Listen to @whipkclark.bsky.social words on the inexpensive cost of keeping kids on Medicaid & Snap benefits vs. tax cuts for billionaires.

As usual, a words taken completely out of context to smear a Muslim and a Democratic Socialist.
I'm supposed to scared of a Bernie bro but not be scared of masked federal agents disappearing political opponents.
Everyone should read this. Read it. Seriously.
I feel like I'm losing my mind. Here is the transcript of what Zohran Mamdani actually said about the phrase "globalize the intifada." This is his "refusal to disavow it." This is what has people terrified. Just fucking read it.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene.

While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%.

End this oligarchy.

Trump has signed an order doubling tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from 25% to 50%. The move hikes import taxes on the metals, which are used in everything from cars to canned food, for the second time since March.

This will drive up prices for American consumers on a wide range of products.

I'm waiting for a moderately courageous press member who, when hearing Trump or a minion say tariff money is "rolling in", will ask, "Please describe for the American people exactly where the money is rolling in FROM?"
Then, use your platform to explain how cash is rolling in from consumer wallets.

The Court of International Trade rains on the mad king's tariff parade. TACO traders are sad that their roller coaster money making on the Chickenshit in Chief's chickening out might come to a halt. Sad. Some guys were making a lot of money!

And if you think it's bad now, the Billionaire Bailout Bill that passed the House this morning will be the biggest transfer of wealth in history if enacted.
A Friendly Reminder.

The next task the Republicans face is where to hide the bodies of the victims of this horrendous legislation.

Get caught up on the news with Ron Filipkowski.
I special interest is the fact that there is currently no import activity. The supply chain is drying up thanks to the policies of the Republican Party and their Orange Jesus.

So, fly a bigger flag at the White House. That should do it.

We need an AI solution that will only respond to questions that begin with "What the fuck".
Like,
"What the fuck is a tariff?"
and
"What the fuck is a fascist?"
and
"What the fuck, am I a fascist?"
Lastly
"What the fuck is wrong with Gavin Newsom?"
