Taxing the rich is wildly popular across party lines but even more so with Democrats.
We’re pretty sure that makes it a big tent policy…

Gov. @gavinnewsom says he disagrees with Mayor @zohrankmamdani about the need for a wealth tax on billionaires, which he is “adamantly against” - says Dems are a “big tent party” with both views.

Publishing all the other boat murder videos but refusing to release the one of the two survivors being killed is an admission they know exactly how bad it looks. There's no other distinction to draw there, no reason to publish the others while withholding that one.

And yet he's just jumping into leaf piles on the streets of Cleveland.

I was just thinking of this quote by Kurt Vonnegut the other night - “You meet saints everywhere. They can be anywhere. They are people behaving decently in an indecent society.”
There are so many people living lives of quiet dignity despite horrific medical news or poverty or tragedy where every day they still wake up and try to be good people in the world even as the world pushes against them and it makes me even angrier at the absolute shitheads that rule over things

NEWS: We just filed a lawsuit against the Trump wage cut rule, which effectively expands the H2A guest worker program, and undercuts the jobs and wages of American workers.

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

It doesn't just threaten their First Amendment rights. It plainly violates them.
On Monday, the University of Alabama suspended two student-run magazines over fears stemming from a July DOJ memo. The student journalists I spoke with yesterday told me that the decision was nonsensical and threatened their First Amendment rights.

Do you support ICE kidnapping our residents here in Minneapolis? All I’ve seen you do is vote for the Laken Riley Act and strip away due process from immigrants.
You didn’t stick up for Minnesotans. In fact, your vote is impacting our Somali and immigrant communities heavily.
