It costs taxpayers $89,425 to incarcerate one person at Trump’s “Alligator Alcatraz” per year.

That’s more than what 95% of Americans spend on housing and food.

Republican priorities: Waste tax dollars torturing immigrants, while cutting support for working class families.

Everyone is focusing on Bove’s “f*** you” comment but not enough attention being given to the other bombshell in the WB, which is the premeditated violation of the Mass. district court injunction and subsequent cover up, the same injunction which SCOTUS stayed on Monday 1/

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

REMINDER: Netanyahu convinced Trump in 2018 to withdraw US from Iran nuclear deal that Obama and allies had negotiated. That Deal would've prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. All the death and destruction we are seeing now is bc of Trump and Netanyahu www.timesofisrael.com/in-recording...

Phoenix AZ today at the State Capital. Vid doesn’t really capture the size of the crowd but the energy was wonderful! My favorite sign, which I didn’t get a pic of unfortunately was “It’s 107 degrees but still don’t want ICE.”

The first and most important thing to know about last night's Exec order is that it's intended to break current law and allow people throughout the federal gov look at yr tax returns. Beyond that it's intended to compel states to turn over all their data to the fed govt.

Right out of the gate they are detaining U.S. citizens and saying their “papers”are fake. It was always a lie.

The inverted flag isn’t disrespect — it’s a distress signal from naval traditions, used to show grave danger to life or property.

With a lawless man set to take power after attempting to overthrow the government, America is in extreme danger.

That’s why I’m posting it today.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

So Republicans haven't voted to raise $7.25 per hour minimum wage since 2009 & $2.13 tipped minimum wage since 1991.

If minimum wage kept pace with growth, it'd be over $26.00;per hour.

Why do people think they'll do anything about grocery prices?

In the new year you’re going to see so many liberal personalities normalizing Trump and creating permission structures for the white middle class not to worry about the cruelty and instead prioritize their own financial well-being.

It’s been going for awhile, but it’s about to pick up.

What happened to JD Vance and his owner Peter Thiel? All focus has been on (the not even hiding it that he’s the real prez and power) Elmo. Even trump has pretty much vanished from the news. He must hate that, but I suspect Elmo has him by the balls thanks to Putin kompromat. And his $$$$.

There's something very wrong with this picture. No one should have so much wealth that there are millions more in poverty; many of whom are working.

This is getting out of hand.
