"The term 'Gilded Age' was coined by Mark Twain, suggesting that the era's outward prosperity concealed underlying problems, like a thin layer of gold covering a base metal." Kind of like the Oval Office these days.

The fact that Trans service members who are forced to leave the military are being denied early retirement pension if they are 15-19 years in, is angering and should anger all Americans.

Meanwhile the draft dodging fat-assed douche canoe clown balls of a President dodged the draft.

This is our satellite. Bought and paid for with taxpayer dollars, appropriated for this specific mission by the elected Congress. Those who would destroy it on purpose are our enemies.

It makes sense once you realize that every accusation is a confession.

The threat to our society is not from asylum seekers in small boats. It’s from politicians and media cynically whipping up fear and prejudice, labelling them all as criminals, inciting hatred against people for where and what they’ve fled from.
It must stop. For all our sakes. It’s deeply sinister.

Tariffs are not "creating wealth". They impose higher costs to U.S. consumers. The money comes out of your wallet. There is no directive on how the Government "tariff income" is actually used. Tax breaks for the rich will not improve the lives of middle-class America.

So, apparently, Christian Nationalists would rather a child be raped by Donald Trump at Epstein's mansion than get a free lunch at a public school. #priorities

Looks like we found the waste, fraud, and abuse happening in this administration. He charges the taxpayers each time he golfs, and then there's that jet. He threatens businesses and educational institutions so they'll pay him. It's time to release the #EpsteinFiles

New in PN: The GOP's gerrymandering frenzy is a sign of weakness

"'We stood aside so Trump could shutter vital agencies, take your healthcare, and spend every last dime scooping up immigrants to get Stephen Miller his 3,000 arrests a day' is not exactly a rallying cry that will turn out voters."

New Detail Blows Huge Hole in Trump's Story About Epstein Friendship β€” The New Republic Donald Trump said he ended the friendship in 2004. But that doesn’t appear to be the case.

In the latest Trump/Epstein coverup news Trump’s story is falling apart faster than his economic policies.
Trump was still inviting Epstein to events years after he said he kicked Epstein out for poaching his workers.

Fact check:

mRNA vaccines for respiratory viruses are meant to prevent severe illness (bad Pneumonia).

This means beefing up our immunity in the *lower* respiratory tract, eg the lungs.

Kennedy talks about the *upper* respiratory tract and vaccine efficacy in nonsensical gibberish.

Biden doesn’t get enough love, but his leadership on climate action, economic recovery, and expanding healthcare showed real progress. From historic infrastructure bills to global diplomacy he quietly shaped a stronger, more inclusive America deserving way more credit than he gets. This is 4 JoeπŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ’™
