Trump betrays coal miners

With a current value of $0.001 per ton, it does not look like coal will be making a comeback in the United States. That's the outcome from a recent coal lease bid for *subsidized* coal. They lowered the royalty rate (& cut environmental regulations) to encourage the sale. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨💧🔋 A short 🧵

The New York Times doesn’t give prime coverage to No Kings

This is disgraceful – it should be the top story,

Those with sharp eyes might detect a subtle difference in NYT play last month of an event in one city, w 100,000+ attendees, versus play this morning of some 2500+ events w many millions of attendees, in all 50 states.See if you can spot it! /sThen you can find today's story on p A23

The Drive-By Truckers are reissuing Decoration Day with live recordings

I love this record. See my prior post below:

Decoration Day – Drive-By Truckers

Don’t take Republicans’ word on calling a vote

Republicans won’t keep deals. Remember this? (I didn’t.) Then there are tne rescissions that undo budget deals already made.

In the last government funding deal, Schumer got a handshake promise from Republicans to hold a House vote to undo a block on D.C. spending $1B of its own revenue. Then House Republicans simply never called the vote.Guarantee, schmarantee.

Trump lied when he said he wouldn’t cut Social Security

This is a bad idea that is unfair to older workers

Trump plan would limit disability benefits for older Americans

🔥After promising NO cuts to Social Security, the Trump Admin. is prepping a proposed rule REDUCING share of APPLICANTS who QUALIFY for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) by up to 20%!It’s the LARGEST cut EVER to SSDI. CRIMES AGAINST PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES! 🤬www.cbpp.org/blog/trump-a…

Trump and his cult have no respect for the Hatch Act

The Hatch Act keeps the government non-partisan. As a long-time federal employee, we were often reminded about it, especially around election time.

They sent out very biased emails blaming shutdowns on Democrats,

Watch this quick explainer on the Hatch Act and you’ll see just how far the regime has gone—propaganda in airports, partisan emails, and political orders from the top. It’s not “messaging,” it’s a full-blown assault on the law that keeps our government nonpartisan.

Last week Noem tried to turn airports into propaganda theaters, w/ security checkpoints playing video blaming Democrats for the govt shutdown. 19 major airports, including JFK, Seattle-Tacoma, Phoenix, Denver, Boston-said no. The Hatch Act (the LAW) prohibits such abuse#USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

This administration keeps torching the Hatch Act—propaganda videos in airports, partisan emails on federal servers, even mass firings. It’s corruption with a flag pin. See something? Say something. Expose it through the whistleblower tip line.1 202-924-2065
