FWIW, social democracies like Norway, Sweden etc have big businesses. They have billionaires.
They also have universal healthcare, quality free education & child care, and programs to curb poverty and food insecurity.
How?
Their billionaires pay taxes and don’t control the government.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.
The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.
Wanna fix fraud and abuse?
Fix that.

Republicans scream about voter ID. Fine. So why aren’t Democrats launching a full-blown...nationwide effort to help every eligible voter GET one? If the GOP wants to make IDs the battleground...then Goddamnit...equip people for the fight. This should be a no-brainer.

#dealdash is running an ad for a game, where the first combatant says they are calling in the CALVARY.
It should be the CAVALRY.
IF YOU ARE THAT SLOPPY WITH YOUR AD, WHY SHOULD ANYONE BUY YOUR GAME?

I came in to get a handicap placard, and was greeted at the door by a lovely security guard. I waited in line less than five minutes before getting called to the window.
I was out the door in less than 10 minutes.
Thank you.

NOTHING bothers Trump more than knowing that people don’t fear him. He hates that more than anything. What did he expect? You can’t pose like this…and expect people to shudder in fear. That picture screams, “Will you paint my toes?”

Just mailed off my state Gubernatorial ballot. Kissed the envelope, in case it’s the last time I get to do that basic act of Democracy for a while. 😢

(Senate republicans can change the rules with a simple majority to pass a continuing resolution with 51 votes. They do not need democrats. At all. So if they really want to fund the government, they will.)

Garcia on Tom Homan: Yet he is somehow possibly taking a $50,000 bribe to steer contracts—while at the same time trying to deport everybody else. I think a few folks have said it, but it bears repeating: he should be self-deporting himself.

Trump is too small minded to understand the presidency. He has wanted only two things all his life:
- Making money by any means
- Sexual gratification by any means
He’s using the Presidency to evade the law for the crimes he committed in both areas.
