So tranquil!

The indictment and follow-up will cost taxpayers way more than the $47 per month she saved on her mortgage.

I like that she’s standing up to some of the MAGA crowd, but I still don’t trust her. She’s upset about the healthcare situation, not because it negatively impacts Georgians (and the rest of the country), but because her kids’ premiums will be going up drastically.

This makes me so sad! 😢

“This is a movement…This is an achievement of a whole society…I am just one person.”

The beautiful humility of Venezuelan pro-democracy leader, Maria Corina Machado, the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize recipient.

But they have no problem with bailing out Argentina, or spending millions to have our top military brass attend a Trump/Hegseth “I want to prove I’m macho” rally!

The Civil-Military Crisis Is Here The leaders of the U.S. military may soon face a terrible decision.

“Senior military leaders should have stepped in to prevent Trump from turning addresses at Fort Bragg and Norfolk into political rallies; the silence of the Army and Navy secretaries, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and some top generals and admirals is appalling…”

The Trump Action Tracker is a British academic’s answer to Trump “flooding the zone” with anti-democratic and anti- rule of law behaviours.

It’s a one-stop-shop for logging thd lot. And the neta-analysis of what is happening is very enlightening… darkly.

People ask what they can do in this moment: here's a crucially important election. There are 52,000 elections taking place next month, many of which will be determined by turnout.

I had not seen this before. Thanks for sharing. I’m actually surprised that the numbers aren’t even higher.

October 7, 2025 The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) today floated the idea that workers furloughed during a government shutdown are not guaranteed back pay when the shutdown is resolved.

Admitting that he has no intention to take care of all Americans is not something I ever expected to hear from a sitting president!

I’ll never understand how so many of those that he does not recognize as “our people” still support him!

I seriously don’t know what I would do without you and the community of your followers that has formed! You continue to not only inform and educate us, but you give us reasons to not give up hope. We the people will not allow the MAGA crowd to destroy our democracy!

Today in Politics Chat, I talked about how power sloshes around when a president is checked out, and noted that right now unelected officials like Stephen Miller are trying to grab it. But instead, We the People can take it back and create a better nation.

They’re liars—and bad at lying.

These photos of “war-ravaged Portland” are from other countries.

Not Portland.

If it weren’t so dangerous, it would be laughable.

I can’t get over this. Trump bailed out Argentina farmers with $20 billion of our tax dollars, then China turned around and bought soybeans from them instead of US farmers.

Not AMERICA FIRST, America got played.

That is a beautiful feather!

I’m right there with you.

Trump is bankrupting farmers, raising prices on everything, and killing jobs with his tariff mania. Republicans in Congress own all of it. bsky.app/profile/atru...

The person who did all of these things was called a “tyrant…unfit to be the ruler of a free people” in 1776.

Yup.
