We are projected to spend $268 BILLION on deportations — costing the average American taxpayer about $2,358 (according to @epi.org). But somehow we “can’t afford” to make sure hungry children can eat or ensure everyone, no matter their income, can access healthcare. Priorities.
Hillary doesn't mince words: “The next president will have to make a serious decision. What do you do with a half-finished ballroom?” “It would be nice if I could take on the role of ‘Secretary of Gold Removal’ after Trump leaves the White House.” It IS our House, and he IS destroying it !
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.
For the enlightenment of the 💩🤡s going after Fauci:
Epstein files aren't worth seeing or discussing, but Fauci's personal diary...? THERE's our new distraction. I'd listen to this remarkable woman.
On the next episode of UnJustified… “New York’s hottest club is The DoJ. It’s got everything: reflecting pools, grand jury transcripts, sanctions, bar referrals, dismissed charges, seashells, and foot-longs. Hit the dance floor with promoter Jeanine Pirro and lose your presumption of regularity.”

The 6 largest oil companies will collectively rake in $45B in profits in the second quarter of 2026 — nearly double what they made in the first quarter. Meanwhile, Canada, France, and Spain are battling record-breaking wildfires spurred by the climate crisis. Big Oil profits while the world burns.
Last year, Vance Boelter shot and killed a Democratic state rep and her husband. He was sentenced this week to consecutive life sentences. Maybe now’s a good time for some accountability for the Republicans who peddled disgusting conspiracy theories about the slayings?

Epstein survivor Dani Bensky: You can’t say that you want to make sure sex offenders and sex traffickers are behind bars and then vote for him. Every vote for Blanche is really a vote against survivors. If Thom Tillis wants to call, I’m happy to talk to him. We’ve been trying to get in touch
I follow an account (Jay Waters @jaywaters.bsky.social) that posts the very same message every day. And every day I "like" it. 👍 #TheTruthMatters
Jay Waters@jaywaters.bsky.social · 2mo agoThe President of the United States is a liar.
Trump is selling early peeks at his own posts for $100,000 a month, & his buddies use it to make millions in the stock market before regular people even see the news. That’s the Mar-a-Lago Mafia in action. Your rent went up. Their bank account went up faster. #RepublicanCostOfCorruption
This war has cost us nearly 110 billion dollars in spending and higher gas prices. That’s six years of school lunches gone. Instead we got pricier gas and 18 dead service members. Corrupt Republicans had a choice & chose war over your kid’s lunch tray. #RepublicanCostOfCorruption
Remember the SNAP cuts in the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill?” Children account for nearly half of the 2.4 million people who are no longer receiving SNAP in at least 19 states. The true number of kids impacted nationwide is unknown. This is horrifying. No child should go hungry.
Katie Bergh@katiebergh.bsky.social · 2mo ago🚨NEW: In the 9 months after last year’s reconciliation law enacted unprecedented SNAP cuts, the number of people receiving SNAP fell by more than 4.5 million. Based on available data, we estimate that at least 1.5 million fewer kids are receiving SNAP. www.cbpp.org/research/foo...
Note to self: savour the process, don’t endgame. The end is always the same - six feet underground. It’s how you get there that matters.
Jared Kushner wants Albania's protected wetlands. The government obliged. Protesters said no. 29 days later, they're still saying no — with flamingo cutouts and flags, in the streets, every single night. Europe is watching. Is anyone else?

Reminder that the Trump regime is still blowing up suspected “drug boats” — killing 197 people since September. But no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're taking Trump's word for it. This is murder. We must not lose sight of this lawlessness.
Thank you, Rep. Goldman, for shining a light and keeping the pressure on. We must not give up on the people being held inside.
Thousands are marching in Selma calling for a full restoration of the voting rights act.

How is it better for regular folks exactly?
Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · 5mo agoLindsey Graham says they are going introduce legislation that’s going to authorize 400 million dollars to be spent on building the ballroom: We pay for it by offsetting it with customs fees. The sooner we get the ballroom built, the better it is for the country.
