Republicans don’t want federal dollars to be used to rebuild the Baltimore bridge. A reminder of the reason why our infrastructure is so behind & crumbling in the first place — they put politics over people every damn time!
Republicans think they’re blocking Biden, but here’s what they’re really blocking…
• 52,300,000 tons of cargo moved through the port in 2023
• 140,000 jobs impacted by the collapse
• 2400 Union jobs at risk
• $2 million in lost wages per day
• 2nd largest US export port for coal

Is the White House aware that Jared Kushner had a private meeting in Tel Aviv with Netanyahu on December 21, 2023?
Is he still operating as the Middle East Envoy for his father-in-law?
I've been waiting for another opportunity to remind y'all that it ain't the gay or trans people, it's not drag queens or non-gender conforming folks that are getting arrested for pedophilia. It's mostly straight, mostly white and mostly conservative men that are pedophiles.
When over million people died of Covid because of his cover up. I am sure many MAGAs lost loved ones. Unless they don't care about them how can they say they were better off during his dictatorship?
Russian propagandist Dmitry Puchkov says there’s no point in trying to “re-educate” Ukrainians so they become “Russians again”
He says it’s better to shot them all.
Thunderous applause from the Russian audience.
Genocidal maniacs

We just finalized a rule saying major railroads can't unilaterally decide to run a 2-mile-long freight train with only one crew member on board.
It’s as common-sense as it gets - yet the railroad lobby just came out and called this "overreach" by USDOT. I am not making this up.
Jared had sent the bulk of the national PPE stockpile to China at this point. He had also given a powerpoint lecture about how New Yorkers dying of Covid was a good thing for Republicans.
On March 21, 2024, the Federal Trade Commission released a report of their year long investigation into Grocery Supply Chain Disruptions.
The FTC concluded that the reason grocery prices are still high, even though inflation is down and the economy is doing so much better after the pandemic, is bcos, “dominant firms used this moment to come out ahead at the expense of their competitors and the communities they serve,” said FTC Chair Lina M. Khan.
According to the FTC report, retailers have contended that the higher prices merely reflect their greater costs, but the FTC report found data that indicate otherwise.
According to the FTC report, food and beverage retailers saw their revenue rise to 6% over total costs in 2021 — higher than the previous peak of 5.6% in 2015. Then in the first three quarters of 2023, they went even higher — to 7%, the report said.
“Notably, consumers are still facing the negative impact of the pandemic’s price hikes, as the Commission’s report finds that some in the grocery retail industry seem to have used rising costs as an opportunity to further raise prices to increase their profits, which remain elevated today.”
In short, the high grocery prices we are paying is NOT bcos of anything President Biden has done, or is doing. We are simply paying high grocery prices bcos retailers are greedily price gouging the American people to increase their profits. And thus, increasing their pocket books.
But let me also remind you, these high grocery prices and retailers price gouging us at the grocery store, could have been avoided if the @GOP@HouseGOP@SenateGOP would NOT have voted against the Lower Food and Fuel Costs Act back in June 2022.
🚨 #BREAKINGNEWS Republican Congressman Tim Walberg @RepWalberg says the United States should stop all humanitarian efforts in the Gaza Strip for Palestinians and just nuke them. "Get this over quickly."
Jared Kushner weeks back said Israel should level Gaza because condos could potentially be profitable with water front properties.
Don't you dare tell me President Biden is the same as these animals. 🚨 https://t.co/jCafgXj9hE
