“I’m sick of your Sunday services.
I can’t stand your worship concerts, your polished sermons, your packed auditoriums.
Your prayer breakfasts and revival weekends
I want nothing to do with them.
Even your offerings, your tithes, your charitable campaigns

And any Republican who refuses to renew health care subsidies for hardworking American families, saying we can’t afford it, needs to explain how they found $1 trillion in tax cuts to give away to the wealthiest people in America.

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.
It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.
It corrupts our political system every day.

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported.
Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad.
We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

in 2001 an article was published by Mimi Abramovitz called "Everyone is Still on Welfare: the Role of Redistribution in Social Policy". 24 years later the problem is even more exasperated by hoarding of wealth by the top 1%. The original article this is based on is even older from 1983.

Question: Why did US put big tariffs on India despite major national interest in cultivating a strategic counterweight to China and trying to isolate Russia?
Answer: Because the US president lied that he fixed India-Pakistan and India wouldn’t go along with the lie.
