Yes, because prices dropping is deflation, hugely dangerous. Deflation happened in the 1930s with the Great Depression, so there's that....
What does work is to raise incomes, to assist with job creation, and Biden/Harris were already working on that with the infrastructure jobs, the Chips manufacturing in the USA, the green energy jobs, the support for unions , and reopening the discussion of the national minimum wage. But too much of the electorate might not understand the Great Depression, or the 1970s/1980s since that's last time we experienced inflation. This a Sputnik moment for increasing civics instruction and accurate history curriculum. A democracy depends upon an informed citizenry.
That's why the pumpkin head loves undereducated voters. BTW midterm elections are right around the corner in 2026. Be prepared. 💙🗽💙

🗽💙🌊💙🌊🗽 For infrastructure, for union support, for chips manufacturing, for veterans healthcare, for pharmacy price control, for strengthening EPA, for taking another attempt at legislation and policy that courts blocked, for green energy, for support of native peoples, for childcare and child tax credit to lift children out of poverty in the richest nation of the world, and more.

Law Enforcement is instructed to run towards the suspect. The general public has different instructions. Here's an idea, gun control, because that actually works. It reduces the oversaturation of weapons in the population so that law enforcement can try to manage firearms. Lowest gun death rates: Massachusetts, Hawaii, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island. Highest gun death rates: Mississippi, Louisiana, New Mexico, Alabama, Wyoming. Gun control works.

I cannot believe that this guy ever earned a diploma from anywhere ever, much less a B.A. Many people speak a primary language, like Mandarin, but China also has many provinces with local languages and dialects. It is also helpful to speak "international" languages like French or English for business and/or diplomatic purposes. Many peoples of the world take on the language of the colonizer, like Spanish, English, French, Portuguese, while maintaining a native language like quechua or even a hybrid language like giufuna. It is so clear that the red state attack on accurate history instruction and the disappearance of civics has gotten us to this place. With learning and education comes understanding. It is very clear that this grifter never paid attention in any social studies class ever, and his attraction to undereducated voters makes it too easy to augment fear over the unknown. I just can't anymore.... This con artist is not the first demagogue and he won't be the last. We must take public education seriously, especially the damage that has been done by starving public education in the red states.

Absolutely. This is a Sputnik moment that screams the need for quality civics education and accurate history curriculum, at least. Also critical thinking, real debate techniques, propaganda and advertising techniques, what is a demagogue, what is xenophobia, etc. Even constitutional law. As an elective for juniors and seniors, why not?? Democracy depends upon an informed citizenry. The framers said so.
Because the Dept of Education is likely to be a huge mess, or worse, for the next four years, and because state departments of education have become very fraught places, some of this information might have to be shared by non profits, after school programs, responsible media, etc. Sort of like a school house rock project targeted for all age groups. We seem to be in a place where too many entities of a certain stripe see an advantage to undereducated voters who are less likely to engage with their representatives, less likely to unionize, more likely to settle for low wage dead end jobs, etc. We must break this cycle and find ways to teach the electorate what they need to know. Each one teach one.

The NYC right to shelter law protects homeless people. It protects anyone without shelter, period, doesn't ask why. However, some shelters are so poorly managed that homeless people actually reject the offer of shelter.
The central issue is that Adams is a bad Mayor. Period. No affordable housing plan, no plan to monitor and hold shelter providers accountable, no rational budget plan, no ability to stop doing favors for the real estate industry that completely controls him.
He is also a former Republican who is now a Democrat because that is a requirement for getting elected in NYC. (After all, NYers are not stupid. We elect Democrats because that is the party that fights for the working class. ) Now Adams is trying to sound like a republican, so that he can prepare for his next election, maybe for statewide office. Maybe he's trying to appeal to the north country. Here's what Adams is NOT doing, he's not doing his job. NYC is sick of this guy and his constant "hair on fire" photo ops.

A public safety constitutional amendment could easily list the items necessary for comprehensive gun safety. For example, training, gun safes, age limits, mental health assessment, red flags, waiting periods, etc. A constitutional amendment closes the state to state gaps in gun laws that illegal gun traffickers exploit to drive guns across state lines straight into the hands of criminals. Remember, Texas guns don't stay in Texas. I believe Gov Newsome is working on an initiative to add gun safety as a constitutional amendment. If such an amendment makes many people happier, win win. Btw, repeal PLCAA (2005) to restore liability to gun manufacturers, and their own lawyers will insist on gun safety protocols at point of sale to demonstrate due diligence in court proceedings.

@montetanktankkiller700 Yes, it is beyond sad, but most of all it is dangerous. A democracy depends upon an informed citizenry. The framers stated that clearly. Initially, that was their excuse for limiting voting rights to wealthy educated men who owned land. Thank goodness over time, the qualification for voting rights widened and changed. (Notice that today's GOP is trying to restrict voter access. Hmm....)
But with all rights come responsibility. The right to vote also means that you have an absolute responsibility to understand your history, all of your history. You must know who you are voting for. This orange grifter should have been spotted as a demagogue instantly. Also, if they had merely researched some of the things this clown was doing in the 1970s and 1980s, taking advantage of a city that was reeling from bankruptcy. That's why New Yorkers were shocked that anyone voted for him. He was a known con artist in NYC for years. So frustrating!
Adolescents are very intelligent. If you have a sneaky suspicion that your social studies teacher is a mess, or your state curriculum is a joke, it is your RESPONSIBILITY to go to the public library and fill in the gaps in your knowledge. Don't go to the Internet. Go to librarians. They have credentials and certification. They are qualified to do what they do, and they absolutely love to work with self educated people.
Sorry this was so long. This topic upsets me, because it is so important. Be well, stay awesome. 🗽

Need to prepare a test case that they will take to reconsider the immunity issue. That takes time.
But here's what we do now, do the work to make sure that the pumpkin head never returns to the White House. Vote carefully up and down the ballot. 💙
There is no shame in voting for an old ugly guy who knows how to get an amazing amount of legislation across the finish line. FDR was an old guy who was disabled; but got a lot of legislation done, stood up to SCOTUS when they threatened the New Deal, got us through the Great Depression and World War Two. Old guy. LBJ was an old ugly guy with big ears and an intense personality. He got a lot of legislation done, the Great Society, Civil Rights legislation, etc. Got a lot done before he was basically defeated by Vietnam. Old guys, sonetimes they know how to get legislation done. Getting things done, I'm for it! 💙🌊💙🌊 How about this GOP House? Are they getting things done? Hmm ... Weve got work to do. Stop talkiing, get to work. Volunteer with a community office, door knocking, talking to neighbors and friends and co workers, adding a voter registration table to the block party. Get to work, get voting. 🗽💙🗽

Dramatic lies are not the same as truth. NYC is one of the safest big cities. Mass shootings are not a feature of life in NYC, unlike Texas, a state with open carry no permits, over the objections of Texas law enforcement, chaos that is just an accident waiting to happen. In NYC, there is street crime, but because guns are rare, guns are spotted and responded to in dramatic fashion. That's called prevention, a luxury that an open carry no permit state cannot even implement.
Although there was a spike in NYC during the pandemic, strict gun control has helped to get guns off the streets again. NYC benefits from a regional approach, because New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island also use strong gun control. But NYC is constantly vigilant about the iron pipeline and the illegal gun traffickers who drive illegal guns up I 95 from flimsy gun law states. Chicago is vulnerable because their neighbor states, especially Indiana, have flimsy gun laws and gun traffickers drive guns across state lines straight into the hands of criminals.
Comprehensive federal gun safety legislation would close these state to state gaps, and a public safety amendment would enshrine gun safety in the Constitution where it belongs. Be well. 🗽

OMG, March 13, 2020. I will never forget. I was returning dvds to the Performing Arts library, and a librarian who knew that i love classic black and white movies said, "We're closing. Go, run, grab as many DVDs as you can, and I'll check them out for you. We're closing." I was like, "thanks...but what is going on? What do you mean you're closing?" NYC became a moonscape, Times Square empty, Astor Place empty, everything like a bad twilight zone episode. One million+ USA residents lost because of his complete lack of responsibility. Horrible lonely deaths without family, without funerals. No proms, no graduations.
Never again. How can anyone forget? Vote like your life depends upon it, because it does. 🗽💙🌊🗽

In some ways, the ERA is an unfinished story. The problem with the ERA is that they placed an expiration date on the ratification. Don't know if that's a typical move. Enough states did ratify, but not within the time frame. A legal challenge to the time frame could resolve the problem. Given the current challenge to safe reproductive healthcare, in addition to contraception, marriage equality, etc an equal rights amendment seems more necessary than ever. Challenging the time frame, or reintroducing a similar amendment draft with the additional information for contraception, IVF, reproductive healthcare, marriage equality could be an excellent way to enshrine all of the rights covered by the right to privacy. Ratification might be accomplished more quickly this time, especially if they/we do our homework on checking in with the states that already ratified the ERA.

@paulford9120 Yes, absolutely, the GOP should become a responsible national party again. But responsible is key. They must vet their candidates. No Santos, no pumpkin head, no Boebert, no MTG. They also need to return to a party with a mix of progressive, moderate and conservative positions. That's what made it possible to clear up the Watergate mess. There were moderate and progressive Republicans in those hearings asking tough questions, not trying to excuse inexcusable behavior, and a conservative like Goldwater made his visit to the oval office to secure the resignation.
Yes, it will take a long time. That's okay, there's lots of hard work to do in the nation in the meantime. I imagine there will be many independents caucusing with the two parties during the rebuilding process. But we should all know what we need to do in 2024. Must get that done first. 💙🌊🗽💙🌊

Today's flood of executive orders is a standard tactic to flood and overwhelm the population and the journalists so we hardly know what to focus on first, second, third. For instance, did you realize that one of his many executive orders blocks entry for Afghan allies who are still trying to entangle their INS paperwork? Unbelievably unsafe for those allies, really unsafe for our military in the future. Will allies ever want to trust us again? Is that what he wants? Does he know what he wants?
We must keep our heads down, plow through the firehose of crazy, and set clear goals. Explore the 25th amendment, for instance. Also, the midterm elections are right around the corner in 2026. 60 Senators and the House majority; not easy but a worthwhile goal. Difficult but in no way impossible. We like hard work; hard work is good work. Start test cases on some of these pardons, especially ones where witnesses and informants might be endangered by the release of the guilty party back into society.
Lots of work to do. Stay strong, stay safe everyone.

@montetanktankkiller700 Luckily, strong is what New York does!
Gerrymandering is a huge problem, especially because both sides do it, so the ugly secret is that actually neither side really wants to fix it. Yikes! For instance, NYS finally won both a Democratic Assembly and State Senate. On a the good side, they used that strength to fix some housing legislation, but they also flexed their muscles and created very gerrymandered maps to favor Democrats. They were so extreme, the NYS courts shut it down and appointed a commission to draw new maps. Those new maps were largely the reason that NYS lost 4 seats in the House of Representatives in Congress, which lost the majority which lost the Speaker of the House position. So...actions have consequences. I am willing to call Democrats out when they mess up. If they hadn't jump feet first into gerrymandered maps, we might have kept the House majority, Johnson might never have been speaker, Ukraine might have received their military aid more quickly, etc.
The whole gerrymandering system needs to be dismantled, and both sides have to be grown ups about that. It won't be easy. Right now there is so much on the plate (SCOTUS reform, immigration legislation that is sane and fair, green energy, etc etc) that I can't imagine that going to the front of the list.
What comes first? Resolving Gaza seems first. Surviving this election is also first. SCOTUS reform is also first, because the states can write all kinds of gun safety laws or voting rights reforms, but if this SCOTUS tumbles them all down, then what? SCOTUS just issued a shameful decision on voting rights in South Carolina. Yikes. Luckily, no one is immortal, and some justices are very old men. A different court is coming, if we can get through this election. Be well! ⚖️🌎🌍⚖️

The charity of extremely weathy people is a wonderful thing, but it will never replace government, and the progressive taxation levels needed to run that government correctly. Charity is unlikely to maintain the subways, support the housekeeping staff that keeps public hospitals clean and sanitary, pay the building inspectors who hold irresponsible landlords accountable, etc. Charity might buy new uniforms for the local school baseball team, but charity will not raise teacher pay in the public schools to recruit the best teachers to your state. They are not at all wealthy, but they work hard too, harder than hedge fund managers do. Government does many necessary things, and this idea that tax money is all a waste is toxic. If you don't like what your government is doing with your money, become a more active citizen. That's your responsibility in a democracy.

Just wanted to say, thank you President Biden. I am more that hapoy that VP Harris is our candidate, but, wow, let's not forget President Biden. Great legislation endures, and please remember that high levels of productivity on legislation is not President Obama's legacy, so.... I deeply loved the Obamas, but everyone has unique talents. Getting legislation across the finish line is President Biden's super power. Let's try to remember that President Biden has several months in his term, and I for one am curious about the legislation he still might produce in his last months in office. A nice SCOTUS reform bill and/or supporting an amendment to counterbalance the flawed immunity opinion would be my top pick. Also, an amendment to enshrine public safety in the Constitution.
Remember, President Biden is usually playing chess, not checkers. Lets continue to support him. Go Kamala go! Go Tim go! 💙🌊🐬💙🌊. Up and down the ballot to rebalance gerrymandered state legislatures and give President Harris the majorities she needs for the tough legislation that has been on the backburner for years.

The "beating Medicare" thing is a person with a stutter tripping up, plain and simple. He meant to say "beating big Pharma." Listen to it again. It's not hard to hear.
The conversation was about using a fair tax code to raise money for the initiatives that he wants in his second term, like expanding a successful program on pharmacy price control for Medicare. He wants to expand that to more people beyond Medicare. That's why you hear him stumble through a few medical issues like COVID.
If he were in a meeting with staff or Congressional representatives marking up a bill, he would stop, take a breath and a sip of water, and course correct. But because he is in a high pressure highly timed adversarial environment, he got flustered. That emotional component happens in stuttering, asthma attacks, etc. And knowing that you have to say everything in one minute doesn't help a stutter.
The way some people are piling on here reminds me of the outcry over Senator Fetterman. He's going to destroy the Senate, he can't cope, he wears a hoodie. None of that happened. Fetterman became a Senator who is doing the job. Given Biden's legislation production and NATO success, it's clear to me that he can do the job. 🗽💙🌊💙🌊🗽

The top line of this panel was: "People think this is a big set back. Is that true?" Now a lot a people in comments universe say, this is terrible, this is horrible, this is corrupt. Okay, the DC circuit court of appeals already has this on an expedited schedule for January 9th I believe. So SCOTUS thought, we don't have to expedite, because DC appeals already has it on the rocket docket. Then when the DC court rules, SCOTUS has the opportunity to concur with their opinion. That's actually quite speedy. Might not be speedy enough for March 4th, but some of the delays at this point are also about the amount of time needed to empanel a jury for a high profile case like this. I also think that we would have a much better SCOTUS if Thomas and Alito would go away, however, this particular decision is actually not a four alarm fire. Stay tuned. Make your voting plans now. ⚖️🗽💙🌊🗽⚖️

We need stronger civics instruction and accurate history curriculum. Voters should have been able to spot an obvious demagogue and see the parallels to the 1930s, but a weak foundation in history makes that difficult. Improved instruction is unlikely to come from the federal Department of Education, because the pumpkin is trying to eliminate that agency. Public schools are already overwhelmed by book bans. Hmm.....wonder why he loves undereducated voters?
This is an "Each one Teach one" moment, this is a Sputnik moment. Accurate history needs to come from neighbors, from public library workshops, from local museum meet ups, from after school programs, from bookstores and book clubs, from churches, from senior centers, etc. When Home Depot has a stack of Civics pamphlets next to the cash register, yeah, that's about right. I would like to add responsible balanced media to the list, but I fear that everyone will just stay in their bubbles and nothing will be achieved.

So, the last time the Democrats tried this was 1968? And how did that go?? The Democratic party split in an historically chaotic convention complete with a sloppy floor fight. And, of course, Nixon, the Republican, won. Nixon.
So ... we're doing that again?? No, the pumpkin head is much worse than Nixon, and we all know it. OMG.
Are any of these "media experts" using their brains? This story has been in the news for two weeks because it's dramatic, and the media needs clicks. I really don't think regular people raising their families, going to work, doing the laundry, walking the dog, no, I don't think they want this mess.
President Biden has an impressive legislative record, comparable to LBJ (ironically) and FDR. And we are tossing that aside because he's old and ugly? Okay, FDR was old and ugly and disabled. He saved the nation from the Great Depression and World War Two. Maybe Biden is old and experienced. Maybe some in the media are saying to themselves, "Ooh, an old fashioned foor fight, I have never seen one of those! That would make great must-see TV ".
This is not a joke. This is our nation. This is not the disciplined organized strategic Democratic caucus I thought I knew. 🗽💙🗽

The problem is that this "fire hose of lies' is a strategy that tends to overwhelm the opponent, because just as you are framing a response to one lie, five more falsehoods come in a wave. And remember in a debate format, the opponent only has about one minute to respond, so not enough time to make your point, then also fact check 5-10 lies.
Luckily, there is a fix for this. Vote Harris/Walz. 💙🌊⚖️💙🌊. Start making your voting plans now: extra bottles of water, check your voter registration status, update government ID if necessary, plan those carpools to the voting locations, and practice the dance moves for the victory party on the block!! 🎵🎶🎵💙🌊🎶🎵🎶 Our 2020 victory party included fireworks! See you in November! 🗽💙🌊🌆💙🌊🗽

Average joe drinking the Kool aid. No, the pumpkin did not help NYC in the 1970s. He took advantage of a vulnerable city that was crawling back from bankruptcy, greatly restricted in its recovery by "Big Mac", the state oversight "municipal assistance corporation.". NYC did not recover because of the pumpkin, but rather in spite of him. He used the 70s to pick up bargains, to worm his way into development funding that was intended for deeply disadvantaged neighborhoods, not midtown hotels, etc. Many of his workers and contractors were never paid. That's your heroic "businessman".
NYC recovered because we kept our head down, focused on arson, violent crime, gun control, improving shelter and avoiding hotels that were overcharging the city for shelter, supporting Tenant Associations, Block Associations, and community management of abandoned buildings, etc. Unfortunately, white collar fraudsters could fly under the radar in those years, and by the 1990s when the city was stronger we got to work on Trump University, his fraudulent charities, etc.
Use reliable news sources to find the truth. Doing your own research doesn't seem to be working. 🗽💙🗽

What is more important here is to understand the psychology of a mob. That day, many "normal" working people were in that crowd saying, "don't worry, the president asked us to come, and he can pardon us anyway. " Then the arrests, the investigations, an understanding that things had gone too far, that they had allowed themselves to get swept into a mob where gullible emotional people can provide numbers for the crowd, which then takes on a life of its own. Then they start to say, "Wow, I don't want to go to jail for this guy."
If this pumpkin man is allowed to pardon Jan 6th inmates, his ability to raise a mob will be restored, and that's dangerous for everyone. 🗽

Yes, one of the many orange executive orders did reverse the Biden work on lowering pharmacy costs. I'm not sure, I think one medicine might be protected because it was included in actual legislation, but it had been expanded to include other medicines through executive order. It was expanded because it was working and actually saving the federal government money to lower the debt, since the federal government was lowering reimbursements to pharmacies. Removed something that was actually working, helping people, and saving money. Just with the stroke of a sharpie.
That's why he released so many executive orders in one day. This is the firehose approach. If you release 100 orders, even responsible media can only cover two or three items at a time. The firehose approach usually overwhelms the populace and the media, makes most voters feel like giving up and disengaging, making things feel hopeless. Think of how your brain already feels like it's spinning from the craziness, the multiple falsehoods.
Don't get overwhelmed, get organized. BTW the midterm elections are right around the corner in 2026. 60 Senators and the House majority so we can pass legislation to repair some damage. Don't give up. 🗽⚖️💙🗽⚖️. Stay strong stay awesome.

Who is coming to save us? We are. 🗽 We the people, remember that?
Even without all of these trials, we already know what we need to know. In multiple civil cases held liable by both juries and judges. 91 criminal indictments registered by grand juries. If you had a wonky neighbor with 91 criminal indictments in 4 jurisdictions who had not yet completed all of his trials, would you ask that neighbor to babysit your cat? Watch for porch pirates? Volunteer to help with girl scout cookies? Why would anyone trust the nation and global alliances to a person with 91 indictments? Get a cup of coffee, think it through. Then vote blue up and down the ballot. 🗽💙🗽
When we vote in large numbers, we win. Period. The GOP depends largely on restricting voter access and low voter turnout. Do not give up. 🗽 Make your voting plans now. Voter registration drives, carpools for the voting locations, update government ID if necessary in your state, extra bottles of water. We will get this done, because we must. Vote 💙 up and down the ballot. It's the only thing that will wake up the GOP, clean house, and return to being a functioning political party again. 🗽💙🌊🗽
