Is JoJoFromJerz a grifter?
Let’s take a look.
Over a year ago, Jo claimed she needed money to fix her fridge, then it was to save her house, and now it’s also to fix & repair her house, including “a new roof, a new furnace, and a new chimney liner”.
What’s next? A new car?

Let me be clear: the country is gone. You may still think you have one, but it's like phantom limb syndrome. Don't look yet. It's too painful. But when you're ready, gaze upon it. For all its volume and noise and mass... it is but an illusion. What comes next is hell, and chaos.

Suddenly, the US stock market has soured on the Trump presidency. The most obvious explanation is that Fed is not likely to cut the interest rate as much as anticipated, since inflation just rose. But this is hardly the full explanation./1

A small 🧵about Donald Trump’s pick for Secretary of Defense, the Senior leader of the military under the President & 6th in line of succession to the President. To the left is General Lloyd Austin….

A senator told me that the rumor on the Hill is that Elon Musk is threatening to fund a primary challenge to any House Republican who doesn’t fall in line with Trump’s agenda.
Elon Musk is expected to join former Trump at the House Republican conference meeting this morning, @KateSullivanDC reports.

Women have never heard of Urogynecology because first we’d have to admit why Urogynecology exists
Are the people who’re leaving here deleting their accounts, or keeping them for a while? #Twexit

If this “Department of Government Efficiency” isn’t actually sanctioned by Congress — it’s an outside entity — who is funding it and what are the potential conflicts of interest?
Hey @GOP you know how dumb and irresponsible this is, right?

Trump just gave one of the most complex, difficult and important jobs in the world that requires a lifetime of experience, knowledge, and achievement in military affairs to a Fox host.

What happened? Well, the Democrats were the decent caring party. The all-inclusive party. The protectors of immigrants and women's rights (Roe v Wade). The Democrats fought for Blacks, gay marriage, and LGBTQ. The Democrats fought to keep books in schools and free lunch.
The Democrats fought for all these things. Alas, it wasn't enough. The Republicans ran on hate, lies, bigotry, and racism. They ran horrible racist ads about Hispanic people. They took away women's rights. The Republicans dogged gay and transgender people. Yet, it was just what America wanted and needed. Make no mistake. There were no undecided voters in this election. They all knew what they were getting.

If you support eliminating the Department of Education, you do not support our students. Period.
@USEDgov provides funding for:
✅Students w/ disabilities
✅Rural students
✅Programs that make college affordable
This would be bad for students, and bad for America.

Trump has now reaffirmed his plan to eliminate the U.S. Department of Education. For the record that department funds, among other things, all the special education and special needs program in public schools and public colleges in all 50 states.

Huge news for public education in WI:
DPI Superintendent Jill Underly announced a plan for 90% special education reimbursement for all public schools in our state - the same rate that private voucher schools already get.
Closing the special ed funding gap helps all kids!

Elon Musk says he will end funding for housing, health care, and education so you can achieve "the American dream."

What has people reeling is the fact that 50% of voters heard the cruelty from his own lips and were happy about it.

Trump and his people have exhibited no interest in the legally required transition process. I suspect it's for two reasons:
1) As of 2019, they have to sign certain ethics pledges, AND reveal all conflicts of interest. I don't think they want to do that.
But also...
