Got to say I LOVE the Trump Administration negotiating to get Rare Minerals from Ukraine, for 2 reasons: 1. It reduces our dependence on China for Lithium and Graphite (China provides near 70% of world supply) 2. More than 50% of those minerals are in Russian Annexed land.

Trump and Musk are a living monument to the worst excesses of human nature—an exhausting blend of arrogance, ignorance, greed, selfishness, narcissism, and the kind of misplaced confidence that has already fueled a thousand horrible decisions that will ultimately hurt millions of everyday Americans.

Firing 7000 IRS agents will make it even easier for the rich to get away with skirting what they owe. But it's also a gift to the multi-billion dollar tax prep industry. Fewer IRS agents to help you file your taxes means more money in the pockets of companies like TurboTax.

MAGA voters think their taxes will go down after Musk guts our government. But it’s a dirty con. Elected Republicans plan to use the savings for MASSIVE tax cuts for corporations & wealthy elites. Regular Americans will pay the same taxes, but get a LOT fewer government services for their money.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social: It’s 4am—still debating the Republicans’ billionaire tax giveaway. We offered an amendment to say no tax cut for those making over $10m. Every Republican voted no. So we tried $100m. Every Repub voted no. So we tried $500m! Every Republican a no. See what’s going on?

Woke or biology? There are actually more than the basic “male” XY & “female” XX sexes. Why? Because biology also creates people with single X chromosomes, or extra chromosomes like XXX, XXY, XYY, or XXX+, plus many 🧬genes. 👉All I’m asking is— please be kind to others. Thanks🙏
