Rents are soaring. Interest rates are crushing. Corporate landlords are winning. Regular Americans are losing. This isn’t a slowdown—it’s a systemic collapse. And Trump is absolutely to blame, along with his Republican accomplices. #TrumpsHousingCrisis

@vetrano_paul @DemocraticWins Um, no. Democrats created a surplus under Clinton, lowered deficits. Got millions health care coverage and consumer protections. Invested in science, education, clean energy, and infrastructure. I am just warming up.

@robert97986 @fishingVince @DemocraticWins There is plenty of moderation in the Dem Party. It's not perfect, I agree. But your logic is off. It's like deciding you don't like a dent in the fire truck and so dislike firetrucks when your house is on fire. Our collective house is on fire The GOP are the flame-throwers.

In 2021, scientists announced something extraordinary: a newly described whale species, the Rice’s whale. The only whale species that lives exclusively in the U.S. waters of the Gulf of Mexico, Rice’s whale is so unique and beloved it’s often called “America’s whale.”

But this species is on the brink of extinction. The 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil disaster devastated Gulf wildlife and killed around one in five Rice’s whales. Today, scientists estimate only 51 individuals remain alive.
Rice’s whales received protections under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), helping safeguard their habitat and requiring industries operating in the Gulf to take precautions to avoid driving the species to extinction.
Now, those protections are being stripped away.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), under the direction of Under Secretary Neil Jacobs, is moving to eliminate important protections for the Rice’s whale. After already approving sweeping exemptions for the oil and gas industry during a March 31 federal committee meeting, NOAA is now taking steps to remove Rice’s whales’ ESA protections entirely.

The science is clear: Rice’s whale is a distinct species in urgent need of protection. Without strong Endangered Species Act safeguards, this species could disappear forever.

Please tell NOAA: Protect Rice’s whale. Defend the Endangered Species Act. America’s whale deserves a future. The link below takes about a minute at most.

@sgjr1962 @DemocraticWins Injecting bleach for covid, ruining the CDC, disrupting federal cancer research, and taking away healthcare from millions of Americans is the polar opposite of curing cancer. That’s your guy.

@fishingVince @DemocraticWins Are you high? You’re remembering a time that does not exist. Republicans would attack Obama because be wore a tan suit and were so angry at a black president being elected that they did everything in their power to undermine him. Trump is divisive, thin-skinned, and nasty.

@drboom781952 @Fredvelezcrypto @Savageboston @PardonMyTake You seem to have little understanding that it was the culture (front office and coach) that helped create the magic, creating the rigor, strategy, and relentless drive for excellence that were critical for success.

[glcorbett @glcorbett]

@Lacey4Trump24 @EricLDaugh About the only brave thing he did.

[glcorbett @glcorbett]

@PrdAmerican1 @GovPressOffice Nope. Never noticed that. Ever notice the constant vitriol against Obama, down to the color suit he wore?

Hallowing out the middle class? Making the world more dangerous and unpredictable? Alienating our allies? Starting a fruitless war? Defrauding the country of billions and trampling on the constitution? Congrats then. If that’s what you voted for (stupidly), then you’re getting just what you hoped for.

@buccocapital @deedydas I needed a good laugh today. Thank you. You delivered it perfectly.

Senator Collins finally told a local NBC affiliate: “What I have is an extremely common condition that is called a benign essential tremor.” The outlet, News Center Maine, used the same language in its headline: “Sen. Susan Collins reveals medical condition: benign essential tremor.”

There’s just one tiny problem. The condition isn’t actually called that. It’s called “Essential Tremor.” Movement-disorder neurologists dropped the word “benign” from the name over a decade ago — and for good reason. The condition coincides with a 300% increased risk of dementia and a 45% increased risk of death. Lazy journalism and dishonesty from a GOP Senator. So what's new?

@GemelliJames @RpsAgainstTrump If you actually believe your own talking points, it's actually hard to be mad. Rather, I just feel sorry for you.

[glcorbett @glcorbett]

@JohnGeorge19799 @HalfwayPost They should. Because it is true.

[glcorbett @glcorbett]

@itsrosesm The trumps are leeches grifting billions. Donating $200k is a mirage that only morons fall for. Trump got a half billion dollar plane; did you miss that?

[glcorbett @glcorbett]

@DemocraticWins I like him. He is not the front-runner by any polling.

[glcorbett @glcorbett]

@mitchellvii It takes a special person to willfully ignore the victims' testimony and the hundreds of photos of Trump leering at underage girls in the # EpsteinFiles and the hush money to porn stars, and so much more.

[glcorbett @glcorbett]

@OldeWorldOrder Ha, then your movement is pretty screwed.
