Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.
That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.
So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Life finds a way—this tree pushed through pavement and even wrapped itself around a stop sign in L.A. #Nature doesn’t ask for permission.

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him?
No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens.
Fascism is here.

AOC: One thing I love about Arizonans is that you all have shown that if a US Senator isn’t fighting hard enough for you, you’re not afraid to replace her with one who will.

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Trump: widening inequality and the unchecked power of billionaires.
There's no "center" anymore between a takeover of the government by oligarchs and true freedom.
Dems need to learn this.

More of this please.
Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Pitch for a new spy movie: a CIA agent spends years getting close to a terrorist suspect then just before he gets the crucial piece of evidence he’s fired and replaced with a teenager who doesn’t speak any foreign languages but does have a lot of followers on X.
