We finally found something that Donald Trump loves as much as he loves himself.

Inflation.

@JakeSherman Sounds like the House needs new leadership 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Acyn How stupid are the MAGAts? Fox News is the purveyor of stupidity 🤦🏻‍♀️

[SC Flinn ☮️🌻🥥🌴 @flinn_scf]

@atrupar Nope. Trump is full of shit & Republicans just eat it up.

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America. 

He embodies the broken system we’re running against.

It’s time to come together: The People vs. Ken Paxton

[SC Flinn ☮️🌻🥥🌴 @flinn_scf]

Could someone please explain to me what “six gender” means?

As to tofu it really is a great protein alternative - absorbs all the flavors so very versatile.

Anyway Texas should vote for Talarico instead of another sleazy, corrupt bootlicking Trump Toad.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨UNHINGED: Ken Paxton calls James Talarico “Tofu Talarico,” “Six Gender Jimmy,” and “Low T Talarico” while ranting about vegans, trans kids, and “six biological sexes.”

This is what happens when a corrupt extremist has no policy to run on.

Talarico is going to destroy him.

@Craig_A_Spencer Leave all the sick Americans behind? that doesn’t seem very patriotic. if we had a functioning country with competent leadership there could be quarantine flights & mandatory quarantine time. Obama handled it quite well.

@atrupar Peekaboo, I see you!

Perhaps people are spending more because everything fucking costs more.

Oh look it’s a free-for-all for Republicans to grab MORE of our taxpayer money. They get a living wage & great healthcare. While we are out here trying to figure out how to make ends meet. It’s just total corruption.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

🚨 Every Republican present in the House Appropriations Committee last night voted to make THEMSELVES eligible to collect from Trump's $1.8 billion January 6th slush fund. I am not making this up.

I introduced an amendment to stop Members of Congress, the President, and the Vice President from collecting a single dollar from Trump’s slush fund unless a court actually orders it.

Every single Republican who cast a vote was AGAINST my amendment, making themselves eligible for settlement funds.

Members of Congress, the President, and the Vice President, have no business lining their own pockets by claiming they were victims of government weaponization. Trump set up this fund, now MAGA Republicans in Congress are ensuring they all can collect from it.

That is exactly the kind of self-dealing corruption the American people are sick of.

@MeidasTouch A Christmas Carol was apparently more inspiring than expected Trump is starting to look a lot like Ebenezer Scrooge.

[SC Flinn ☮️🌻🥥🌴 @flinn_scf]

@pkcapitol @Jose_Pagliery At this point a Welfare Check is probably appropriate. I says this only because of the lack of transparency. Kean has missed 88 votes without explanation according to Speaker Mike Johnson. His wife has “no comment” 🤷🏻‍♀️

Trump's corruption and subversion of democratic tradition risk becoming the norm.

@Overlap_Tech So humans will be relegated to second class citizens? This is the lead in to a dystopian society. We are fucked if we don’t fight this shit.

[SC Flinn ☮️🌻🥥🌴 @flinn_scf]

@BigElad @emzorbit Nobody. For sure the elected in the Joplin City Council. You should check out Joplin MO - the Wildwood Data Center. A local attorney has filed a lawsuit to stop it or at least get some facts & clarification. There are many problems in Joplin that a Data Center will not solve.

[SC Flinn ☮️🌻🥥🌴 @flinn_scf]

Trump was on the hook for ~100m in taxes owed. He filed the lawsuit outside of SOL. In legal terms that means shit out of luck. So he dropped the lawsuit & settled with himself. Waste, Fraud & Abuse in action. He is taking this $ from us. Where is Fraud Czar VP Vance?

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This New York Times piece is worth your time. Here’s what is happening, as simply as I can put it.

Back in January, Trump sued the IRS, an agency he controls, demanding $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns a number of years ago.

IRS lawyers did their jobs. They wrote a memo laying out the defenses that could beat the suit, including the fact that Trump filed too late. His own lawyer was in court when the leaker pleaded guilty in October 2023, more than two years before Trump sued.

The Justice Department never showed up to court. Never argued back. Never used the defenses sitting on their desk.

The judge got suspicious and ordered both sides to explain whether they were actually opposing each other or just colluding. The day before that brief was due, Trump dropped the suit.

Same day, his Justice Department announced a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded “anti-weaponization fund.” 

Trump gets a formal apology. The IRS agrees to drop any audits of him and his family, even though a 2024 Times report found a loss in an ongoing audit could cost him over $100 million.

The acting Attorney General, Trump’s former criminal defense attorney, picks the five commissioners who decide who gets paid. Trump can fire any of them. Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are not ruled out.

This is the most corrupt thing I’ve ever seen from an American president.

Where in the hell are my Republican colleagues?

There’s a generation a lot of people forget exists. We were born at the tail end of the Boomers, but we are not culturally the same as people born in the 40s and early 50s. We are Generation Jones.

And honestly, it explains a lot.

We grew up in a world that still felt fundamentally analog, but we were young enough to be dragged headfirst into the digital revolution. We are the bridge generation between rotary phones and smartphones, between slide rules and AI, between Walter Cronkite and algorithm driven media.

We remember when there were only a few television channels and the entire country watched the same thing at the same time. We also adapted to the internet, email, forums, social media, streaming and now artificial intelligence. We lived before and after the technological singularity hit everyday life.

That is not a small thing.

People born in the 40s came of age in a post World War II America that was still industrial, deeply hierarchical and institutionally stable. Their formative years were shaped by the Cold War, Vietnam, the civil rights era and a society where information moved slowly.

Generation Jones came later. We inherited the aftermath of all of that.

We were the kids who watched Watergate destroy blind trust in government. We watched manufacturing begin to collapse. We saw divorce rates explode. We were the first truly latchkey generation in massive numbers. We learned independence early because many of us had to.

We grew up with one foot in old America and one foot in whatever this new thing was becoming.

We played outside until the streetlights came on but we also learned DOS commands. We learned cursive and keyboarding. We had card catalogs and Google searches. We went from vinyl records to cassette tapes to CDs to MP3s to streaming in one lifetime.

We remember maps. We remember memorizing phone numbers. We remember life before GPS and before every human interaction became filtered through a screen.

And because of that, I think Generation Jones developed a very unique perspective. We are adaptable because we had no choice but to adapt. We learned technology as adults instead of being born into it. We remember a slower world but were forced to survive in a rapidly accelerating one.

That creates a very different mindset than either older Boomers or younger Gen X and Millennials.

A lot of us also reject the caricature people now associate with “Boomers.” We were not buying houses for the cost of a sandwich in 1965. The interest rate on my first house was over 14% and that was after buying down a point. Many of us got hit by recessions, outsourcing, pension collapses and economic instability just like younger generations did. We watched promises evaporate in real time.

We understand older generations because we were raised by them. We understand younger generations because we had to evolve alongside them.

That’s why the Jones generation often feels culturally homeless. We are rarely discussed, rarely defined and usually lumped into categories that don’t actually fit us.

But we exist.

We are the human transition point between the industrial age and the digital age.

And frankly, there will probably never be another generation quite like us again.
