Unemployment up. Stock market down. Mortgage rates up. Consumer confidence at worst levels since the Great Depression. Are we great again yet?

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?

Yes, the cashier at Target should be able to afford rent, groceries, and bills with their paycheck alone. That’s what jobs are for.

Who on earth is going to look for a job in the federal government after this constant purging of long term, highly skilled federal employees? It used to mean a secure job albeit with a slightly lower salary. Now it means no security regardless of performance. What’s the point?

Just left a few friendly voicemails for my state representatives via the @5calls.org app. Stopped just short of asking them to take their balls back; settled for “I’m asking you to do your job… to do what’s right for Idaho’s economy.” Gee, I wonder what their response will be. 🦗🦗🦗

This is why it’s important that we highlight what these immigration policies actually entail and how they are effecting people. “Trump = Boarder Strong” falls apart once people see and hear the actual details.

The orange felon just signed an executive order that aims to overhaul U.S. election law by setting new state laws to replace existing laws and all who don’t comply will face losing funding. Fuck you to ever chose this fascism. I’ll never regret voting for VP Kamala Harris.

BREAKING: @justinbrannan.bsky.social, the NYC Finance Chair and leading candidate for NYC Comptroller, is calling for COMPLETE divestment of NYC’s $1.2 billion pension investment in Tesla. If Brannan wins the NYC Comptroller race, Tesla would lose another $1.2 BILLION.

The first rule of Trumpism is to never apologize or admit wrongdoing. That’s why he’s not firing anyone or even entertaining the idea anybody around him did something wrong.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

Post by @acnewsitics.bsky.social on another platform: “If you think ‘transgenic mice’ means they transitioned, you probably also think ‘Buffalo wings’ come from actual buffalo. Transgenic means a gene was added for scientific research. It has nothing to do with gender. MAGAs are fucking idiots.”

The federal minimum wage is still $7.25/hour. Think about what eggs cost. Think about what parking at a parking garage costs. Now how can you think that $7.25 is an adequate wage for an hour of someone’s labor. It’s not.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

The tribalism in politics has got to go. The idea that everything that a leader from “your party” is correct is destructive and not good for the American people. These are public servants who should be under the public eye and are not above criticism.

Democrats are being weak. Just like they were weak on not passing Build Back Better. Just like they were weak on not codifying Roe when they had the majority. It’s time for new party leadership at the federal level.

The ultra-wealthy want to cut government programs that working class people use to privatize these services so they can make a profit off us. They see the taxpayer as a potential source of revenue so they can line their pockets.
