The SAVE act failed, in case you needed reminding that none of this is inevitable.

Peace, but only during trading hours
If we can institute a draft...
We can automatically register people to vote.
BOOM!
South Australia's power prices have plummeted as they near 100% renewables, proving to the world that relying on wind and solar with battery back-up is possible, more reliable and costs people less.
THIS is how we avoid the next oil crisis.

America. Are you listening?
This is the assignment. LISTEN. UP.
Polls just closed in Hungary. Those in line will still get to vote. Turnout approaching 80%.
Waiting…
We have a president who took the nation into a war for reasons he cannot fully articulate, without a strategy for how to respond if Iran did the expected and closed the Strait of Hormuz, and without an exit strategy if Iran doesn’t surrender.
Reminder that Congress can step up and stop this.
This happened to me in 2023. I'm small potatoes but I had to hire a lawyer and trademark my name as well. At the time I wondered how they thought they'd get away with it on a larger scale. I'm still wondering, because they've only gotten more brazen....

Why do we live in such a childish, stupid country? A country that wastes its money on useless billion dollar aircraft carriers, when it could be spending those tax dollars to actually help its citizens like sane countries.
Not once does this story mention that offering a federal job in exchange for a political favor is a crime
They are still wreaking havoc and ruining lives. They aren't gone.
I have a magnum of French champagne in the fridge and a pack of giant fireworks and all my friends know where the party is going to be
If the ID I use to drive and fly, it’s not enough to vote, that’s voter suppression and a poll tax

While Americans are crushed by skyrocketing costs, Lewandowski is raking in profits in corrupt pay to play schemes.
This is blatantly illegal, and demands an independent investigation.

Beautiful and enlightening post!
The US is no longer a liberal democracy, according to the top global watchdog on freedom and democracy. We're falling fast, and are now classed the same as Guatemala, Colombia, and Peru

Reminder: DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.
He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.
The grift continues.
Standard Trump:
💣 Bombs Iran to cover up the Epstein Files.
👧🏻 Bombs school. Twice.
⚰️ U.S lives lost.
📣 Declares victory.
🛢️ $100 a barrel.
🙏 Begs countries he’s repeatedly denigrated for help.
😤 Threatens NATO.
🤔 Questions whether the U.S should be bombing Iran.
It's the ides of March.
Can we get a backstabber please?
Remember the conspiracy theory about Trump being a Russian plant! Given everything that has gone on in the past 4 years, this now seems more plausible. The Russians plan for the long haul. They think in terms of decades. It makes sense to me.

He's a complete moron. He thinks this ayatollah is the same one that's been in power since the 1970s. He's wholly unqualified to even be in congress, much less hold a cabinet position.
Correction. Orwell never said this. He did however, warn that: "political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” (That's Politics and the English Language, one of my favorite essays)
And to be clear, everyone was very aware that this was illegal, but Trump officials and DOGE didi it anyway. Multiple IRS acting commissioners were removed when they raised concerns. Pretty much the entire C-suite resigned. From last year: donmoynihan.substack.com/p/this-tax-d...
Round white bird (tit)
My phone screensaver 🤣
I remember in 2016, Elijah Cummings saying that there was a larger, more horrific story behind Trump's election. He went on to pursue avenues of investigation that would have led to Epstein: Black Cube, Deutsche Bank, Sater and Michael Cohen, etc. All investigations dropped after his 2019 death.
I'm 45 and I'm there! But I've always been an old soul. ☺️
