btw Costco seems to have the cheapest updated COVID vax. You can get it without a card at the pharmacy and they do take walk-ins. If you’re also uninsured due to the massive amounts of layoffs this year, they also take this goodrx coupon to lower the cost of www.goodrx.com/comirnaty?sr...

without direct file, we all now have the PRIVILEGE of upgrading our turbo tax accounts which are now not-optional including the price that went up bc it can bc they know we have to use it to file our freaking taxes.
80-90% of polled voters say Direct File is a good thing. It is quite literally one of the most popular government programs in America.
If Democrats cared more about winning than making their donors happy, they could win 8-10 House seats next year just with ads showing off this tweet.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez deserve their luxury wedding in Venice, and I'm not just saying that because the Amazon founder paid me $1 million.

Oklahoma receives about $3 billion more in federal spending than it pays in federal taxes. That's nearly $8,000 per Oklahoman--only 9 states have a higher per capita balance of payments. Subsidies from MA, NJ, WA, CA, and a few others are how OK remains a "low tax state."
Sen. Lankford: "The Senate is not really excited about the SALT deduction piece ... we want to be able to say if you live in a high tax state, the option for you is to move out of a high tax state."

We already know that police will be brutal, the press will care more about property than lives, Democrats will do nothing, and Trump will push to consolidate power through brutality. We also know that everything he does is deeply unpopular.
The question is how will we organize and act together.

This is what a rigged economy looks like:
In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker.
In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker.
This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker.
That has got to change.

Historically, it has only ever been a short path from “Everyone has a duty to the national body’s health” to “It’s actually easier and cheaper to just exclude the unhealthy from the national body.”
A democratic society must not let such ideas linger, let alone elevate them to political power.

One reason that none of the scandals have ever *quite* stuck to Trump is that media companies have largely not chosen to make them stick. They drop a carefully reported story under an anodyne headline, nobody reads it, everyone shrugs and moves on
"foreign influence opportunity" is like "officer-involved shooting." A cop shot someone. Foreign interests bribed the president. Just say what happened!!!
