Temporary Sanity

MAGA ramping up the cruelty.

Reminder that the Republican Party has now completely become the authoritarian MAGA Party and is no longer the party of “small government.)

2030

He’s a toddler

Trump Canceled 94 Million Pounds of Food Aid. Here’s What Never Arrived. ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the administration’s cut...

Whenever Trump and Republicans talked about waste, fraud, and abuse, it was always projection.

Donald Trump's government is the most wasteful, fraudulent, and corrupt administration in American history.

This is just the tip of the iceberg.

There are also a lot of red voters in Washington and Oregon who would benefit from this project from a personal or business standpoint.

So short-sighted, petty, and unproductive on so many levels.

I think god will be most likely to bless her and her ilk with humility🙄

🤬💔

Once again, validation that, while I’m sure there are individual
police officers who support CARE, the leadership and system of policing is and has always been problematic — even in blue cities like Seattle.

Because, unlike the monsters of the Trump regime, most humans don’t want to watch others suffer and die if it can be helped.

Also, because we can afford it. And we could afford to help so many more if you weren’t corrupt and obsessed with giving tax breaks to the wealthiest people on the planet.

This is what fascist regimes do. It’s lies and propaganda, it’s illegal, and it’s morally indefensible.

DON’T call it “Trump’s Peace Plan.”

Please don’t reinforce any of the rhetoric of this emergent dictator and his corrupt regime.

Under Donald Trump, 688 prescription drugs have gotten MORE EXPENSIVE.

And last night, he shut down the government to avoid lowering Americans’ health care costs.

Donald Trump is making your life more expensive.

Sen Shaheen - Don’t call our fellow humans “illegal,” call them “undocumented” if you must call them anything but people just like us.

Otherwise, you’re just reinforcing the rhetoric of the wrong-headed right.

THIS is the reason the people calling to “defund the police” had it right.

The police are either a part of the problem or doing nothing to stop/mitigate what is clearly both illegal and morally indefensible.

Hey @electdemocrats.bsky.social

Any comment on this? PLEASE stop taking money from uber-wealthy white guys and giving them everything they want.

This is the group you need to throw under the bus to make the tent bigger instead of listening to “moderates” who want to abandon everyone else.

Dogs and drones: how scientists are saving Washington’s endangered orcas Experts are finding new and more humane ways to protect the last 74 southern resident killer whales

How can sniffer dogs help save orcas? Maya Yang hung out with the gorgeous Eba for the day (as well some scientists) and wrote this lovely dispatch about the new non-invasive conservation methods being used to try and save these wonderful creatures

By “deeply uncomfortable,” I think you mean “morally indefensible.”

One of my favorite lines of “wisdom from Broadway musical lyrics:”

“But maddest of all, to see life as it is and not as it should be.”

As usual, the people with zero power will suffer the most.

Democrats need to hold.

If Dems need to throw any group under the bus to make their tent bigger, please let it be the rich donor class white guys. It’s their turn, isn’t it?

There is no such thing as “radical left” or “too far left.”

There is only doing our utmost to improve the lives of those with whom we share the country and the planet. Nothing radical about that.

ICE agents raid South Shore apartments; Trump says Chicago could become military training ground ICE agents raided a South Shore apartment building overnight as the city braces for a possible military deployment.

“ABC7 spoke to Pertissue Fisher, a woman who lives in the building. She said ICE agents took everyone in the building, including her, and asked questions later….’They was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other.’”

It can’t happen here, you say. But it is happening.

When the violent MAGA thugs know they are speaking to friends about being “unleashed,” we can sure consider that those people talking about “defunding the police” had a pretty good point, didn’t they?

The Department of Energy Axes Another Round of Grants On a major energy acquisition, carbon cycle cash, and a cheaper EV

The Department of Energy canceled more than $7.5 billion of grants to 223 projects on Wednesday — months after it told Congress it would finish "reviewing" the awards.

Thanks for bringing renewed awareness to this.

“According to a 2024 data analysis by the AP, it offered benefits to more than 12,500 libraries, nearly half of them in rural areas, and 106,000 schools.”

How did this program “invite waste, fraud and abuse”???

How is this improving the life of single ordinary American?
