Me too.

What concerns me almost as much is how vulnerable the US is w all these top officials gone. Every alphabet agency has been gutted of the most knowledgeable and experienced people. Their replacements are political hacks w no knowledge of what their job entails.

Remember 9/11?

Someone wake me from this dystopian nightmare!

It took decades to get lead out of gasoline, ban DDT/PCBs/PBBs and declare tobacco a carcinogen.

Whatever 'tipping point' has been predicted, we will surpass it at full speed.

There is also the issue of the investigations/indictments the Felon was facing. Release of this kind of information would be seen as political and also construed as tainting the jury pool and prejudicial in the multiple court cases being prosecuted.

Point of Order: Bill Clinton wasn't impeached for having consensual sex, he was impeached for lying about it and obstructing the investigation into the affair.
The Felon tried to bribe a foreign president by threatening to withhold congressionally authorized aid for info on Biden.

Okinawa was proof the cost to the Allies invading Japan would have been much higher and that doesn't include Japanese casualties.
We can look back and make 20-20 hindsight decisions that are based on information not available in 1945. Truman wasn't even aware of the Manhattan project until FDR died.

I am so tired of listening to these MAGA idiots!

When the government denies any person their civil rights, we're all in jeopardy!

Epstein scandal broadens as trove of letters from famous figures published New York Times reports on letters by Ehud Barak, Woody Allen and others written for Epstein’s 63rd birthday

Definitely recognizable names. #ReleaseEpsteinFiles

Exactly.

I can't count the number of times I've asked someone where they were from when I've noticed their accent. It's led to some very interesting conversations.
My mother was German. I never realized she had an accent until one of my friends asked me if she was.

Progressives can make the US better and put us on par w our European allies that have universal healthcare, free/low cost education and so many other benefits the wealthiest nation in world history should have.
We can do better!

We could be one Big Mac or KFC bucket away from celebrating.
My major apprehension for when that happens will be the chaos and the conspiracy theories that will circulate.

You forgot to mention demanding the release of the Epstein files! 😉

Plans were in motion to ship troops from Europe to Asia for the invasion of Japan.
Japanese civilians had prepared to fight to the death.
Using nukes prevented the Allied invasion of Japan and even more death and destruction.
More people died in the firebombing of Tokyo than both Hiroshima/Nagasaki.

Bingo!

We survived the Insurrection of 1860 mostly intact. That failed insurrection has festered and surged after the Civil Rights Acts of the 1960s. The resurgence hit a new peak after the election of a black president.

The issue I see will be an urban v rural conflict across the country.

We are in trouble.

Claiming it was a 'coding error' is pure malarkey! Gaslighting has become an art form of the highest order for this fascist regime.

Article 1, Section 9 & 10 have been removed from the official Govt website on the US Constitution. Among numerous points:
•Section 9 forbids suspending The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus
•Section 10 forbids ex post facto laws

This better be a joke. Ignoring these is full blow dictatorship

A majority of Americans didn't vote for the Felon!
It's similar to how the Nazis manipulated the Weimar's constitution to able to appoint Hitler chancellor in Jan 1933 after he lost the presidential election in 1932.

Nothing liars hate more than facts and the truth!

Paxton is now seeking a court order to declare the over 50 lawmakers’ seats vacant.

@marcelias.bsky.social tell me this isn’t legal so I don’t freak out.

Halting funding for mRNA research isn't just turning off a switch. Cell lines created over decades will die meaning if/when research starts again it will be from zero. It won't be a matter of picking up where we left off.
Decades of research are being or will be lost when this research is halted.

American importers pay the tariffs and pass those costs onto consumers.
In its early years the US relied on tariffs to fund the government.
CNN is losing viewers by attempting to present 'both sides' of issues when one side is incredibly WRONG!

Don't argue w stupid people.

If you didn't know how he could bankrupt a casino, do you understand now?

He's a dementia-addled fool, a very stupid one w anger management issues.

I've heard that before.

The standard of living for every American would go up for at least 60% of Americans.
Medicare for all would be Step 1; Step 2 would be to make all education free/low cost like it is in other industrialized countries.

The Felon's tariffs during his first term hit Nebraska farmers dramatically. This is what they voted for!
