The President could have refilled the Strategic Petroleum Reserve ahead of time. But he didn't.

A chart showing that since 1985 the cost of a home in the US has increased to a difference of about 300,000 over income from about 60,000 over income making houses unaffordable

The reason things are unaffordable is because policies in Washington have given all our productivity gains to Billionaires. Affordability is not a hoax. Elect Democrats who have a plan to fix this chart.

Prices shocks from the #TrumpWar are now battering the American economy. American consumers are taking it on the chin, just as we already have from Trump's reckless tariffs. #TrumpDidThat

We had a soggy but inspired group show up in Petoskey to air our grievances! Themes included no war for oil, loving our neighbors, loving our country, freedom, kindness, diversity, justice, and courage. Many are the things we might have taken for granted in the past. Thanks to all who joined today.

Saturday 3-7-26 about 60 hearty souls made it out in the fog and the rain to People’s Park in Petoskey MI to exercise their 1st Amendment rights. The folks driving by were supportive for the most part. @deanobeidallah.bsky.social @stephaniemiller.bsky.social @thomhartmann.skystack.xyz

Ol' Carpetbagger Rogers is showing again his disdain for the every day people of Michigan as he cozies up to the billionaires of the state. Less than 8 months to the election for our new US Senator.

We can agree that Mike Rogers is the least qualified candidate currently running!

Celebrities, sports legends and former presidents all gathered in Chicago's House of Hope to pay their respects to the late Rev. Jessie Jackson.

A number of speakers shared stories about the life of Jackson including three former presidents: Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

This is the same fact in Michigan elections, yet paid petition circulators managed to con people into getting 750,000 signatures hoping to get a similar state level SAVE Act on the 2026 ballot. There were less than a dozen issues in 2024, .00028% of the vote.

It's pure voter suppression.

Feb Jobs Report shows 92,000 jobs LOST!! The unemployment arrow is now pointing straight UP to 4.4%. Where economists expected a gain of 50,000, Trump has instead delivered a 142,000-job catastrophe in 28 days. 😑

Kristi Noem is out at DHS. Markwayne Mullin is in. The former MMA fighter is replacing Noem after a deadly tenure leading Trump’s anti-immigrant campaign.

Kristi Noem is out and Trump wants Markwayne Mullin to replace her. As Pete Townshend once said, "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss."

How War in the Persian Gulf Could Spill Into the U.S. Economy

In choosing to defeat the War Powers Resolution, Republicans may have pushed the United States into an economic drag that could become heavier and cost taxpayers much more. "There’s a risk that Iran could trigger a lot of trouble.”

U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for β€œArmageddon,” Return of Jesus Advocacy group reports commanders giving similar messages at more than 30 installations in every branch of the military

Give this a read @slotkin.senate.gov and @peters.senate.gov then sound the alarm and STOP this insanity now.

Armageddon isn't going to get that murderous chud a peace prize. This is our country declaring a jihad. WE are the threat, not Iran.

Quit ChatGPT: right now! Your subscription is bankrolling authoritarianism | Rutger Bregman As a historian, I’ve studied the major consumer boycotts of history. We can take down ChatGPT and send a powerful signal to Silicon Valley, says author and historian Rutger Bregman

#QuitGPT might be more important than the #TeslaTakedown. ChatGPT has agreed to give the Pentagon unrestricted access to its tech, which could be used for mass surveillance and autonomous weapons. Quitting ChatGPT takes 10 seconds, and alternatives are as good if not better.

Of course. No one wanted this war. They wanted food and health care and energy prices to go down. Now all those things will cost more.

It's a war of folly by a doddering old man who likes when things blow up and needs to distract us from the child sex ring he's connected to.

It won’t be Trump’s children dying in the Middle East β€” it’ll be working-class kids sent to war by his unauthorized action. Call your reps NOW. Block this war. Demand a vote on Reps Khanna and Massie's War Powers Act.

We have seen the statements from Senators Slotkin and Peters today condemning these actions. We all need to call Bayou Jack Bergman and express our disgust and frustration at his refusal to condemn these actions today.

Repeatedly during his campaign, he made claims that we all knew were false about his intentions. When he decided to change the name to Department of War, it was clear he was ramping up to go on the attack. Here we are.
Ask those MAGA supporters their thoughts today. Maybe this is the bridge too far?

Under the War Powers Resolution, presidents must consult Congress for authorization for sustained hostilities. Trump’s Iran campaign is not a one-off strike - he calls it "a massive and ongoing operation". Congress must vote before we slide into full-scale war. CALL YOUR REP & SENATORS
