Newsom: In 2023, Californians contributed $83.1 billion more to the federal government than we received back. And for your viewers: that other state—Texas—took $71.1 billion more than it contributed to the federal government. California: $83 billion, contributor. Texas: taker.

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

Republicans can't govern. They come in, steal a bunch of money, and leave the wreckage for Democrats to fix. Then they whine that Democrats are not fixing things quickly enough. Over and over and over.

Musk claims Social Security is a “Ponzi scheme.” Yet Tesla only earned $409 million net earnings 1st quarter BUT received $595 million in “regulatory credits.”Workers pay Social Security every paycheck while Musk’s Tesla gets handouts from the government #TeslaTakedown electrek.co/2025/04/22/m...

Numerous studies, including the Abecedarian Project and the Perry Preschool Project, have shown that children who begin preschool at an early age experience significant benefits in cognitive, academic, and social development. Seems like a program you’d want funded. #MomSky

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

NEW: Senator Van Hollen has met with Abrego Garcia.

When Republicans inevitably blame mental health and not the guns for the Florida State shooting - kindly remind them that 205 of them voted AGAINST a bill to expand school-based mental health services.

El Salvador allowed Republican Rep. Riley Moore to tour CECOT yesterday—but denied access to Democrat Sen. Chris Van Hollen today. What could they possibly be hiding that only the GOP is willing to overlook?

Just so I am keeping everything straight…the government can’t tell you to wear a mask because FREEDOM!!!!, but it can decide you are a “terrorist” and send you to a foreign gulag without due process and throw away the key. That right?

Are those local police? If so, citizens need to talk to the mayor and police chief!

Musk’s DOGE involved in what appears to be a foreign espionage operation and data theft. They also have death threatened US federal whistleblowers and disabled security systems, deliberately allowing Russian IPs to access sensitive US federal government systems. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

Are you sitting down? 😳🤬 The US’s largest egg producer reported their profits have TRIPLED. T-R-I-P-L-E-D “…soaring profits as consumer prices hit record highs thanks to avian flu – and alleged price-fixing which is being investigated by the DOJ.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Chuck Grassley resorts to a flimsy excuse when his constituents ask why he isn’t doing his job and opposing Trump’s authoritarianism

Chuck Grassley tries to weasel his way out of the Abrego Garcia issue by saying: - that’s not in Congress’s hand - El Salvador is an independent country But his constituents are not having it. Republicans have abdicated their oversight responsibility.

Some things are worth repeating: Social Security is an EARNED benefit that WE, the American people, pay into. It should not be a political punching bag. Hands all the way off.

I miss this man every day! What's happening in our country under Trump is dangerous, criminal & authoritarian. I hope everyone in America realizes & regrets what we lost in abandoning, Joe Biden, the BEST PRESIDENT in my lifetime & tunes in to hear him speak. abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory...

Very good question!

🤑 Billionaires got $3.6 trillion richer after the first Trump tax scam. They're now worth a record $6.5 trillion. Yet, Trump and the GOP want to give more tax breaks to billionaires, and they want you to pay for it through higher grocery prices, higher student loan payments, and cuts to healthcare.

going to need to start hearing from governors what they intend to do to protect residents of their states from the federal government

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

I know complaining about Katy Perry in “space” is low hanging fruit and there are much worse things happening in the world, but there’s just something so peak… shallow and smarmy… bread and circuses… about it that typifies everything wrong with a system that serves only the shallow and the rich

If Jeff Bezos can send Katy Perry into space, he can pay a wealth tax so every American has debt-free healthcare.
