Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

Why did Congressional Republicans jam through an unpopular budget with the largest Medicaid cuts in history? It could be because nearly 70% of them would financially benefit from the bill's extension of Trump's tax cuts for the rich. Reverse Robin Hood.

“It’s the largest redistribution from poor to rich in a single bill in American history.” It's a play in three regressive parts: 1. Tax cuts for the rich. 2. Spending cuts on the poor. 3. Tariffs that hit low-income folks hardest.

If you’re an American should watch the Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown ep on Iran. A deeply humanizing look at a country full of people just like you and me. I watched it after Anthony died and it moved in ways that are hard to relay. I also immediately ran out to try kabob koobideh and tahdig.

Don't take your eye off the ball! Trump's illegal Iran bombing isn't (just) about that country It's also an effort to extend his autocratic ambitions here at home Fortunately there are things we can do about that as I explain @contrariannews.org contrarian.substack.com/p/trumps-nat...

This is sick! Have you seen ICE’s TikTok page? Propaganda on steroids, targeting young dudes chasing a sense of power. Edited like war games, built to thrill while dehumanizing immigrants. RECRUITMENT VIDEOS—for state-sponsored vigilantism.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Instead of high-profile battles waged in key states, we’ve seen a handful of mostly smaller red states — many of which already weren’t making things easy for voters — pass laws imposing new restrictions, and largely escaping serious media scrutiny. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/red...

You have to fundamentally realise what is really going on in America. Democracy doesn’t work for the wealthy. They want to rule. Democracy doesn’t allow that. So destroy democracy by controlling what people see and hear. Particularly effective for non critical thinkers.

The Republican budget bill includes new tax breaks to private equity firms who take over smaller businesses, load them with debt, close factories, and fire workers. Yet another Wall Street giveaway by the "party of the working class."

Mystal: It all goes back to Dobbs. It tells everyone on that side that they’re open for business to take away, to smash, every civil right they don’t like. We’re living in the post-Dobbs era.. it’s going to take some time before the country has a moment of clarity about what’s really happened here.
