4/ Now follow the money. Donor advised funds let a billionaire give millions anonymously and write it off their taxes the same day. Those same donors are far likelier to fund pro business groups than to support the rest of us. inequality.org/article/dono...
Donor-Advised Funds: A Power Tool for Political Engagement - Inequality.org
Donors disproportionately use donor-advised funds to support politically engaged charities. Anonymity is often a big reason why.

I’m one of the 20 million Americans Republicans threw under the bus. My family’s health insurance went from $1,700/month to over $3,000/month. REPUBLICANS DID THIS‼️ #RepublicanMedicareCuts
According to journalist Christopher Armitage, Pam Bondi sold “as much as $5.5 million” worth of Trump media securities, and as of August, 14 months after the incident, no case has been opened against Bondi on suspicion of insider trading. www.rawstory.com/pam-bondi-26...

Republicans won’t stop a corrupt tyrant from unnecessarily shaking down American taxpayers, but they *will* stop women from getting necessary healthcare. What amoral jackholes.
WATCH — Sen. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social on Trump’s insider trading: “If you pay Trump $100,000 a month, he will give you early access to White House announcements on economic and trade policy. None of this is normal, and a lot of this is illegal.”
At least we understand that they owe us a refund. You did well Rio & thank you!
Rio Tazewell@riotazewell.bsky.social · 23h agoDid you see how Apple, Amazon Walmart and other big companies are refunding the billions of dollars they got back from the federal tariff settlement to their customers, who ultimately bore the cost of higher prices? Yea, me neither.

WE NEED 4 SEATS TO FLIP THE SENATE. JOSH TUREK SHOULD BE ONE OF THEM. I was researching Josh and came across one of his signature issues: Right to Repair. I had no idea how important this was. Most people in big cities probably don’t either. 🧵
The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

I cannot find words. This is ONE of many horrible events happening to people right here ....to say nothing of the other horrors we are inflicting elsewhere. They do everything in our name, on our dime. Start w voting out the magagop responsible for all this. #iceOut #v4v #dv2 #usDemocracy
Al Jazeera: Iran has released satellite imagery showing that they have destroyed 3 F-35s and damaged 3 more. They have said that several US service members were killed in the attack, including officers. We are claiming that none of their missiles got through.
It's all about priorities. The tech bros gave politicians a lot of money.
Corporate spending on elections has already topped $500 million this year. That's one third of the $1.58 billion in total that corporations have spent since Citizens United in 2010. Hawaii and Montana both have plans to neutralize this disastrous SCOTUS ruling. Other states must get on board.
Daily reminder that we don’t have a president. We have a mob boss masquerading as one.
The shooter at the In-N-Out Burger in Twin Falls, Idaho that killed 3 people and injured 2 people is a Republican, white male. Shocked.
THIS SHOULD TERRIFY EVERYONE. AI models from two of the world’s biggest AI companies broke out of controlled tests and attempted to hack real-world systems. Regulation isn’t optional anymore. If lawmakers don’t get serious about AI regulation, we’re living on borrowed time.
Now this is the kind of trash talk we can get behind. We’re containerizing neighborhoods by taking trash off our sidewalks and allowing mid-size buildings to trade in their wheelie bins for a bigger, better, cleaner alternative: Empire Bins. It’s time to put a lid on it, New York.
