession #TrumpTariffs

Tariffs - everyone is worried about cost of Autos and Electronics, nobody is talking about cost of TOYS yet. Do you know how many toys are made in China? Lots! Very soon Mom and Dad are going to have a hard time justifying cost of toys for their children. #Trumpcession #TrumpTariffs

Michiganders unite to save Democracy, Free Speech, and a unified USA.

It’s obvious that Trump is trying to get the DOW back to that beautiful and historic 20,000 he was so proud of back in 2017. Has to wipe out the success of his predecessor. @Trumpcession

Think we have government waste and fraud now? Just wait until all administration and services "sent back to the states" are duplicated in each state. Some things just make sense to centralize. #Trumpcession #Trump #Musk

X post by Bernie Sanders (@SenSanders ), featuring a verification badge. The text of the post reads: "No, Mr. President, you cannot illegally arrest and detain legal US residents because of their political views or opinions. In America, we have a little something called the First Amendment. Throwing protesters in jail is yet another step on the path to authoritarianism." The post emphasizes a defense of First Amendment rights and expresses concern about authoritarian actions.

So much for the “Free Speech” champions.

@chuckschumer.com don’t vote for a bad budget bill. No guarantee the administration will spend funds how congress has appropriated it. The agents of the current administration have wanted a government shut down for nearly 4 years. They are accountable for their inability to lead.

Donald Trump just proved he works for Elon Musk, as a Tesla Salesperson. Seems like the job pays well, you just have to be willing to be a two-faced narcissist.

@warren.senate.gov well said Senator Warren. Vote NO on a bad budget. The republicans said they have wanted to shutdown the government many times during the past 4 years. Now they are in charge and can. They own the responsibility now. Their budget, their shutdown.

I have to agree with his future prediction. Sums up the co-presidency at this time very well. #Trumpcession

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared. ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

New and devastating reporting from my colleagues showing just how dangerous it has become to be pregnant and in Texas after the state banned abortion.

The current chaotic tactic from DOGE reminds me of the IT practice of turning off a computer process, or report, to see if anyone notices. Might work for a benign report but not for life and death situations and the size of the Federal Government. #PresidentMusk #DOGE #Trumpcession #NotMyFelon

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons:

-We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S.

-The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous.
