I'm not a typically outspoken person but will make exceptions. Love lacrosse, hockey, economics, healthcare policy, and governmental policy.

Would you look at that? It is sharia law wrapped in Catholic clothing. Honestly, this is how we need to start talking about the "Christian right." The exact same way they talk about other theocratic regimes.

I can't help but notice that none of them are trans or drag queens. I was told those are the people who are a danger to children.

The ultra wealthy, religious fanatics, and the unscrupulous segments of society have formed an unholy triumverate that is not only ruining the United States but spreading and threatening all of humanity.

Cowards, the lot of them. It is time to elect people with the spine to stand up to Trump and his army of domestic terrorists and religious fanatics. We need to reclaim our country from the grip of religious delusion.

Yet another example of the rich and powerful having a worldview in which they are the only humans who matter or have opinions that matter. They view everyone else as NPCs and as unimportant.

Maybe people are starting to realize that having millionaires and billionaires in charge of our governments isn't going to benefit the average person.

Walmart made 157 billion in 2024 and is looking at roughly 169 l billion in 2025 in profits. They can fuck off with this "we can't absorb that line". They could, but the billionaires have to make sure they get their 10th yacht or whatever to continue their 90% responsibility for climate change.

RFK Jr. Shocked At β€˜Tsunami Of Anger’ Over Autism Comments The health secretary called autism a β€œpreventable disease” and claimed that people with the disorder will never go out on dates, pay taxes or write poems.

How obtuse are these morons to think that denigrating entire segments of the population using eugenics talking points plagiarized from Mein Kampf WASN'T going to generate an enormous amount of outrage.

Remember, Social Security is not technically part of the budget deficit. It is designed to be self supporting. Republicans just kept β€œborrowing” from it to pay for wars in Iraq, etc. while giving tax cuts to the rich.
Now they don’t want to pay it back.

safety net programs.

For quite some time we have been told that demanding our tax dollars go towards things that help or benefit it us is asking for a handout. People need to realize that is the point. To essentially crowd fund things that the average person needs.

Is anyone else loving China spilling the tea of the manufacturing of "luxury" goods all over tik tok. I think it's about time Americans learn about how big our retailers' markups really are. Some of them make movie theater markups look miniscule in comparison.

Does anyone else think there needs to be a cap on CEO pay. Something like a CEO can't be paid more than 50 times the lowest paid employee in the company.

The Trump Administration Just Violated Another Court Order It gets worse: The order found that the administration was covertly withholding millions in FEMA funds from blue states.

If we had a functioning democracy or even a functioning congress, he would be impeached and jailed immediately. Withholding FEMA funds from blue states, despicable.

Imagine the absolute shit storm from the right if anyone but a republican did this.

So, while the market is crashing and our security apparatus is starting to look like Swiss cheese with holes every, the top priorities for Trump are to jet off to watch golf and declare April anti-trans month...

Just wow.

At this point, I think the recession fears are turning into depression fears. We are talking about almost 4 trillion in value being wiped out. The average person has lost 10k from their 401k.

On top of the massive market sell-off, companies are already laying off workers and shuttering plants due to expected cost increases.

All because MAGA decided a moron was better than a black woman who "laughs a lot."

Over 2 TRILLION dollars of value wiped out in less than 24 hours. This is why dismantling the social safety net is a terrible idea.

To be clear, REPUBLICANS want to dismantle social security and put the financial security of our elderly entirely in the hands of Wall Street.

And did something to stop him from marching us into another depression. For that to happen, though, we need people with actual spines in Congress, not the current group sycophants.

From a regime that has wanted war from day one so they can use it as an excuse to declare martial law, I am not surprised they would get rid of an institution focused on peace.

I will put money on the orange turd dropping a nuke. He's wanted to do it since his first term.

FUN FACT: Social Security has a fraud rate of 0.00625%, which is far lower than private sector retirement programs.
