It's common to hear that, if Dems are to win against the right, they need to shift their rhetoric regarding social policies towards the right. This is conventional wisdom for many. But I'll let you in on a little secret: There's actually quite a lot of data about whether this works, and it doesn't.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

It’s called taxing the rich, buddy.

Mystery solved: It’s not bronzer… it’s just a heavy sprinkle of spicy delusion. 🌮✨

Spare us the fake outrage.

I don’t know how many times we have to say this, but the U.S. government is not a business and shouldn’t be run like one. It’s a service—for the people.

⚠️ Right now, Congress is considering a draft of a budget reconciliation bill that would do real damage to our ocean, our economy and our climate. We need YOUR help to fight back. 🗣 ACT NOW: takeaction.oceanconservancy.org/page/171966/...

These ghouls need to be stopped.

Yes you did, Karen. You voted for ALL OF IT!

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

Ever since “Russia if you’re listening” corruption and criming out in the open is still corruption and criming

Maybe choosing someone who is one of your NY real estate investor pals with no diplomatic or military experience to be the special envoy to deal with Putin, who refuses to bring any help with him from the State Dept & uses Kremlin translators, wasn’t the best plan to end the war.

BREAKING: Trump waged war on the truth. Now the EU just invested $500M in keeping it alive. We support them stepping up. We support every scientist who chooses survival over loyalty to a country that spit on their work. This is what resistance looks like.

‼️‼️

💯 ✔️🙌

look, I may not agree with everything our president says, but I will defend to the death his right to be impeached, removed from office, arrested, stripped of his wealth, tried for his crimes and thrown straight the fuck into prison

Dinner with the conman/cult leader. Guests pay $1.7M. It OK because the liar said he was on his private time. Everything is so wrong with this. Presidents don’t have private time. It’s a 24/7/365 job. The dinner is at the White House. The food is cooked by W H staff. This is paid for by tax payer

“The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.” — Treaty of Tripoli, signed by the United States in 1797.

Listen closely: We all. Pay in. To Medicare. It is called an "entitlement" program because YOU ARE ENTITLED TO IT. You paid for it. You worked for it. You earned it. It is being stolen from you.

Under the bill passed by the House, those in the US earning LESS than $17,000 will LOSE $1,000 a year, the top 0.1 per cent of taxpayers will gain nearly $400,000 a year. How sick is that? And 8.6 million people will lose their Medicaid coverage. This is like a death sentence for many.

Harvard's Sidechat. Who agrees?

For my peeps on Medicaid or Medicare, to the families who need food assistance, to those who suffer this administration's blatant racism, and to the seniors hoping retirement will not lead to poverty and indignity... We know times are scary, but we have your backs and will fight to protect you.

Haven't heard anything recently about: Measles Outbreak TB Outbreak Covid numbers Bird Flu Spreading to Cattle I guess we're all good now. 😒

They all need to be locked up

It’s time to start referring to anti-vaxxers as pro-diseasers. Who agrees? ✋

Casten: The oil and gas sector don't like competition for the same reason you don't like D.E.I. Because mediocre folks are scared about a meritocracies.

The GOP held a hearing on their unfinished thousand-page bill at 1:00 AM. Now they’re getting ready to hold the final vote on the largest destruction of health care in American history in the dead of night.

Hayes: Every provision in this program is cruel and they know it. That's why none of them spoke on it in committee. That's why they have no response. That's why they don't hold town halls. That's why they don't answer questions. All they do is tweet, repeat, and hide in the back until they vote yes
