Looking forward to Tuesday’s State of the Union address! Since taking office President Biden has done more in 2 yrs than most do in 8 yrs! Thank you POTUS Biden, MVP Kamala Harris & to Dems for their leadership at all levels of government! #FreshResists #DemVoice1 #ONEV1 #wtpBlue
@BrazenlyLiberal Excellent idea!!!
@SenescentDrummer13 I love Joyce Vance!
Of course she's right, as usual. I'd go farther and say the debt limit should be eliminated altogether. It doesn't actually limit debt as it's not applied to proposed expenditures. It's only dragged out and put on display afterward as a tool to extort concessions from the other party. And what the rest of the world sees is the United States having a blowout argument over whether or to pay our bills.
@SenescentDrummer13 For the top 1%....Chaos = Cash. For the 99% who vote for these wingnuts...it's either entertaining or they're just like them.
@SenescentDrummer13
They're not "cuts" They're STEALING. Social Security does NOT affect the debt, it is a separate budget.
It's literally stealing from the elderly.

@SenescentDrummer13 Yup, and there's no accountability. Rich criminals protect rich criminals, and we get fleeced.
@SenescentDrummer13 He will be remembered for being the worst Speaker in two centuries.
“In 2022, we took on ultra-MAGA candidates in 22 races. We won 17 of them.
To put it another way, we beat Trumpy candidates 17 times in 2022. We picked our battles, and we won. Bigly, as they say. Has anyone seen that red wave? No? Us either. And it’s because of the work we all did together.”

@triforce Start you day over again!

Weeks after Elon Musk’s decision to reinstate Donald Trump on Twitter, yesterday, Facebook announced it will allow Trump back on its platforms, too. The public should be able to hear what their politicians are saying, wrote Nick Clegg, Meta’s president of global affairs. With due respect to Nick Clegg, this is rubbish. Trump is far worse than an ugly politician. He’s a dangerous traitor to American democracy.” Robert Reich
“ The Republican Party is a fascist outfit, full stop. There are no messages of hope. There are no promises to govern better. There are no proposals to make life better for all Americans. There is only vassalage to a crooked, thieving, mobbed-up dementia patient, looted money for cronies, and a naked grab for permanent minority rule. If achievement of those aims means sacrificing the LGBT community, and the disabled, and immigrants, and people of color, & women!”

What Cal-Maine Foods and the other large egg producers did last year—and seem to be intent on doing again this year—is extort billions of dollars from the pockets of ordinary Americans through what amounts to a tax on a staple we all need: eggs. They did so without any legitimate business justification. They did so because there is no ‘reasonable substitute’ for a carton of eggs. They did so because they had power and weren't afraid to use it.
NEW BLUES! - Lately, I haven't been feeling it.
This morning, I felt it again, and luckily for me, @northernbassist and I had been working on a little blues jam and I finally felt like laying down a track. I want to thank him for playing bass on this.
Imagine hanging in a joint with a fireplace in the corner. We're dishing it out.
