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.

I don’t want Chuck Schumer out because of his no vote to end the shut down. I want Chuck Schumer out because he couldn’t control his caucus and 8 of the people in it defected to the fascist side and voted with them!
He needs to be gone as Senate minority leader like yesterday!

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.
Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.
The American people need more from their leaders.

It's been 45 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.
Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

Totally agree, and also wish that Clinton, Obama and Biden had done more to balance out the three branches
Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.
He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

America in 2025: Latinos are being detained by ICE and other federal law enforcement agencies. Many are now carrying proof of status; just like free Black once people did.

The car is the albatross around the neck of all Americans. It’s the one thing you can’t do without to participate in the economy in many places, yet it’s also the thing that consumes so much of your income and life that you are a chained to supporting it.
The average new car costs $50,000. The average used car is $25,000. Insurance, repairs and maintenance are soaring. But America's car-centric habits also cost us in more subtle ways. n.pr/47B4pRT
Cars are essential in most of the U.S. They're also increasingly unaffordable
