Am I supposed to care about this guy getting shot when children are killed on the regular in this country due in large part to “conservatism” and their refusal to pass responsible gun laws? HARD PASS

For everyone saying political violence has no place in this country… Remember two Democratic legislators were shot in Minnesota just this year. And America shrugged and moved on.

Up 60c per gallon in Eugene, OR since Trump took office at cheapest station. Costco's Kirkland gas now $3.59. I was paying $2.95 a month before the election. Of course, food prices have also gone up. In general the purchasing power of the dollar has dropped. He LIED! No surprise there.

Trump and Musk claimed DOGE would cut “fraud” and “abuse.” In reality, DOGE staff are so unqualified they can’t even be trusted to safeguard Americans’ Social Security numbers. Let's fire those risking our data—not the workers just trying to help folks get their checks.

American corporations are on pace to spend $1.1 trillion on stock buybacks in 2025, an all-time high. Buybacks don't create more jobs, increase wages, or grow the economy — but they do help juice CEO pay that's often tied to stock performance. Nothing trickles down to workers.

Perhaps this should read,for the sake of historical accuracy, that we now live in a country that is worse than the one our forefathers sought to escape. They also didn't intend for indigenous people, slaves, indentured servants, women, or non land owning white males to have a voice.

The reversal of Roe v. Wade has thrown us back decades while everything this regime has done; both in this term and in their first; has set us back a century. We, the PEOPLE, must take this country back and fix it. We can start by voting the Republicans out and locking up their convicted leader.

It's because #47 has put him on the back burner, like many Vice Presidents who were made running mates to strengthen the ticket. He is also a threat to #47 because he is a heart beat away from the office. # 47 is going to make Vance as irrelevant as possible. This may work to our advantage.
