I can't tell if it's because I'm too NYC focused but does it feel like the news cycle spent more time crashing out on the fact that NYC picked a brown Muslim dude as is primary candidate then it did on a right wing extremist who shot 2 Minnesota legislators killing one, her husband and dog?

Meta will pocket $15 billion from one new tax break in Trump's budget.
That is more money than the federal government spends annually on childcare.
Trump's budget is filled with tax breaks for wealthy corporations while screwing over American families.
It's disgusting.

I thought this was the party of no regulations. True, except when it comes to people.
Insane to me that a group of people who were like 'I'd rather die than let the gov't inject secret chips into us' are going to go all in for 'the government is fastening a device to my body that monitors all my vitals and the gov't gets to observe the information that comes in'

Anything this regime says is a lie at worst and a gross mischaracterization at best. This is a map of L.A., with the dot on the affected area. The mayor, the governor, and the LAPD have all said that federal involvement is unnecessary and unhelpful. They’re doing nothing but causing problems here.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).
