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.

Sometimes the sheer idiocy of this moment overwhelms me. The idea that our convicted felon POTUS who incited an attack on DC police then pardoned the attackers & who's the most corrupt official in US history is going on an "anti-crime" ride-along in a city w/falling crime rate is...(brain explodes)

US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they don’t give us 50% of their mineral rights.
That’s not diplomacy, it’s extortion.
We’re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war.
Facts matter.

Don't let them take away our healthcare. Let them know you didn’t vote for this shit.
