New Yorkers kept telling me the same thing: they’re thinking of leaving because they can’t afford to raise their kids here. Universal childcare isn’t just a promise — it’s how we make this a city for everyone.

Told you so! The Telegraph denounces Brexit as 'unmitigated economic disaster'
We've now got The Telegraph joining the Brexit resistance, after the formerly pro-leave paper ripped into its 'near-disastrous' consequences.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

I see what the GOP is doing here.
Do you?
Making the ACA completely unaffordable, it will cause people to drop their plans. If not enough people are enrolled, it makes the ACA obsolete & then they can get rid of it altogether. That is and always has been the plan.

Biden had nothing to do with this. It is deliberate sabotage. Grifters have stolen billions and plan to crash our systems forever. Project 2025 spelled out every damn page. Wake up and push back. Unite. Peaceful but LOUD.

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running. This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

You know, apropos of nothing in particular, and although I haven't researched it yet, I strongly suspect that a president starting a foreign war to distract from his extensive ties with child sex traffickers is probably a high crime or misdemeanor under the Constitution's impeachment clauses.
