The White House just posted some wild propaganda about the overtime tax proposal in the form of... a diet coke ad. 💰🤑 They want workers to think they're not getting taxed on overtime and are taking home bigger paychecks, but here's why that's incredibly misleading.

I just pulled out my copy of Newton's Principia, a book that was originally written in Latin, and noticed that the translation I am using was completed with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities, which has basically been destroyed Science depends on the humanities 🧪

The ICE agent who has been leading their effort in court to detain immigrants saw me in the hallway after their brawl with protesters today & said, “Someday you & I are going to run into each other outside of here—and I’m going to remind you of this.” This is him. In court he doesn’t hide his face.
