Think about all the $ not going inro Medicare & Social Security with all these job losses.
We're not saving anything. The tariffs are not paying down debt, we're aleady paying for these tariffs with higher prices and increased sales taxes, and i'll bet our federal taxes don't get lowered. With no transparency or accountability, they are going to make us pay for it all.
We here in the US PNW get most of our produce from Canada and Mexico. NAFTA is still a thing here. Should I stop buying?
I remeber having the 1st commercial grade cell phone plan which was Tracphone. Motorola phones were the only choice.
I wonder how our Healthcare 1st responders are feeling about this?
I think i read that their final plan is to pull the covid vaccines altogether. Hope not.
Doge did this Accidently on purpose?
Its called flooding the zone. I find some time to do something that brings me joy each day. Even if its 5 minutes. Im not letting them get that part of me.
But the price of eggs!!! God help us.
Actually they arent bad at all. They are mostly off higheays for travelers. Giftshop/ general store is cool. But the controversy and outrage over modernizing their logo and stores to bring in the younger generations is kind of dumb.
I love her too, but didn't she lose her seat in the new gerrymandered maps? Is she planning on running in that new district?
You would be arrested and charged with a federal assault charge. Lots of consequences come with that.
Maybe because people dont want to be charged with a federal felony offence by intervening, get beat up and arrested. Once you are convicted of a felony, no voting for you. I applaud people who dont care and push back, but im not going to judge those who are afraid, or cautious.
What is a haboob?
Thats called a feudal system. Theyre already making this a renters nation. If they get rid of FASA (federally backed student loans), only wealthy people will be able to send theeir kids to college. Goodbye middle class.
Molly Ivins was a firebrand Journalist and a real Texan. There was a documentary out a few years ago that told her story.
@joanespositochi.bsky.social C-SPAN to air nine hours of video that shows an interview between Ghislaine Maxwell and the U.S. Department of Justice; the footage will be broadcast on the main C-SPAN channel Friday evening.

The hike up to the very top is worth it.
3 monrhs for an annual wellness exam.
Crazy idea: Groups that have benefited from our freedoms…should defend them. Our media should defend freedom of the press. Our law firms should defend the rule of law. Our businesses should defend the free market. Our political leaders of both parties should defend free and fair elections. Our
I haven't heard any response from The White House. Hmm
Uh oh, This might be the straw that breaks the camels back. They'll ban Tik Tok
🍽 Tonight: The Longest Table, Lower East Side 🗽 📍 East Broadway (Jefferson → Clinton) New York City An open‑street community potluck where neighbors share one continuous table, building connections, celebrating NYC’s diversity, and turning strangers into friends. Bring a dish or just yourself. 💛
Of course. Who would of thunk.
This was the Senate. But i get it. The House still needs a quorum.
One party rule, controlling the $ and everything else that citizens, and corporations do, yes? Sounds a lot like communist China to me. You can be a communist, a capitalist and a dictator at the same time, no?
Dare I say the word Communism? Its what is sounds like. We're already in or near a surveilance state, controling who the Government helps or doesn't help. God help us if they control how we spend our money by forcing us to have crypto wallets and our 401Ks investing in crypto.
Isnt that Wayne Newton?
Is he on Bluesky? I used to follow him on the other place
Trump is involuntarily transferring people from FEMA to ICE. This is during hurricane season! ICE is having trouble hiring people despite the $50k bonuses, and student debt forgiveness!
I thought that was Wayne Newton.
Yep. Same here in the PNW
She's branding herself with the makeup and tough outfits and all these press conferences and professional commercials. Who wants to bet She's gonna run for President?
Dont forget, the bigger the cost of goods, the sales tax increases.
Dont forget the higher sales taxes.
Because sometimes “I love you” looks like this…
The Karen scream. LOL
I was just thinking that. Time to stock up on tea. The strong stuff.
Agreed. This is a waste of time and money. Just release the Epstein files.
I watch a lot of depression era cooking recipe videos on you tube. People can go in together and share costco or warehouse stores. purchases too.
I dont believe they take a cut, but they do adk for a donation to keep them going.
Yep.
The price of one pound of ground beef is now higher than the federal minimum hourly wage. @piperformissouri.bsky.social asks..... Are we great yet?
NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES (🎶) DAY 31 JULY 2025 THESE HORRENDOUS TIMES What America Is Thank you all for fighting for our Country We are Aĺl Immigrants We are a Democracy We are the Constitution We are the Declaration of Independence We are The Rule of Law Thank you Keep Fighting
Awesome. Love the hair moves and facial expressions. Ozzy would be proud.
For SS, you put in 6% of your earned wages and the employer has to match it. Same for Medicare fir when we retire. Theyre trying to wreck that too. We cant have anything nice that diesnt cost you an arm and a leg.
If you have a plan and have deductables and co- insurance, you pay about 15% of a Drs office visit until you meet those deductables which is about 4k - 6 k per yr. We want medicare for all, but the powers that be say no.
Sixty years ago today, Medicare and Medicaid were signed into law - securing health care for millions and saving countless lives. As GOP politicians try to tear them down, it's up to us to protect and expand these programs for Americans who rely on them today and for future generations.
Im pretty sure you pay taxes for that privilege.
They pay taxes to get that free insurance. We all pay, but its to corporate insurance companies. Even medicare folks have medicare premiums taken out of their SS checks and you still need to pay for other supplemental pla s to keep out of pocket to a min.
Like Sen Murkowski said "They're Afraid"
That was cute. Love Grandma.
I was refering to HR 1319 that if a bill passes the House and Senate, it could devestate Unions, including the Teachers Union.
I believe that TMZ was owned by Murdoc, but with all the changes, who knows.
The entire soundtrack was awesome.
HR 1319 that they will take up when evwryone comes back from vacation.
Its the exact opposite of Pres Biden's Build Back Better.
After releading House members early for summer break. They then passed HR 1319 which will allow employers to change emploee statuses from regular to contracted workers. They will take this up in Sept. Not seeing the media pick up on this. What do you think?
He had the audacity to ask for their supervisor. Didn't they realize he had them on video?
bsky.app/profile/pax-...
HR 1319 is gonna make their hair curl.
They snuck back in to submit HR 1319 and will vote on it when they reconvene in Sept. Surprise.
National Education Association. Teachers Union?
They must have a binder full of excuses for every idiotic thing they get caught at doing.
The cruelty is the point. Just like last time, they want this broadcast as a deterent.
You could carve a kayak outta that one. LOL
Dear @stephencolbert.bsky.social, Thanks for all the years of speaking truth to power & finding the funny in fascism. Looking forward to following you wherever you land, Your fan, Mar🐫
In 1939, Sir Nicholas Winton quietly orchestrated the rescue of 669 Jewish children from Nazi-occupied Europe, giving them a chance at life while much of the world looked away. He kept his heroic actions a secret for decades— even from his own wife. It wasn't until 1988… 1/2
My state has a death with dignity law.
I know it's not funny, but I giggled a little at your post.
They are also going to be affected with this bill. Millions will lose their Medicaid coverage because jumping through all the hoops put there on purpose to ensure people will just give up.
Yhat will be Dr Oz's plan to go to your local mobile clinic with a carnival like atmosphere and get your BP, pulse, PAD check on a sliding scale of course. Mersyships available at you nearest port if you need surgery. UGH
I'm following you just because this meme is too damg funny.
NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES (sound up) W/ LOVE DAY 17 JULY 2025 TODAY GOOD TROUBLE LIVES ON 5 YEARS AGO TODAY AMERICA LOST THE VERY BEST "IF YOU SEE THAT IS NOT RIGHT, NOT FAIR, NOT JUST YOU HAVE A MORAL OBLIGATION TO DO SOMETHING " "YOU MUST FIND A WAY TO GET IN THE WAY & GET INTO GOOD TROUBLE "
He lives in the Seattle area, so he shows up all the time during funding drives. He's such a lovely person.
I would encourage people to support their local PBS Stations during their fund raising drives.
I've always been a PBS donor supporter for decades and will now cut streaming services to donate even more. I encourage people to do the same.
80s were great. We had 2 looks, Pat Benatar or big hair.
And don't forget the suggestion that we all have those wearable health monitoring devices. Sounding more like communism every day. My doc says moderation in everything.
My sister a type 2 diabetic was on ozembic and lost 30# She went off it, and not only was gaining the weight back, her blood sugar spiked. Dr told her it was a long term or life long solution for weight mgmt and blood glucose mgmt.
He did almost die from Covid-19. Maybe long haul damage on top of his unhealthy lifestyle.
Congrats!!
Not to mention they're bringing in billions in tariffs which we're paying for and not getting anything for taxes we're paying while they're gutting government.
Weren't these files around during the 1st term? FBI raided Epsteins island while he was in prison, carried out loads of materials.
We might have to re-think future underground city planning.
It had mercury in it and it hurt like hell.
Why would a functioning democracy trade universal healthcare, human rights & basic decency…for mass shootings, Christian nationalism & a wannabe dictator in a red tie? The better path is to partner with Canada & not punish us. Keep dreaming felon47! CANADA WILL NOT BE BULLIED. WE ARE NOT FOR SALE
They will all get pardons.
I gave that platform up 7 months ago because it was bad for my mental health. Kudos to my pro democracy Dem peeps still on there.
Clarification, pro democracy Dems that still use X
And what do the grocery stores do when snap was extended and expanded, they raise the prices and the recipients still don't get a bit more food.
They get very large paychecks, why should they report the unvarnished truth. People should stop using their streaming services which I believe funds all of this nonsense, including the payoffs to the DJT Presidential library.
