And “Where’s the beef”?!? Why isn’t the media covering the high cost of beef nonstop the way they covered the price of eggs under Biden?

FFS Martha Raddatz “Why wouldn’t you want that here?” Really?!? Well for starters maybe the residents of Baltimore don’t want to live under an authoritarian fascist military takeover of their city. This is not Russia. This is not North Korea. Christ on a cracker. What are we becoming?

I don’t have an answer but I’m wondering the same thing and am extremely anxious about it.

This feels like the first shot across the bow. And how fitting that it’s coming from Boston, a city with a history of standing up to tyranny. Hold fast Boston! Hold fast!

Nope. Costco is not “dropping” Mifepristone, it NEVER SOLD Mifepristone because there was no demand for it from Costco members. Faith based groups are lying in order to hurt Costco, a retailer that supports things like DEI. Keep shopping at Costco.

My MAGA family members are still “all in”. Even praising tRump for supposedly “using his own 💰” to build the new WH ballroom. As if they expect an invitation to attend a ball in tRump’s ticky-tacky ballroom. The gullibility + ignorance of MAGA is astounding.
We have officially arrived at the era of Magic 8 Ball is science. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8kHBLdG/
There are billboards at job sites in Seattle that read: “President Donald J. Trump, Rebuilding America’s Infrastructure. Funded by the Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act.” Biden of course passed the Infrastructure Bill but tRump is taking credit and gullible MAGA believe it.
“Ticky-tacky” (adjective - 1. marked by an obvious lack of style or good taste. 2. shoddy and unimaginatively designed; flimsy and dull.) An old fashioned word, but it fits tRump so well. #Ticky-Tacky-TACO-Trump
But this message is not getting through. My MAGA family think tRump is spending his own 💰on this ballroom out of the goodness of his heart. They approve of this. Dems have nothing to counter the lies + propaganda from right wing media especially FOX.
Tariffs on one minute off the next. It’s all so exhausting isn’t it? Anyway, Costco sells a 12 pack of “Swedish dish towels” they’re reusable + washable. Makes a great alternative to paper towels. I highly recommend them!
Nope. Manufactured in the US yes, but the raw materials are sourced from Canada.
Another member of our well-regulated militia? Madness.
Very helpful advice. I’m utterly exhausted trying to reason with MAGA family members who twist themselves into knots making excuses for tRump + pushing conspiracy theories. More must be done to counter the influence of right wing propaganda esp FOX.

I have tried, with all my heart I have tried. My MAGA family refuse to believe their own eyes and ears when it comes to tRump. They twist themselves into knots making excuses for him. I will keep trying but the propaganda, outright lies and conspiracies from right wing media esp Fox is winning.
Agreed 💯%. The way MAGA twist themselves into knots making excuses for his unacceptable behavior - “just locker room talk”, “he said it, but he didn’t mean what he said”, “what about Hunter” and on and on. It is impossible to reason with people who refuse to see the truth in front of their own eyes.
Jan 6th should have been the end of tRump and MAGA. The gullibility and willful ignorance of so many Americans, egged on by right wing media especially Fox is astounding. Mr Dunn you and your fellow officers are true American heroes. Thank you.

Regarding Gavin Newsom, this gentleman is spot-on. 🎯🎯🎯👇

Wonder if Bill Barr told tRump that the files were “taken care of” and Bondi had to tell him that they still exist and his name is all over them.

“Let America be the dream the dreamers dreamed— Let it be that great strong land of love Where never kings connive nor tyrants scheme That any man be crushed by one above. (It never was America to me.)” Langston Hughes’ poem “Let America Be America Again” seems so appropriate for this July 4th
Already happening! The message Americans are getting from tRump is that Dems are responsible for gutting Medicare. And they BELIEVE him. Dems have nothing to counter the onslaught of lies and propaganda from FOX news and right wing media. My MAGA family members are brainwashed, they are not alone.

Don’t underestimate the ignorance and especially the gullibility of MAGA. They believe him. My MAGA family members who get all their news from FOX are completely brainwashed. Dems have nothing to counter the onslaught of lies and propaganda emanating from right wing media.

Wow, she schooled them with basic facts. She asked and answered the one question that MAGA folk NEVER bother to ask: Why?
My God, his voice hurts my ears.

That’s Dr. Kim Schrier @repkimschrier.bsky.social a pediatrician from WA state. She works really hard for her constituents. She’s great!

My MAGA mom (doesn’t live in NY) was criticizing AOC. I asked her to name her own congressman, she couldn’t. Gets all her “news” from Fox. Dems have nothing that has the same reach or influence to counter the onslaught of lies, fear mongering, fake outrage and racism from right wing propaganda.
📌
I begged Senators to not “move on” from Hegseth’s signalgate scandal. A major breach of National Security, yet it barely lasted one news cycle and he remains Sec of Defense. It has been one scandal after another now this. It is you - our elected representatives who must not move on. Do something!
Not many magazines I would pay $10 bucks for, but The New Yorker is one of them. Definitely worth it IMHO.

My MAGA family members still support trump. Nothing I say can change their minds. They get all their “news” from Fox. Dems have nothing that has the same reach or influence to counter the onslaught of lies from right wing propagandists with their fear mongering, fake outrage, and blatant racism.

Thank you so much, I will do as you advise! 💐
Any advice for moving a well established rose bush - super healthy tons of yellow roses (“Sunshine” I think, planted it a decade ago). Planted way too close to a fence. Would like to keep it in the same spot just moved out, away from the fence. In the PNW. Thanks

Every day I think it can’t get worse and then… JFC when will Republicans grow a spine and stop this madness?!?
These are the questions every American should be asking. Americans of conscience, we must stand together and confront any president so wholly unsuited to lead the United States.
Where is the pushback?!?
Yes Naomi, I am an energy healer (as of 10 seconds ago) and yes I can heal your heart 💔! For a small fee of course. Just VENMO me ten grand and your heart will be healed 💖. Sadly I can do nothing for your broken brain 🧠.

ENOUGH with this utter BS! Harris was a great candidate. She lost, not because of anything Biden did or didn’t do. It was the onslaught of fearmongering and the tsunami of mis/disinformation from the far-right that Dems and media like CNN did not and continue to be unable to combat.

So lovely! I’ve had my Hoya Keri for years, still waiting for a bloom.😔

Ah yes, Religion. The perfect means of controlling the masses and most importantly subjugating women. In my humble opinion we are all better off without it.
And they can’t forgive your student loan.
Trump will do this, but he’ll wait until right before the midterms - counting on mass protests. His MAGA goons will be sent in to incite violence giving him an excuse to declare Martial law and cancel the elections.
“Greetings fellow Riff Raff”! Or maybe, “Hello Hoi Polloi”! 🤔 On second thought, “folks” seems just fine.
Meant to say *DISinformation expert! Need an edit button! Either way, check out Julie’s work.
That will never happen, tRump is wholly owned by Putin.

I just came onto the gardening feed for a bit of respite from all the news of the day and this is the first post I saw. How lovely. 😊
