Because they don’t actually want to help stay at home parents, they’re just looking for something to justify stealing money from a program that helps single parents

Either choose to participate in capitalism or they stick you in a box and commodify your imprisonment

He chose to campaign on the message that the economy was great after signing legislation from Congress that sabotaged it for some of the most vulnerable instead of being honest with the American people about and now we’re all suffering the consequences

And the way he raped children with his good friend Jeffrey Epstein, really doesn’t want people talking about that

Look, I’ll be the first to say that Republicans are all revolting, but this headline way oversells the article underneath it

Sen. Roger Marshall posted on Facebook Tuesday that he would defend the Wichita workforce while sharing Trump’s objective of increasing U.S. production.

“I’m going to fight to keep Bombardier’s over 1,200 Kansas jobs,” Marshall wrote. “I’ve already taken that concern inside the Oval Office.”

He said he and the administration “agree on the mission” of bringing well-paying manufacturing jobs to Wichita and expanding Bombardier’s U.S. production, pointing out that American buyers account for more than 50 per cent of the company’s sales.

“I remember when my classmates’ parents worked at Learjet — later Bombardier — when it employed well over 3,000 people,” Marshall said. “Bombardier is obligated to grow that footprint in Kansas again.”

…

Wichita Mayor Lily Wu said in a statement Monday that Trump’s post “certainly creates some uncertainty,” but she is hopeful the situation will work itself out.

Wu wrote that the city appreciates Bombardier’s continued investment, adding that she plans to meet with the company to better understand what the news could mean for its local operations.

In her post, she quoted U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran of Kansas, who said he “reached out to the Trump administration to make certain the President is aware of the significant contributions of Bombardier to Kansas and the importance of its presence in Wichita to many Kansas workers at Bombardier and in the Bombardier supply chain.”

Now you know how the tens of USFL fans felt

Childhood poverty (arc) for one, but basically any one of like ten million opinion polls from that time could have told you the economy was not working for most people

The founders didn’t really give the Presidency that many powers, things just kinda devolved that way over the years because Congress didn’t want to make tough votes, e.g. the Vietnam war wasn’t ever technically a war because Congress didn’t want to own it by declaring one, so they just told Eisenhower/Kennedy/LBJ/Nixon to figure it out for them with a bunch of vaguely worded resolutions and lots of military funding in budgets.

Also, it is the founders’ fault that they gave us a system with an undemocratic Senate where Wyoming gets as many votes as California that distorts everything in our politics because they wanted to protect the little state government fiefdoms they’d made for themselves.

Except a) we still have the biggest nuclear arsenal on the planet, b) there really is no settling with fascists, they will keep genociding and invading and stirring shit up until enough people finally get sick of them and put it to a stop

What I think doesn’t really matter. Big picture, you’re asking trans people and their allies to be active participants in their own dehumanization, and that’s just not going to happen at the numbers you need to reliably win elections so we’ll just be back into a fascism crisis in one or two elections again at best with these kind of candidates.

The only way things get better is if the least bad party gets better, both so they actually try to make things better and so that they do a better job keeping fascists out of office, so I hope for every comment people make telling voters what they need to do and think they’re writing five to their lawmakers telling them to stop being such a hard product to sell.

And that’s after the last guy kept insisting Israel was the good guys when they clearly were not and the economy was doing great when it clearly was not

It’s not right that somebody with a fun to say last name is such a bummer of a human being

they’re better than the republican alternative

Except they aren’t if you’re trans.

The people who really need advice aren’t voters, it’s the professional political consultant morons who are allowing their own candidates to throw away voters like this. Besides being morally abominable, it’s just bad politics.

Democrats only care about the marginalized as far as it keeps them in power

Most of the Democratic party is a lot better than this, but we do need to do a much better job of kicking shitheads out

Like some kinda shitpost?

That “though” tho

If they really believed money is speech then forcing us to give it to a business to exercise our legal rights really should be a clear cut 5th Amendment violation, but of course they don’t believe in anything besides power

Basically every single song from the Moby album Play was in basically every single commercial on TV

On a related note, Jon Bois mini series on the history of mound charging is hilarious and brilliant

So I guess Fortune magazine just discovered inflation today? Fuck your dumb oligarch divisive bullshit, the only problem with Social Security is that the wealthiest haven’t been paying enough into it.
