America is a "flawed democracy" bulleting towards dystopian hellscape. When democracies are ranked, we're not even in the top 25!!!

Who's surprised?? It's always been a propagandist's dreamscape. 😂
Twitter implemented a new feature last night that displayed the country an account is in. So many of the ‘America First’ accounts were from foreign countries that they had to disable the feature within hours. 🙄

If you were looking for another reason billionaires shouldn't exist, check this out...no one person should have this kind of influence on the government of the most powerful country in the world. Just think about what that really means because it goes way beyond tax breaks!
We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com.
We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.

How does Trump know the president of Harvard was with Epstein "every night" and "every weekend" if he wasn't there too? 🤔

To be clear, when Mike Johnson is saying he wants the bill to release the Epstein files to have "more protections for victims," he's really referring to the perpetrators. Prove me wrong.

No one should be serving them. Just completely ignore them. A little shunning goes a long way.
I’m still struggling with the fact that ICE “brown shirts” went to a taco shop and thought they would get served.
F that!

Imagine the society we could have if the wealthy had just continued to be taxed at the rates they were during WWII. It's not just wealth accumulation, it's wealth consolidation - that money that is simply removed from economic circulation where it could be adding value instead of sitting idle.
53% say billionaires are a threat to Democracy
53% support limits on wealth accumulation
71% support a billionaires tax
Your reminder that Republicans are currently gutting healthcare and food assistance to give more tax breaks to the billionaires buying elections for them.

The robber barons have been reincarnated...
"It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 members of the United States Senate over $1,000,000 a piece and we are robbing people of their food assistance and healthcare to pay for it. How is this even on the floor!?"

The greatest idea that will never happen...
My political hot take is that US voters should be able to recall elected representatives via petition - at any time.
No more hiding behind election terms.

Communicating why a 50 year mortgage costs more, overall, than a 30 year mortgage should not be a hard task.
The problem is the average American is both functionally illiterate and innumerate, as a deliberate result of decades of the policies made by the very people pushing for 50 year mortgages.

Trump is the stupidest person ever elevated to the office of the president, and the most deranged.
He campaigned on cutting the cost of living, but he has governed to raise it: regressive tariffs, immigration, fiddling with the Fed, cutting renewable energy, and firing the person whose job was to measure all of this.

When you can't afford your healthcare anymore, forward all your bills to the Democrats in the Senate who voted against you getting continued subsidies. Let's show them what they've done in real time. Bury them in examples of healthcare unaffordability.

Americans are wondering what they're suffering for when the party who promised to hold the line caved over something as insignificant as pressure from airlines instead of going to the mat for their constituents who are at risk of losing their healthcare and potentially, their lives. #Pathetic
The vote to reopen the government with no deal on health care is a brutal blow to all those who have stood together to save affordable health care for more than 20 million Americans.
I will vote ‘NO’ with every fiber of my being.

An agreement to agree to do a later vote is NOT an enforceable contract so what in the actual hell are Americans getting out of this deal??

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.
We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.
We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.
