What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works.

Trump claims he wants to lower housing costs, but his allies in the House just axed a bipartisan bill that UNANIMOUSLY passed the Senate to do just that.

If Republicans keep blocking legislation to cut housing costs, Democrats will pass it ourselves when we take back Congress.

Of course anyone with half a brain knew how this was going to end long ago: Walk away from Ukraine, walk away from NATO, blame Zelensky, lots of business deals between Trump, his cronies, and our new “friends” the murderous, corrupt, lying Russians.

Hegseth reversed the policy Mark Esper put in place in 2020, which was designed to prevent “discrimination, prejudice, and bias in all ranks.” Hegseth wants to know what they look like when these decisions are made.

If they pretend they haven’t heard about the story of the day, end the interview right there.

I’d like Republicans to be seriously asked to justify calling random drug runners terrorists.(e.g. Tom Cotton yesterday on the shipwrecked “narcoterrorists” we killed) and random liberals communists” (e.g. Stephen Miller today on the Department of Education).

Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night.

Any one of us could be on the next boat that Trump bombs on a whim.

Any one of us could be detained for hours despite being a U.S. citizen.

Authoritarianism hurts all of us.

I can't wait until the United States cleanses itself of all the ugly traces of Donald Trump. Take his name off buildings. Remove all the tacky gold bric-a-brac from the White House walls. Bulldoze his vulgar ballroom. Restore MLK, Jr Day and Juneteenth at parks. #Fumigate
Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks.

They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.
