The irony of Republicans controlling all branches of government while
bankrupting the country, starting a war, sending money to fraudulent programs, violating the Constitution, giving corporations immunity...
but arguing that the biggest problem we have is “stolen elections.”
@AmElectionHQ@GregAbbott_TX@GinaHinojosaTX The poll is not accurate, since the third candidate for Governor was not included. Libertarian candidate Pat Dixon should also be included in the poll.
The "Free Press" has a great article about the campaign, and it's featured on their website today in the U. S. Politics section. Thanks to reporter River Page for very fair reporting, though when I refer to not being able to spoil something that's rotten and putrid to begin with, I meant the entire political system, not just the Republican Party! https://t.co/1WQJYcFQou
@elielezra1 I remember on HSP when Gus turned quads against Daniel's full house. That was such a nasty hand. Daniel knew he had the quads but he couldn't lay down the boat..
I like the Freedom Caucus, but attaching the SAVE Act to warrantless spying is dumb. Why would we let the government spy on us in exchange for anything?
After we trade the Fourth Amendment for parliamentary advantage, what shall we trade the First and Second Amendments for?
@atrupar Let me help you out @JDVance,
The court isn’t withholding the files. That excuse (rule 6E) evaporated when our EFTA passed.
Your admin is illegally withholding many important files, claiming traditional “FOIA deliberative process privilege,” which the EFTA explicitly prohibits.
Inflation concerns among US consumers are intensifying:
~38% of Americans now perceive inflation as a greater risk than unemployment over the next year, the highest proportion since March 2025.
This percentage has risen +13 points over the last 2 months, the biggest 2-month increase in at least 2 years.
By comparison, 48% of consumers perceived inflation as a higher risk in July 2024.
At the same time, only ~5% see unemployment as a greater risk than inflation over the next year, the lowest reading in at least 2 years.
This brings the gap up to 33 percentage points, the widest since February 2025.
Inflation remains a major issue for US households.
@bogusbanks@PeterSchiff Intra governmental debt are spending commitments nonetheless. Unless these politicians eliminate social security or Medicaid then it's far from fairy tale debt
@LondonRiverSFW I rarely give the government the benefit of the doubt on anything, since their actions are always designed to increase government power and reduce the ability of each individual to live their lives free from coercion.
