Trump didn’t like the numbers, so he fired the Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner. For any normal president, that would be a big scandal. For him, it distracts from the Trump–Epstein scandal, which has worsened since Trump revealed Epstein was poaching girls from his spa. 😳

... on the "secret" of rape and child trafficking. Now you must resign in disgrace or be impeached and convicted in a manner more ignominious than the impeachment trial of Andrew Johnson. Perhaps President Vance will be kind enough to pardon you of your many federal crimes

My message to the president: Pam Bondi informed you months ago that you are in the Epstein files, and you wrote a birthday card to Epstein that is consistent with your many other poorly drawn sketches and appears to have confirmed that you were in ...

“I wanna be in the Signal chat where it happens”

[Richard Thripp, PhD @Thripp2020]

@MikeWaltz47 Go back to Virginia Beach, Mike!

You’re in way over your head.

The Signal chat incident is game over.

How embarrassing, incompetent, and un-American.

You reap what you sow, Mike.

You should have stuck with being a Dick Cheney Republican.

Wow, Michael Waltz is not good at all at handling national security. This is outrageously incompetent.

@RobertGarcia So, Musk is a public official now?

I’d like to see Trump’s threats against public officials and private individuals taken seriously!

[Richard Thripp, PhD @Thripp2020]

Trump has unleashed the biggest federal brain drain this century with Musk and “DOGE.” It’s a national humiliation and is already leading to disasters.

From our meeting of @volusiadec Volusia Democratic Party tonight. Our secretary, Charleen, has been doing extraordinary work with our online presence and many other important items. We were joined by @JoshWeilFL6 Josh Weil for Congress and his team. Vote April 1, 2025 or sooner!

Today, the legislature of Florida debated a 87 page bill that was introduced just hours before that spends roughly half a billion dollars to curb the dreams of students.

They picked the name “TRUMP” to “own the libs” but these are futures at stake.

We here highly resolve that government of the billionaires, by the billionaires, for the billionaires, shall not perish from the earth.

Although this too shall pass, greenhouse gas emissions are permanent (and will be heading even more in the wrong direction), and many people won’t survive the 2nd Trump administration who would have with Harris.

…there was no way I could tell my students this was normal. In fact, it was the first time our Capitol was invaded since 1814, during the War of 1812.

Never forget what Trump did 4 years ago today. It’s always “heads I win, tails you lose” with him. Although he won 49.9% of American voters in 2024, many have been inured to propaganda, rather than truth. I was a high school U.S. government and history teacher at the time, and…

@elonmusk @DerrickEvans4WV Nope. We're keeping @MaxwellFrostFL

No 2nd grader should have to call 911 because a massacre is happening at their school. 😔

TBH the CEO of UnitedHealthcare killed a lot more people than the other guy.

[Richard Thripp, PhD @Thripp2020]

Free healthcare and make the billionaires pay for it

[Richard Thripp, PhD @Thripp2020]

Remember the stupid Biden gas pump stickers from the Republicans? When the Trump tariffs result in massive price increases on everyday products, we need to make it known. These will be accurate because he will have caused the inflation.
