Chris Murphy: "It's just so disgusting to listen to the president be waxing poetically about the drapes he's buying while there are six Americans who are dead. There are six families who are about to bury their children because of a war of choice that no one in this country wanted, an illegal war."

β€œPresumed to be innocent until proven guilty my ass!

You're presumed guilty until you unredact the Epstein files because you're hiding them.

Innocent people don't do that! Show us what's in those files, Thunder Chicken!

Show us what we already suspect.”

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.

$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst".

A son of sharecroppers, a Freedom Rider, a moral force in Congress, John Lewis taught us that democracy is not a state, it is an act. When we see injustice, we do not look away. We get in good trouble. And we build bridges despite adversity. Happy Heavenly Birthday, Congressman.

This tariff ruling is causing considerable confusion.
But one thing is clear. 100% of any tariff refunds will be paid to corporations that passed on increased costs to consumers. We paid the tariffs. They will get the refund. Prices won't come back down. The people will get screwed yet again.

The fact Trump is saying he will not obey the Supreme Courts ruling, he will be imposing more tariffs says it all, "again". It proves "again" when the next election happens, he will not honor the results of the elections, unless he wins.

Big windmills mean big money for a small town Bringing wind and solar farms to rural American counties like this one in Indiana isn't about green energy, it's about greenbacks.

Much as Alaska, North Dakota and Texas grew rich when drilling companies struck oil and natural gas, solar and wind power can bring counties both construction work and cash, in the form of leases and tax revenue www.aol.com/articles/big... / @piperformissouri.bsky.social @lesliejones4mo.bsky.social
