Wearing masks.
Its a bunch of liberals.
Media tries to imply it's conservatives
As always..doesnt take long to debunk legacy media anymore
Everyone is screaming about their lies and damage and maga arrogance toward voters.
This is just the beginning.
If they think they’re safe, they are comically mistaken…
The us payroll is ~$283 million, depending on who you ask.
Here’s an article that explains how our modern monetary system works:

Republicans tried to outlaw MMT policies in 2020, as some were beginning to be applied during pandemic.

It’s a sovereign, fiat currency that is not pegged to another currency or commodity.
Former Fed chiefs Greenspan & Bernanke have stated, Fed gov’t cannot run out of money.
If deficits really mattered & the Fed had to “find the money to pay for__” they could easily tax the rich, stop the trillions corps send to overseas tax havens.
Congress is paid off by oligarchs
We need an Econ lesson. Fed Gov’t is not like a household; it creates money when it spends into the economy.
Fed Deficit is our surplus.
Limit: do we have enough productive capacity?
Next January, after 5 years in office (less than 3 terms), he'll vest in the federal PENSION. He has NO incentive to work for his constituents. He will have income until he draws his last breath and our taxes back the fund
Vote his butt out.
I want people to understand that, even if it's pennies, the grift of pennies is still a grift.
People who are there for decades have contributed a lot of money into retirement, so they get way more.
Firing thousands of contributing employees won't help the revenue stream. And taxpayers backstop unfunded liabilities. It isn't much until it is.
I DO resent having to be the guarantor of pensions for elected officials who actively undermine the financial well being of the citizens of this country.
We could save $40 million (our tax money) if we cut off DOGE
We know what we voted for, and it wasn't this.
#FireGOP who’s allowed #DonaldTrump & #ElonMusk 2 dismantle programs 2 give billionaires #TaxBreaks.
Obernolte decried TrillionDollarDeficit gov’t has when deficit was caused by Trumps 1st Billion dollar #TaxBreak.
Remember Trump said it would stimulate economy? #TrumpTaxScam
Supports deficit reduction, but they're about to explode it! Just to give donors who don't even really need the money, more money...
Honey and lemon tea
Any idea why this story isn’t garnering national media attention?

TAX THE BILLIONAIRES! is a battlecry that works!
Musk and these Republicans have failed to remember that we PAID into Social Security and Medicare all of our working years before retirement.
And now we sit on pins and needles wondering if our checks will come in.
The "Right" are coming to power in the States, South America, Europe.
The people are sick of the propaganda & lies peddled by the Left.
Oh really? Politicians need to start feeling the heat from the other side as well.
It's time for integrity—your move. Resign in protest or lose all credibility.
Our free press is at stake. This is your moment.
Three other shows by minority hosts have been cut since Reid/Alex. Now 5 in the last 24 hours. Morning Joe and Steph Ruhl have worse ratings but play by the rules. This isn't just television. It's purging those who anger Trump.
But what about you, Black folks? The orange turd and his nazi party are blatantly, in your faces, telling you to fuck off, n*****.
No reaction? MLK would be ashamed of you. You threw his legacy in the toilet.
Why do Joe and Mika still have a job????
I think it’s horrible and you should stand up for her!!!
I need to see the full announcement. I suspect I will be disappointed again by the network that thinks it has to change every 15 months or so “just because."
Yucca Valley
What about the other journalists? Alex Wagner, Hasan? Why is Lester Holt leaving NBC? Just a coincidence?
Please consider donating to help Dr. Borrenpohl retain legal counsel and ensure that this injustice is properly addressed.
....pjjb
There were no paid protesters.
Bonus fact: "Protesters" are being hired through a company called “Crowds on Demand.”

For this performance, you all fail.
WSJ reported of 65 agencies reviewed, they were all operating within 95% of plan.
How much food do you throw away? Energy do you waste?
Every one of them was and is a traitor.
We don't do ugliness over here!
The presence of the law for Obernoltes security is telling. He knows his constituents are outraged.
