Look, I’m as tired of doing this as people probably are reading about it, but I just saw someone tell a bunch of people on here that wind farms don’t require much planning and can “easily be moved.”

That’s way off. Please stop doing this kind of thing and sharing it.

I’m a huge fan of wind energy. It’s our future. But please stick to facts and leave things to people who know what they’re talking about.

Sorry, Republicans. Donald Trump isn’t the only person on the planet with executive privilege.

Maybe they could go out and put something together for infrastructure, education, housing, jobs, manufacturing, climate change, or healthcare today. You know, do their jobs.

I came across someone saying they were proud of all the protesting they did when they were younger and that’s fine.

Anyway, one of the things they listed was being proud of stopping America from going into nuclear power and let me just share that this attitude and movement set us back pretty far on clean power and it’s good to look into why. 1/2

Yeah and going forward I don’t want to hear anything about him continuing to do this because this is basically a fee which he has agreed to pay to keep carrying on for his base on his gross platform. He can’t stop because he needs constant attention. I for one will not give this another bit of my attention.

I just saw a comment to a mutual that just straight up said “Nothing Joe Biden ever does will ever be enough to get my vote" and then expressed surprise that Biden isn't gunning for their vote.

A Utah man who recorded himself inciting violence and breaking a window before filming the fatal shooting of Ashli Babbitt outside the House chamber during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack was sentenced Friday to six years in prison.

People don’t have a right to go around inciting violence whenever they want. #FAFO

Truly do wish people on social media would give it a minute when events that are far away and impacted by a large amount of disinformation online happen before writing posts about how Iran’s actions weren’t significant because people were “warned.”

It would really help society as a whole considerably.

I fully support this declaration.

However, for anyone confused, this was not some “demonstration” by Iran’s government in which they knew the result would be failure. (And there were casualties.)

Iran's government fired hundreds of missiles and drones at Israel.

Biden wants to keep Medicare and Social Security and tax the wealthy to do it. Trump wants to cut it to give himself a tax break.

I’ll be voting for Biden. I agree with most of his policies. And I like presidents who haven’t bankrupted 6 companies, been found liable for defaming a woman he sexually assaulted, been fined $350M for business fraud, and been indicted 4 times on 91 felony charges.

Pharmaceutical giant Boehringer Ingelheim will bring down the cost of inhalers from $525 to $35/month for most patients. This move, which will help millions, comes after public pressure and a HELP Committee investigation led by Bernie Sanders, along with Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Ben Ray Luján (D-NM), and Ed Markey (D-MA).

Are Republicans out trying to reduce your medical expenses? No, they are not.

When I see Trump meeting with a fascist dictator or hear him praising one, I think of everyone in my family and friends circle who fought against those fascist regimes and their ilk. It’s lower than low to do this. Nobody should be voting for this guy. Nobody.

As Abbott references, there's no term limit for governors in Texas and Abbott would rather be king of Texas than Trump's lackey, so this was just bluster.

More concerning is the press conference today, where Trump said that people are "calling him politicking for the position" of Senate Republican leader and asking Abbott in his usual jokey way if he would like the job. Trump also wants to be king, and thinks patronage jobs are his to give.
