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

Quick reminder: Federal law prohibits marijuana possession in the United States. It’s not exactly legal even in states that allow it. I keep seeing people say that someone traveling to the US admitted using cannabis in a state where it’s allowed. I would not admit that to federal agents.

How many deaths are acceptable in order to give billionaires tax breaks? One? Twenty? Ten thousand? Zero? Experts say the Republican budget could lead to 51,000 deaths. The whole point of the bill is tax breaks for the wealthy—and they pay for them by cutting healthcare.

“Bove stated that D.O.J. would need to consider telling the courts ‘fuck you’ and ignore any such order.” This story is just a blockbuster in every way - exposing Bove & others to both contempt and a suite of bar ethics charges. Hope to add more as time permits, but the whistleblower a hero.
