If you took the $1.1 trillion earned by just 100 billionaires last year and mailed every household a check, it'd be $8,700 each. The thing is most billionaires don't actually pay taxes anymore. What the GOP bill is really doing is selling off public lands and cutting Medicare to pay off oligarchs.

Dem leadership advising against using the phrase "MAGA murder budget" is one of the strongest possible endorsements that the phrase could get. These fools have consistently been TERRIBLE at messaging

Despite making some hard choices to cancel several other subscriptions (and if you’re in the same boat, trust me, I get it), I joined as a paid member to Strength in Numbers. If you, like me, believe in a fact-based and statistically-literate politics, this is the Substack worth paying for

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?

Trump is one of the worst negotiators in foreign policy history (as his deal with the Houthis shows). When it comes to Putin, he has already given away the farm, so that Putin’s negotiating floor now is higher than the ceiling would have been with Biden. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

AOC: Tom Homan said he was going to refer me to DOJ because I’m using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections… to that I say: Come for me… Do I look like I care? There’s nothing illegal about it and if they want to make it illegal, they can come take me.

Important to remember that these negotiations aren’t real: Trump has no comprehensible objectives and 0 trustworthiness. Countries are deciding whether to give him a fake “win” in some memorandum, or just waiting for him to fold.

Looking forward to the Fox News goons taking that 2-year old down a few pegs. “That infant is no angel, despite what the libs want you to believe. Did you know she cried a lot? I heard she’s not even potty trained. Disgusting.”
