If we can afford to give another $664 billion in tax breaks to the top 1% and spend over $1 trillion on the Pentagon, we can afford health care for the working people of this country.

Most of our economic indicators come from the Federal Government, which is now full of mendacious sycophants. Trump told his Administration to lie with these statistics. Out-of-work Americans with hungry children will think unemployment at record lows and no inflation.

I am really astounded at how calm everyone is about the GOP putting a 500 billion dollar cut for Medicare in the new tax bill.

What ABC News did not mention tonight: 1) The increase in deficit from the Republican Big ..Bill will trigger a >400 billion dollar cut in Medicare ( by statute). ref: CBO 2) There are starving children in Gaza that the Trump administration is choosing to ignore, and let die.

...Here was the turducken of Tesla’s information control strategy: NDAs for customers, smears against critical reporters, a vicious pack of online enforcers, and a total disregard for facts holding it all together...

This is at least the third time this week that top Trump officials have launched personal attacks on Senators while testifying (after RFK Jr. attacking Murray and Rubio attacking Van Hollen). This is very unusual and likely a deliberate strategy rather than individuals just losing their cool.

GOP tax bill on track to add more than $2.5 trillion to U.S. deficit. And, they are cutting Medicaid and food stamps, even with this huge increase in federal deficit, all to pay for a tax break for the wealthy.

The largest retailer in America just announced they're raising prices this month due to Trump's nonsensical tariff war. Great work, Trump.

Be more like Marc Elias. He exemplifies what it means to be a “fighter.” It’s that attitude of acknowledging the fear, flipping the source of it bird, and then walking toward it, 100% invested in victory. There are only a handful of people in politics right now that inspire me. Marc is #1

THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS. Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!” Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.

I think we could use a simple boycott with a quid-pro-quo. i.e. boycott Amazon and Apple until they agree to show and list the cost of tariffs in all invoices and payment data as a separate line item. It will have a clear start ( June 1, 2025) and a clear end.

The 'Red Scare' of 1920 (Sacco & Vanzetti), redux Joe McCarthy 1950s ('are you know..'), once again in Vietnam 1960s and 1970s, comes around again because it never fails to scare the 40% of low information Americans.

Unless companies clearly show how Trump’s tariffs are affecting prices, consumers have every reason to suspect price gouging.

Rep Eric Swalwell walked out in shock—and who could blame him? Every single GOP member on the House Judiciary Committee just voted to let Trump “deport” American citizens. This is illegal, authoritarian, and unforgivable 🤬 Time to call, write, & protest before the full House votes.

While it is understandable to focus attention on Trump’s attacks on democracy and the rule of law, we must not lose sight of the fact that it is the Republican Congress enabling his authoritarianism. Ignoring their complicity in Trump’s actions is a mistake—both legally and strategically.

Despite knowing the people on the search warrant weren't there, the ICE arrest team STILL took this family's phones, laptops, and life savings — and refused to leave a BUSINESS CARD so they could ask to get it back! This stuff is sadly not unique to ICE; it happens with regular police raids too.
