Under the Republican "Big, Ugly Bill," high-income individuals are expected to gain approximately $12,000 per year, whereas working-class Americans may face an additional annual burden of $1,600. This administration is the reverse Robin Hood, taking from the poor to give to the rich.

This is not about "left" vs "right" anymore — and it hasn't been for a long time. The oligarchy feels safer if people split along the old “left” vs.“right” battle lines, so they won’t notice they’re being shafted and won't join together to fight back.

The moral squalor of Trump has brought us back to the basics — especially understanding the importance of checks and balances and separation of powers. Both the Republican-controlled Congress and conservative Supreme Court Seem hellbent on abdicating their duties to a tyrant.

The American people end up paying the price for the corrupt lawmakers who are more focused on serving corporate special interests, lobbyists, and their stock portfolios than their constituents. @slotkin.senate.gov is 100% correct. It’s time to gut Big Money out of politics.

The Supreme Court's disastrous Dobbs decision marked a dark day in American history - the first time a constitutional right has been REVOKED, and it was aimed squarely at WOMEN. Three years later, the consequences are dire.

I’m not completely confident the elected GOP will rise up to this challenge of saying no to their great leader and cast a vote for the American people…us pesky peasants—you know, the working folks of America, the people sent them there for representation.

Federal and local law enforcement wearing masks is just plain unamerican. It’s a cowards move, and shows the fact that the kinds of deportations happening and the methods are, shameful and unpopular. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

WATCH: Marine vet Alejandro Barranco joins Chris Hayes after the violent beating and detainment of his immigrant father by masked agents. "My heart's broken. I love my country. I love my dad. I love my family, I love the community. It's hard. I do feel betrayed at times."

We are a proud member of the National Coalition for Public Education. The big budget bill would divert billions of tax dollars for public education into private hands. Equal access to quality education for all is a cornerstone of a democratic society. Tax dollar grabs are not. @lwvus.bsky.social

Jeff Bezos is worth $230 billion and is reportedly spending $20 million on a three-day wedding in Venice while sailing around on his $500 million yacht. If he can afford to do that, he can afford a wealth tax and to pay Amazon workers a living wage. Hello?

Stephen Miller, one of Trump’s immigration advisors, has between $100,001 and $250,000 invested in Palantir—a contractor providing data services for ICE. The conflict of interest couldn’t be more obvious as Miller stands to directly profit from the policies he’s shaping.

House Republicans want to slash funding for the Government Accountability Office — a nonpartisan watchdog that investigates wrongdoing at federal agencies — by nearly half in the next fiscal year. So much for reining in waste, fraud, and abuse.

Last year, Kroger's CEO raked in $15.4 million — 457x more than its typical employee. Kroger also announced $7.5 billion in stock buybacks. I don't want to hear that Kroger can't afford to treat its employees fairly. Solidarity to these workers.

Podcaster & frequent Rogan guest Dave Smith on Trump’s Iran policy: “I supported him & apologize for doing so. He should be impeached & removed. His supporters should turn on him. It’s an absolute betrayal of everything he ran & campaigned on. He’ll lose his coalition on this.”

Our brains love the colour gradation in rainbows, maybe due to our ancestors searching for sources of water. Looking at plants helps us recover from stress & looking at something we think is beautiful causes dopamine release. I've posted this photo to alter your brain biochemistry for the better 🌿

"Even if it went to the point of setting a car on fire, that's not a domestic insurrection. That's a protest that is engaged in some illegality. And we have civil means to punish it without the armed forces.”

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

A civil society doesn't allow the strong to brutalize the weak. It moves as far as possible away from brutality. It's the exact opposite of what Trump seeks. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-dictators-revenge
