Massachusetts decided to tax the rich, and collected $2.6 billion over the last 10 months.
That’s $2.6 billion more to spend on transportation and education.

Average global CEO pay has skyrocketed 50% since 2019 to $4.3M.
By contrast, average worker pay has risen just 0.9% over that same time period.
Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Global CEO pay increased by 50 percent since 2019, 56 times more than worker wages
Average CEO pay surged by 50 percent in real terms since 2019, while average worker wages increased by just 0.9 percent.

Pete Hegseth is a pretty despicable human being, on top of the other, many deficits he brought to the Pentagon
But you should be even madder at the 50 senators who knew Hegseth was an alcoholic, a serial abuser of women, and a poser massively unqualified for the post and yet voted for him anyway

It is mind-boggling that this guy is STILL using Signal. He literally put troops lives and our national security at risk and was incredibly lucky when the journalist he accidentally added had the decency to not share everything. And this time he added his family to the chat which seems intentional.

These 4 House Dems just sold us out, siding with Republicans to pass one of the most dangerous voter suppression bills in decades.
It targets MILLIONS of voters: women, trans folks, young people, new citizens, veterans, rural communities & more.
Shameful. Spineless.
