Jeff Bezos is worth $230 billion and is reportedly spending $20 million on a three-day wedding in Venice while sailing around on his $500 million yacht. If he can afford to do that, he can afford a wealth tax and to pay Amazon workers a living wage. Hello?

Like so many elections around the country, today is about organized money vs. organized people. I believe people will win.

No money for Medicaid or SNAP or museums or schools or sidewalks or gun violence prevention or art or libraries. Always money for war.

Hey @nytimes.com, rather than “ideological flexibility” you clearly actually mean “hypocrisy.” Why won’t you use plain language that is accurate and easily defensible? Are you that scared?

With Tish James as our Attorney General, New Yorkers have a champion for the rule of law, a fighter who stands up for working people over greedy corporations, and a leader who has taken on Donald Trump and Andrew Cuomo—and won. I am so proud to have her support.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, America's poorest families lose about $1600 per year. The richest households gain about $12,000 per year. It's Reverse Robin Hood. (Via CBO)

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Healthcare for seniors is not waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is not waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon is waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens is waste, fraud, and abuse.

These militarist ICE raids are the actual government oppression that right wingers dreamed was happening during Covid. They are not up in arms like they were about masking, go figure.

the funniest thing about the “ice agents are human beings with families” line is that there is no evidence to support the claim. oh they’re real people? what are their names? as far as I’m concerned they’re the T-1000 until proven otherwise

Deploying the military on U.S. soil as law enforcement against Americans was on page 555 of Project 2025. So don’t say “I didn’t vote for this,” because you did. This isn’t a response. This was always their plan.

I think the acronym for the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) should be pronounced "Oh Bubba!" because that's what rural voters are going to say when they realize their healthcare and government services are cut and they're paying for billionaire tax cuts.

Republicans have a new talking point for gutting Medicaid and SNAP to give billionaires even more tax cuts: “We are all going to die.” If your senator is a GOP ghoul like Joni Ernst, they need to hear from the constituents they’re betraying with Trump’s Tax Scam: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

this is going to get me in trouble, but if you see the dozen donuts in the office kitchen and you're the type of person who cuts one in half because you won't commit to an entire donut I DON'T TRUST YOU. I mean, come on, just eat the whole donut. I've already eaten 3 today.

I may not have read the books, but i have magically reviewed both Tapper and Comey’s new tell-alls- They are both hugely self-involved pricks who didn’t do the right things when it mattered, but now think we should be grateful that they were there at the time. Saved you a read.

Apparently Trump’s 4th threat in 3 months to impose additional sanctions on Russia if they don’t agree to a ceasefire is now off because Putin doesn’t want to do that. 4 threats, 4 Putin rejections, 4 Trump does nothing.
