Trump not knowing who he pardoned, if he pardoned them, or that they are a crypto CEO who just gave his family a $2 billion deal and then received a pardon, is a way bigger controversy than Biden and an autopen.

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.
See the problem?

Andrew Cuomo gave more money in taxpayer subsidies to Elon Musk than the entire cost of Zohran Mamdani’s free bus plan.
It’s not unreasonable or radical to want our tax dollars to go to programs that help us, instead of as giveaways to billionaires.

Republicans and union-busting brands will post “Happy #LaborDay,” knowing damn well that they were the types of people Labor fought against to bring us:
- minimum wages
- overtime pay
- 8 hr workday and a 40 hr week
- end to child labor
- workplace safety
Support unions.

A win! The Senate has agreed to restore roughly $400 million in funding for PEPFAR, the landmark HIV/AIDS program launched under President Bush that’s credited with saving millions of lives around the world. Keep speaking up, it makes a difference.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work.
You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules.
Get your lies straight.
