The forecast is that “three decades from now — the term of the classic American mortgage — houses will be worth, on average, 6 percent less than they are today . . . , affirming fears that many economists and climate analysts have held for a long time.”

@DarrenJBeattie @lsanger You mean, half the US population is having a say in their government. Disaster!

This is a five alarm fire.

The people elected Donald Trump to be President - not Elon Musk.

Having an unelected billionaire, with his own foreign debts and motives, raiding US classified information is a grave threat to national security.

This should not be a partisan issue.

If this isn't enough to freak everybody the fuck out, I do not know what else will.

“Vote for me and you’ll never have to vote again.” Less than 2 weeks into his presidency, how do you now interpret this statement?

[Fred "Til" Klem @fredklem1]

For those among us who only watch Fox or One America News or other primarily right wing news, you may not know that Elon Musk now holds the controls to the US payment systems. Will I still get my Social Security check - not sure. https://t.co/ARxIwbwtu8

@NJAmy213 Me!

@pearl_goldman Oh, Pearl, I'm so sorry - and horrified. Been missing you since pretty much leaving Twitter. Are you on Bluesky yet? Lots of friends there,...

[Fred "Til" Klem @fredklem1]

@kneerecon @joncoopertweets Just found you there and followed.

[Fred "Til" Klem @fredklem1]

@kneerecon @joncoopertweets I'm on Bluesky, too. My BP is grateful.

[Fred "Til" Klem @fredklem1]

@joncoopertweets I haven't watched anything but the PBSNewshour in a couple years.

Keep your puppies indoors.

Help me remind the Press Elise Stefanik campaigned for George Santos.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

To recap, the Republican Party has opposed:

-Paid sick leave
-Paid family & medical leave
-Universal childcare
-Universal pre-K
-Tax increases on corporations & the rich
-The expanded Child Tax Credit
-Student debt relief

Doesn't sound like the party of the working class to me.

@HC_Richardson I've been waiting for you to do that. You're going to blue skies? I'll see you there.

Adding another 'strange event' about the election: Musk’s software Starship is the software that handled ALL the swing state ballots.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Reminder: Trump's Project 2025 called for loosening workplace safety and nondiscrimination laws, eliminating public-sector unions, and gutting child labor protections.

Don't believe for a second that Trump will be a pro-worker president.

@HeidiBriones They're like that because they have morals and integrity. It sounds like they're decent people. It isn't about politics. It's about moral choices. You voted for a corrupt racist. Your father-in-law didn't.
