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?

Raskin: If they can just sweep someone off the street, put them on an airplane, and send them to a torturer’s prison in an authoritarian state like El Salvador without due process… then they could do it to anybody.

In the early 2010s, I learned that Jim Jones forced people to drink the koolaid at gunpoint - not with charisma, not with group think. I stopped using the Koolaid phrase and substituted the ant death spiral. I like it better because once you notice you’re in one, it’s pretty easy to escape.

America has never been more divided in my lifetime. I’m for the side that believes in the rule of law, science, reproductive rights, free & fair elections, secure war plans, not tanking the economy or illegally deporting American citizens. I can’t believe there’s a side that doesn’t.

The top five egg producers own roughly half of all U.S. laying hens. The biggest of those corporations is Cal-Maine, which just announced quarterly profits of $509 million — more than 3x what it made a year ago. Corporate concentration + bird flu = a price-hiking free for all.

Some experts — as well as critics of the president and social media users — are raising questions about a statement Trump posted earlier in the day that may have indicated the massive sell-off in stocks seen in recent days was coming to an end.

It's wrong to send Americans to an overseas megaprison. It's wrong to send non-Americans to an oversea megaprison. It's wrong whether they committed a crime or not. It's wrong whether they have been sentenced for a crime or not. Cruel and unusual punishment is wrong. Concentration camps are wrong.

Republicans used to say “undocumented immigrants don’t pay taxes.” Now the IRS is handing their tax data to DHS… So which is it? Seems like you’d have to pay taxes to even have tax data…

Definitely time to get or boost your vaccinations. Herd immunity is at risk for more than just measles. And HHS policies could affect availability. Stay safe out there.

For the #HandsOff , there were a group of seniors that couldn't make it to the Capitol. So they held their very own! 57 of them came out! Aged 67-104! They all walked down to the main street! So proud of them! They had s sign making day before the event! They sent this video to me to share.🥰

I'm not a lawyer, but it seems like SCOTUS just said the government is allowed to disappear anyone it wants from the street and throw them into a Central American torture pit as long as they give the victims a chance to say "wait, what" before the most conservative district court in the system?

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.
