@hannu_ikonen #Republicans talk gibberish, lies, and horseshit.
The #Democrats don't talk at all.

What the media won't say:
Stephanie Turner refuses to compete with a transgender woman... but had no issue competing with cis-men!
"The trans woman who she refused to fence only finished in 24th place. Stephanie Yurner, the forfeiter, also beat *multiple* cis men in a regional match just one week earlier.
And conservatives just paid her $5k for her kneel."

Bluesky Social · Eli Erlick (@elierlick.bsky.social)This story gets so much worse. The trans woman who she refused to fence only finished in 24th place. Stephanie, the forfeiter, also beat *multiple* cis men in a regional match just one week earlier! And conservatives just paid her $5k for her kneel. Why is nobody talking about this?

An actual opposition party would be all over TV for the next 10 days reminding people of this #tariff bullshit, letting people know that #Congress has the power to end this, & getting to work on doing just that. Instead all that exists is the #DemocraticParty so none of this will happen.
This man is an idiot
#Trump: “The #states are just an agent of the #FederalGovernment”
American #federalism divides power between the national & state govts.
It's literally the basis of the #UnitedStates’ system of government & he can even read about it on freaking Wikipedia.
Also, apparently #Republicans only believe in #StatesRghts when Democrats have power in the Executive or Legislative branches.
The #House to vote on the #Senate #budget resolution
#Republicans scheduled a vote for Wednesday evening, but they were still at least a dozen votes short of a majority for their fiscal blueprint.
A number of anti-#spending #HouseRepublicans said they planned to defy #Trump & oppose the measure, arguing it would add too much to the nation’s #debt.

Last month, #Trump signed an EO calling for the “consolidation” of these segregated records, raising the prospect of creating a kind of #data trove about Americans that the govt has never had before, & that…[#Republicans]…have historically opposed.
The effort is being driven by #ElonMusk, the world’s richest man, & his lieutenants w/ #DOGE, who have sought access to dozens of databases as they have swept through agencies across the federal govt.

Fun times...
"Here's the rule the House just passed for taking up its budget resolution -- with a provision
preventing any House member from filing a disapproval resolution on Trump's tariffs through Sept. 30.
See #6. They're insulating Trump's tariffs from being canceled by themselves."

Johnson is ensuring a deep recession!

"#Republicans have chosen "financial chaos, while insisting the market losses as a result of [#Trump's] tariffs are 'medicine' Americans need to take ...

The #Trump administration will be forced to recover and return any and all non-citizen's deported under Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 that swiftly removed alleged members of the Tren de Aragua gang without a hearing.
#SCOTUS made clear today that any non citizen deported under this law deserves notification and a fair #immigration trial.
#Republicans are in open contempt of the #Constitution.

"A group who took part in the major "Hands Off" protests against Pres #Trump have organized another day of action.
The 50501 group is promoting nationwide protests in all 50 US states on the same day against the Trump admin on Apr 19.
The group stated: they want 3.5% of the US pop, >11M people—to participate. They cite this figure as the threshold for "sustained resistance in order to make a difference."

Steve Daines, a Republican senator from Montana, says he’s concerned about the inflationary effect of #tariffs because #consumers pay the cost of tariffs in the short & medium term [the whole term]. But he says he’s encouraged that other countries are approaching the #US to negotiate [all #Republicans caveat their concerns w/some flattery] . He says #markets are rebounding today because “there’s hope that these tariffs are means and not solely an end.” [sure, Jan.]

#Republicans from #farming states have been put in a particularly tough position by the tariffs. “We all know #agricultural is usually the first place of retaliation,” Grassley says.
#Grassley says he has taken a vocal “wait & see” approach 
to #tariffs because he believes #Trump & Greer are using them as a tool to get fairer trade (nope). “If that’s not the case, level with me.”

#ChuckGrassley of Iowa, one of the few #Republicans who have signed on to #legislation opposing #Trump’s #tariffs, says in Greer’s hearing that he supports the president generally but believes #Congress has delegated too much authority to the president over #trade.
When #Republicans literally quote #Nazis in a positive light, they're Nazis. If you still support them, you're a Nazi sympathizer, which is of course just a closet Nazi.
