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.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Fact. They want that Manhattan zip code regardless of what it costs them. The other 16.5 million people in NYC actually need it to be affordable rather than being forced to fund those few.

I suspect a great many New Yorkers watching wealthy people’s wealth *fail* to get them preferential access to the mayor-elect are feeling better and better about their vote for Zohran Mamdani.
Canadian multimillionaire and Shark Tank guy Kevin O'Leary went on TV to say he's upset Zohran won't talk to him: "I and others who invest in real estate have tried to get a meeting to figure out what's rhetoric and what's policy. So far for me it's been crickets."

Ugh. This statement encapsulates milquetoast equivocation of govt representation
Upon describing what best can be called *state terror* don’t say our rights are “at risk”
What happened to “if it happens to one of us it happens to all of us”?
Our rights & liberties already have been trampled

Building a pro-worker economy shouldn’t be partisan. Investing in clean energy and good jobs should be a red, white, and blue issue—but for today’s GOP, nothing matters more than cutting taxes for the rich.

Kinda amazing how the GOP refuses to make this lay up of a play. I think it might have something to do with swearing in Grijalva... kinda makes you wonder just how bad those Epstein files are.. they are willing to stiff the service members...
A few minutes ago in the House:
- Speaker Mike Johnson officially cancels votes next week, extending the House recess through a fourth week
- House Republicans block Democrats from passing a bill to pay the troops during the shutdown, ensuring they will miss paychecks next week

Someone anonymous could fix this for them, I think they missed the mark. Congress shut down the government. HUD will use available post DOGE resources to help confirmed white wealthy Republican Americans in need. Donations will speed the process.
This is the website for HUD. How tacky and ridiculous.

You’ve failed miserably. We had high hopes for you but time to step aside.
You voted YES to honor a racist, homophobic hate monger. Disgusting and unforgivable.
You’re no leader. Step aside.
