15 banks collapsed during your dad's one term.

I don’t remember banks collapsing under Trump… but don’t worry guys it’s only a matter of time till Biden/media blames him for that too. It has nothing to do with high interest rates / fed rate hikes necessitated by record inflation caused by his out of control spending.

McCarthy giving 40,000 hrs of Jan. 6 tape to a pro-Putin journalist is an astounding ethical collapse. What security precautions were taken to keep this from becoming a roadmap for 2024 insurrection? Why isn’t it available to all media & public? Smell the MAGA propaganda coming.

The Republican Party has passed a bill that allows them to smoke inside the Capitol (offices etc). I’m glad they are showing us what their priorities are.

Marjorie Taylor Greene isn’t just unfit to serve in Congress. By the letter of the law, it would seem she should be ineligible. (via @TheReidOut Blog) on.msnbc.com/3IMW4Qg

Report: Greene told Trump there would be a QAnon presence on Jan. 6

Former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson testified that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia told Donald Trump and Mark Meadows about QAnon in advance.

Inflation in the U.S. is being driven by profits, not wages. And interest rate hikes don’t reduce profit-driven inflation. What they do is put the burden of inflation on lower-wage workers and the poor. How about we target corporate profits, not working people, for a change?

Reminder: 221 House Republicans voted this week to undo President Biden's legislation to make the ultra-wealthy and big corporations pay their fair share in taxes, at the expense of middle-class Americans.

Republicans wanna decide what books you can read, what words you can say, which history you can learn, which gender you are, who you can love or marry & what you can or cannot do with your own body, but do go on about how ‘Dems are coming for your gas stoves and M&Ms’ won’t you.

Russian missiles hit a 10 story apartment complex in Ukraine. Killing children. The GOP wants to defund US support for Ukraine. I heard Charles Lindberg's address to USA at start of WW2 in PBS 'US and the Holocaust' and it sounded like Jim Jordan today. History will not be kind.

Moderna is planning to charge $130 for its COVID vaccine, but the vaccine only costs $2.85 to make. Meanwhile, over the last two years, the company made over $19 billion in profits off the vaccine. Folks, this is what corporate greed looks like.

Missouri Republicans passed new rules: 1. Women lawmakers are banned from showing their bare arms. 2. Women lawmakers are required to cover their dress with a “second layer”. The road to the Handmaid’s Tale world is lined with people telling us to stop overreacting.

Republicans contend that an 18 year old is too young to vote, but that a 10 year old is not too young to be forced to give birth from a pregnancy as a result of rape. Make it make sense.

Why is it that Conservatives get all mad at the idea of taking their gas stoves, Dr. Seuss books, and other shit nobody's even talking about taking, but show them a video clip of Republicans vowing to end Social Security and they are dead SILENT.
