Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.
That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.
Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Centrist Democrats in the Senate folded on the shutdown, throwing away their leverage in exchange for worthless GOP promises.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

You can’t afford a coal mine.
You can’t afford a gas turbine.
You can’t afford an oil rig.
Only fossil fuel states and billionaires can.
But you can afford a solar power station on your roof.
Now, ask yourself why you encounter so much anti-renewable energy propaganda.

Health insurance is a legalized scam. One-third of many people's salary and it pays for nothing until you've already shelled out additional for a deductible that's well into the thousands. Even then, they may just say "No, we're not paying."
It's time for universal healthcare.

Despite Trump's claims, what politicians like Sanders are pushing for is not akin to the authoritarian-style socialism in places like Venezuela.

If anyone needed another reminder of how deeply unpopular the Trump-MAGA Republican agenda is, tonight was the night.
But we cannot relent and we cannot become complacent.
