In polls, #Biden and Trump are in a tie 43-43%. Hard to process given Trump’s dystopic record. And Trump II will be way worse than 2016-2020.
Big question over here: Is Europe preparing for what it would mean to be sandwiched between #Putin and #Trump? Unfortunately the starting point for this scenario would be much increased self-reliant #defence spending and inner-European defence cooperation… https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/01/us/politics/biden-trump-poll.html
If I'm ever gong to court, I hope it's in #Florida where there are no lawyers to be found so I'll never enter a plea. I'll remain free there, just like Donald Trump and his henchmen.
The law is of the rich, by the rich, and for the rich and their henchmen. The only reason Trump is even under indictment is that he pissed off the rich.
The #Biden administration is moving the #SpaceFoce HQ from #Alabama to #Colorado. I think the patriots working there will appreciate receiving medical care without a #Republican standing between them and their doctors, swinging Hitler's Bible. #Women#Soldiers If the old south wants to rise again, it's going to be a very hard lesson for a lot of poor people worshiping a fascistic golden calf slinging bullshit.
I may not be the biggest fan of #SpaceForce (in theory), but this is definitely the better call (HQ in Colorado), and I say this as my family worked on #Apollo+ and most are still around the Huntsville area.
JFK director Oliver #Stone says he made a MISTAKE voting for Joe #Biden in 2020 because he fears president will start World War Three with his support for #Ukraine
#Biden administration is launching a beta website for its new income-driven #StudentLoan repayment plan today, officials told CNN, allowing borrowers to begin submitting applications for the program as federal student loan payments are set to resume in October.
When we talk about the abuses of #GigWork, there's some obvious targets, like #AlgorithmicWageDiscrimination, where two workers are paid different rates for the same job, in order to trick occasional gig-workers to give up their other sources of income and become dependent on the app:
But the #Biden admin, pushed by the party's left wing, made a string of historic, excellent appointments, including #NLRB General Counsel #JenniferAbruzzo, who has set her sights on punishing gig work companies for flouting labor law:
UNITE HERE 11 has brought a case to the NLRB, charging the Instawork, the UC system, Marriott, and Aimbridge with violating labor law by blackmailing gig workers into crossing the picket line.
Where did it all go right for Biden? Facts blunt Republican attack lines
Crime is down, inflation is falling and the border is quiet. Little wonder the House speaker is floating impeachment of the president for … something #News#USA#Politics#Biden
Biden is up against a twice impeached adjudicated sex offender under indictment for espionage and a Florida man who has good things to say about slavery
@flexghost If the economy doesn’t tank and #Biden doesn’t encounter a major debilitating health issue, we will be able to make sure he wins because the alternatives are unthinkable. That being said I wish Biden didn’t run again so that more people would jump into the democratic primary for the democratic presidential candidate. Now we are gambling the health of our country on the health of an 80 year old man (and I don’t align politically very well with #KamalaHarris ). #USPolitics#2024Election
If you don't think Elon Musk will use his control of Starlink's space-based internet monopoly to further his right-wing, authoritarian, anti-democratic goals, you're not watching him do exactly that right now with his control of Twitter.
He's a security risk to the 🇺🇸 and beyond, and while I cannot understand for the life of me understand why the US government hasn't pulled /all/ projects outsourced to his companies by any federal institution/agency, I have even more trouble grasping why no journalist seems to cover this on a daily basis and challenges #Biden et al to pull the plug.
President Joe #Biden met with Italy's new leader Thursday at the White House, where the two reaffirmed their support for #Ukraine and talked of countering Beijing's growing ambitions – a particularly salient point for Rome as it mulls quitting #China's Belt and Road Initiative.
