Kamala Harris: When this guy is talking about the economy is roaring…

Who’s it roaring for when you put a $1 trillion cut to Medicaid? You know what Medicaid funds? Families with children, pregnant women, seniors, people with disabilities. Meanwhile, a $1 trillion tax cut for the richest people

Trump hails β€˜golden age’ in State of the Union as voters sour on economy Trump sought to project an aura of success despite sagging approval ratings.

Every time we check out at the grocery store or open a bill, working people see this economy for what it is: an everyday struggle.

Trump’s economy works for CEOs and billionaires, but the β€œGolden Age” has not made life more affordable for us.

Can it really be 53 years since Emerson Fittipaldi won the first ever championship #F1 #BrazilGP, having returned to his home city of SΓ£o Paulo as the first ever Brazilian F1 world champion? Yes, it happened #OnThisDay in ’73. Pic: Emmo’s black & gold Lotus 72D was a real beauty.

Toddler hospitalized with respiratory failure was returned to ICE detention and denied prescribed medication, lawsuit says The 18-month-old was sent back to a South Texas facility after days in intensive care with severe respiratory distress,

The so-called "pro-life," "pro-family" party is perfectly fine with an 18-month-old child almost dying because of the deplorable conditions at this detention center. Hello?

Bible verse to ponder, God speaking: β€œIs it by your discernment that the hawk soars, that he spreads his wings toward the south?” Job 39:26 NAB 1970
This hawk was only slightly larger than a Blue Jay… Relaxing, with one leg tucked-up, feathers fluffed out a bit, this little hawk arrived unexpectedly, resting ~ 10 minutes or so, casually gazing all around. Seen on a mild, recent February day.

A really small desert hawk,
only ~ 20 feet from my window,
peacefully gazing heavenward…

In Biblical traditions, a hawk can symbolize
the beneficial need of divine wisdom, life guidance;
than relying solely on our own sense of awareness.

Trump's attacks on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which have included gutting its workforce and dropping enforcement actions, have cost consumers nearly $20B in the last year alone.

It's a new golden age for corporate crooks.

And Trump is happily letting them rip us off.

Adam Kinzinger: Depoliticize the National Guard | Opinion Some public officials have floated the idea of using the National Guard or even the military to β€œsecure” polling places.

When our military becomes politicized, we all lose. The National Guard and Armed Forces must serve the nation, not partisan agendas. Read my piece in @newsweek.com and learn more about the new @thecountryfirst.bsky.social education campaign

The heads of Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Tesla all joined Trump at his inauguration.

Since then, largely thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill, their companies have reaped $51B in federal tax breaks β€” paid for by huge cuts to our social safety net.

This is what oligarchy looks like.
