Ya, the only thing Trump was inside was a 13 yr old multiple times...

Johnson has been protecting Pedos for 20+ years ...so that makes him just as bad

This is oligarchy. This is obscene.

While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%.

End this oligarchy.

Trump cut staffing at the VA, and now Dallas vets are waiting months for care.

Surgeries are being delayed. Vets are being left without mental health care.

I’ve called for an investigation—because if you claim to support veterans, act like it.

Effective Corporate Tax Rates

1950: 50%
2025: 13%

Top Marginal Tax Rates

1950: 91%

If you’re curious as to why the rich have so much and you have so little, these are good places to start.

Pilgrim’s Pride — one of the largest chicken processors in the country.

No question, this is a horrendous piece of legislation. But Google "To obtain a birth certificate, you can generally order one online through a government website or a third-party service like VitalChek, or in person at the county clerk's office where the birth was recorded." Let people know THAT.

Wow, this is the first time we've heard this number. Previous reporting suggested it was $6 million. So now it's $15 million of U.S. taxpayer dollars to imprison people in El Salvador without trial.
Van Hollen says he learned that Trump Admin agreed to pay El Salvador $15million to detain the men they sent there. He is aware that there is a "document that memorialized the payments" but he has not seen the document itself.

Her family speaks English and was able advocate for him. But what about those that can’t?

In my Substack post this morning: "Does anyone doubt that when inflation rises, [Trump will] dismiss it as “fake news”?"

I only got to be prescient for a few hours ...
Trump: "Prices are coming down, not going up. Only the fake news says they're going up. The only thing that's even are interest rates and if we had a Fed chairman that understood what he was doing, interest rates would be coming down. He should bring them down."

So now bringing back manufacturing is NOT about bringing back jobs unlike his previous statement of people using small screws. So what happens to the American worker? We are a consumer society but robots don't shop and don't pay taxes. That's why we need to implement Universal Basic Income NOW.
Howard Lutnick - Expensive robots will replace cheap labor. 🤔 American robots will beat everyone else's robots! We will hire robot mechanics! Robots can sew! Someone tell Lutnick about American farm subsidies.

With the federal government in chaos, it's on states to protect workers.

In Colorado, where laws suppress the right to organize, a bill that empowers people to negotiate for fair pay & safe conditions is expected to head to the governor.

It's time to protect workers, @govofco.bsky.social.
