Donald Trump started a war with the best big city in the nation. Thanks Fox News!

Take the lie about undocumented immigrants away and no Republican can explain why they shut down the government.

Farmers are going bankrupt, John Deere is fledgling, and Donald Trump just gave a bailout to Argentina? 😑

We lost our #1 export country in China and for him, every day is just another walk in the park.

Thank you CBS Evening News for coming to the Quad Cities and telling our local story.

If you’re second guessing yourself, just focus on the fact that it can good happen today!

By the end of the year, American households will have spent an average of $2,400 due to Donald Trump’s trade wars.

Pretty decent earthquake happened about 20 minutes ago in the San Francisco Bay Area. If you have friends or family there, needless to say they’re probably wide awake now.

It would hae to be pretty shallow to cause any damage, but quite a jolt nonetheless.

And for everyone, that’s 1:19pm central time! Happy Fall!

The President of the United States, who took an oath to preserve and protect our Constitution has declared war on our third largest city.

This is not funny.
This is dangerous.
Every American must denounce it.

Delighted to announce Congressman and Meteorologist @ericsorensen.bsky.social has endorsed my candidacy for Congress in Virginia's First Congressional District.

He is the first current Member of Congress to publicly endorse a candidate in this race.

Many thanks for his work and his support!

It amazes me how many Republicans walk in Labor Day Parades, taking credit for their support of the labor movement when all their votes in office show otherwise.

The American people know better!

I have reached out to Bishop Malloy of the Rockford Diocese and Bishop Tylka of the Peoria Diocese to offer my condolences and support to every parishioner.

We must move forward together with a resolution of peace and purpose in a time when hate has caused so much violence. 2/2

So the Executive Branch will now control the nation’s train stations?

1. Seems unlawful.
2. Seems authoritarian.
3. DC Union Station is beautiful and very safe.

In short, no. The states conduct elections. Congress can provide the oversight and changes in regulations. And with a GOP majority, maybe he’s thinking of that.

Donald Trump’s own words: with Texas redistricting and only paper ballots, politics will be over.

Is this the new most dangerous thing he’s said?

Good morning to everyone but Patrick. (Little known fact, if I was born 12 hours earlier on March 17th, I would’ve been named Patrick. (But I wouldn’t have thought I was smart enough to do all the world’s research for myself.))

Do we need a break from politics? Sure! But be sure to let me know your answers too. ‡️ ‡️ ‡️ ‡️

Trump’s mastered his own art of the deal: failing. The meeting in Alaska was a dog and pony show. And the Press Conference where details were given and questions answered? Nothing. Putin got everything from his red carpet visit to the U.S. and Ukraine and America got nothing.

Trump is a failure.
