Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Repubs won’t even acknowledge that Dems are trying to keep health insurance premiums from skyrocketing for 20+ million Americans?
They are just going pretend that isn’t happening & keep repeating this “free healthcare for illegals” bs?
What do the 20+ million think about that?

Day 2 of the Republican shutdown. Your regular reminders:
1. GOP controls government. They control what bills get voted on and the vote thresholds for each bill. Senate GOP can pass their bad funding bill today if they felt like it.
2. Dems are fighting to lower costs and save healthcare.

I talked on MSNBC today about the corruption playing out at the FCC. This isn't just about Jimmy Kimmel being silenced. The FCC is planning to change the rules to allow the company that shut down Kimmel to have a monopoly-like stake in local TV ownership.

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security on 100% of their income.
A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security on less than 1% of their income.
Instead of raising the retirement age, we should scrap the Social Security tax cap.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

Why did Congressional Republicans jam through an unpopular budget with the largest Medicaid cuts in history?
It could be because nearly 70% of them would financially benefit from the bill's extension of Trump's tax cuts for the rich.

There’s obviously a lot going on right now, but two people were killed and nine others were injured during a mass shooting in Philadelphia yesterday and it barely even registered as news. In most countries, that would be a massive story. Here in America, it’s just another day.

If you're a billionaire, then you'll barely notice a few thousand dollars a year in higher prices at the store from these Trump tariffs - plus you can count on him to get you another big tax break for the wealthy.
But for everyone else, this is a big deal, and a bad one.
