Unless you wear a red hat.

Households in the top 5%, with incomes over $320,000, would receive roughly HALF of the benefits of extending Trump's expiring tax cuts. How are Republicans planning to pay for this? With massive cuts to programs that the rest of America relies on. Trickle up economics.

Five years after COVID-19 was officially declared a pandemic, Donald Trump's botched response remains one of the worst moments our nation experienced during his first term in office.  Here are other moments you've probably forgotten. https://youtu.be/gdstZDCCgAc?si=_RiziFsySPY9mjx7

Budapest today. People are demanding that PM Orban resign.

These are the senators who collaborated with the GOP. Schumer Fetterman Cortez Masto Durbin King Shaheen Gillibrand Schatz Hassan Peters Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.

When AOC and Adam Kinzinger are both furious at Chuck Schumer, for the exact same reason, maybe you need to give up the idea this is just a backlash coming from far left activists.

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer. "Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.

Indeed.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

I will not vote to weaken my power to fight for WA state. I will not vote to turn YOUR taxpayer dollars into Trump & Elon's personal slush funds. I will vote NO. We should pass my short term CR, avoid a shutdown, and do our jobs.

This is allyship. Thank you, Rep. William Keating for demonstrating how to be a true ally by leveraging privilege appropriately.

Always good when the authoritarian leader decrees who is and is not Jewish.

Supreme Court rules 6-3 that Teslas are priced to move with $0 down and no payments for 48 months

Too bad Uvalde Elementary didn’t sell Teslas.

Not so fast, Democrats. Yes, Trump's tariffs and mass layoffs are wrecking the economy. But he got these ideas over the prior two years. When Biden was president.

The 100 lowest-paying major US corporations spent $522B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2023.   Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay. The typical worker at these companies earned just $34k.  Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $14.7M. See the problem?

TOGETHER

It’s borderline criminal.

To sum it up, the worst of us won. We are confronted every day by their never ending villainous behavior.

"NO KINGS LIVE HERE"

There are now two confirmed deaths in a measles outbreak that has spread from West Texas across the border into New Mexico. And infectious disease doctors are concerned RFK Jr's response is missing the mark.

Democrats should boycott the State of the Union. Democrats keep calling this man a unique and dangerous threat, but never ACT like it. For once, Democrats' *actions* should match their words. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

If for some reason last night's desperately unfunny SNL left you thinking "Hey, Shane Gillis isn't so bad," here is some context about the jokes he tells in the safe (for racism, transphobia, Holocaust denial, etc.) space of his paywalled podcast, from the first time Lorne let him host the show.

Guerilla advertising seen in the London Metro

You might not see it in the mainstream media, but over 10,000 people protested today at Tesla showrooms across the country, another 10,000+ rallied in support of national parks, and more than 1,000 gathered in Vermont to protest Vance’s visit.

This says it all.

He didn't wear a suit, but he received a pardon and was treated better than Zelenskyy was.

Dear Democratic Party: why are you not screaming this from every rooftop? Why are you not holding press conferences with these poor fired people - putting a face on what the richest man is destroying?
