Q: What did you mean when you said you're prepared to send 'more than the National Guard' into American cities?

TRUMP: if I want to enact a certain act, I'd be allowed to do whatever I want. The courts wouldn't get involved. Nobody would. I could send Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines -anybody I want

Great

STOP VOTING FOR TRUMP MINIONS

This is another fine effort by @lizdye.bsky.social, especially if you wanted a reason to start drinking at coffee break.

📌Every bill to help feed people in my long lifetime has been passed by Democrats.
Every bill to starve them has been passed by Republicans.

Ron DeSantis revealed that his son will be dressing as Chief Osceola, the symbol for FSU athletics, for Halloween. The Seminole Tribe of Oklahoma deemed FSU "The Champions of Racist Mascots" in 2014.

Wouldn't be surprised at all if DeSantis described Osceola as "his favorite redskin."

DURING THE "GREATEST GENERATION" after WW2 - 1950's tax-rates on Millionaires were up to 94% (No Billionaires existed yet), Truman lowered it to 86%; Reagan lower it from 70% to 28%. Today Billionaires like Musk/Trump pay ZERO to 13%; YET, GOP call it SOCIALISM to raise it by 2% for infrastructure??

Trump Just Announced His Police State In yesterday’s address to U.S. troops

"Trump envisions himself as commander-in-chief of a domestic military force that would target alleged criminals (but not the white-collar sort), rid the nation of undocumented people, and remake America into a white, straight, male, Christian nation." robertreich.substack.com/p/trump-just...

Absolutely

‪Why are those billionaires getting big into farmland? They’re taking advantage of a new tax loophole so they can restructure their failed businesses into incredibly generous landings because they slapped 400 acres onto “AI powered crockpot” so it counts as a family farm‬

The US is seeing the largest number of layoffs since 2020, with nearly 1 million people losing their jobs so far this year.

It's just a matter of time before we have to use multifactor authentication to talk to our family members.

American Farmers… Racism is Expensive‼️ FAFO

Nothing to see here, folks 🤫🤔

Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."

We got 99 problems and Trump is 98 of them.

BREAKING: @governor.ca.gov Gavin Newsom and @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov Rob Bonta are suing the Trump Admin for unlawfully withholding food assistance from 5.5 million Californians during the federal shutdown.

I think it’s very important to acknowledge wins where we achieve them - and not fall into the Borg Trap of believing that all resistance is futile. Bc it’s not as the below is evidence of.

America: the land where baby formula is locked up because it's shockingly expensive and parents steal it so their babies won't starve.

In a shameful speech to U.S. service members on an aircraft carrier in Japan, Trump threatens to sic the military on fellow Americans back home – even using “Space Command” if he feels like it.
This sick, traitorous person must be stopped.

The Epstein files stay hidden, but the Epstein Ballroom will be a prominent display.

@karoli.bsky.social In this case here Karoli, it’s not that I’m scared or anything like that. There isn’t much time left.

Yeah so about that

So WHAT are the plans for the BUNKER the Presidential Emergency Operational Center PEOC that was under the East Wing?

Wouldn't that have needed to be addressed BEFORE the East swing was demolished?

What about National Security?

Expanding Representation: Reinventing Congress for the 21st Century

Our winner-take-all electoral system fuels polarization and leaves many Americans out of our democratic process. Congress still has the power to change this—no constitutional amendment needed. It's time to move beyond winner-take-all and build a democracy that works for everyone.

Q: American farmers have really suffered from Trump’s trade war. Do you see any light at the end of the tunnel?

Bessent: In case you don’t know it, I’m actually a soybean farmer, so I have felt this pain too
