I’m here for news and current events so unless we know each other IRL or have at least one point of contact in common… I will block first and ask questions later.

Please don’t take it personally.

  1. TAX 👏 BILLIONAIRES 👏 OUT 👏 OF 👏 EXISTENCE 👏

    Trump is going to bankrupt this country like it’s one of his casinos.

    The U.S. deficit blew up in July, even with a surge in tariff revenue—costs that we are paying at the checkout.

    📌 Trump’s spending spree burned through revenue faster than it came in.

  2. “We have other cities that are very bad and then you have of course, Baltimore and Oakland.

    We don’t even mention that anymore, they’re so far gone.”

    Meanwhile, in Baltimore…

  3. BALTIMORE MAYOR BRANDON SCOTT: “D.C.’s violent crime is at a 30 year low…. It’s notable every city Trump called out has a Black mayor - most are seeing HISTORIC LOWS in violent crime… he could learn a lot from instead of throwing things at us.”

  4. NYC = largest Black population of any U.S. metro area (3.5M residents)

    DC/Baltimore metro = 2nd largest Black population (2.2M residents)

    Oakland = popular destination for Black citizens fleeing Southern states during the Great Migration

    (Also the birthplace of VP Harris)

    Do you get it yet??

    Trump mentions NYC, Baltimore, and Oakland, says "they're so far gone," and adds, "this will go further. We'll starting very strongly with DC."

  5. The vicious cycle of monopolization:

    1. Corporations argue that their growth is just part of the free market.
    2. Use their monopoly power to gouge consumers.
    3. Take a portion of their profits to make political donations.
    4. Lobby against antitrust enforcement.
    5. Repeat.

  6. I feel like we should still be able to hold young people accountable for their actions without automatically rescinding the right to Home Rule for ~700,000 D.C. residents. 🤔

    REPORTER: Do you support a federal takeover of Washington DC as the president suggested?

    PIRRO: That is a decision for the president ... young people are coddled. And they don't need to be coddled anymore. They need to be held accountable.
