It fascinates me that giving to charity is considered ‘noble and praiseworthy’… But, creating an economic system that works for EVERYONE and doesn't require charity, is considered socialist and evil. Mind-boggling. 😎✨

We got a Costco membership for the first time in our lives today. They asked why & I said because treat your workers well, you value diversity, & you didn’t cave in to authoritarian demands. He said: “We’ve been getting lots of folks saying that, thanks for joining.” Who needs a gallon of ketchup?

The IRS Free File pilot program helped 140K taxpayers save $5.6M in tax filing costs in 2024. Despite recent claims, the program is still running and is now available to 30M people in 2025. Any attempt to dismantle it will enrich the tax prep industry at your expense.

Every member of Congress—myself included—was elected to write our nation's laws. Why on earth would we confirm Russ Vought to uphold those laws after he has made perfectly clear he has no intention of following them?

As I used to tell my ex and so many others during Shit Show I, the walking that WH staff really should be doing is walking Trump into the psych ward at Walter Reed!

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.
