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.
If only we could’ve had Bernie! I dream of that timeline. I don’t agree with all his positions but I agree with his heart.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoBernie Sanders: "People are sick and tired of the Democratic establishment and the Republican establishment ... the American people are tired of a rigged economy, a corrupt campaign finance system. They want real change. They don't want Rahm Emanuel and the establishment maintaining the status quo."
WTF? This is not getting anywhere enough attention. I’ve known about this for about a week. And just said something to my husband who pays close attention to the news too and it hasn’t shown up on his radar yet!
Michelle@michelleroy78.bsky.social · 2w agoI see 216 traitors (that voted for this "merger") who should be charged with sedition and treason.
I miss knowing there's an Anthony Fauci in charge of health. A Hillary Clinton or Antony Blinken handling things internationally. A Pete doing things for transportation. A Lloyd Austin handling defense. A Haaland protecting our lands. I miss knowing adults are in the room. Or at least non-traitors.
This is the way forward. It’s not as complicated as greedy republicans want to make it.
Charles Gaba ✡️@charlesgaba.com · 2w ago@jamellebouie.net I just watched your video on achieving universal coverage via expanding both Medicare & Medicaid while also adding a public option. This sounds very much like this proposal from @schakowsky.house.gov & @delauro.house.gov from a few years back: acasignups.net/24/12/17/rea...
@govandybeshear.bsky.social With heavy disappointment I agree with the assessment of this post on Governor Beshear. There is a severe lack of tough fighters in the Democratic Party. Neither the minority leader in the Senate nor the House has publicly called for Mitch to account. Humiliating.
Been saying AOC should run in 2028 since I saw her speak at the DNC in 2024. Every argument against it has echos of the arguments against Obama running in 2008.
Guardian US@us.theguardian.com · 2w ago"There are other capable progressives weighing a run in 2028," writes @sunraysunray.bsky.social. "However, none of them can do the two things AOC can do at once: run a serious national campaign as one of the most recognized figures in the country, and pull an entire movement into being behind it."

This should already be law in every state! Since states run elections it was, but today’s corrupt political courts need it spelled out in black and white.

For Mitch McConnell and Congress, health transparency is a choice, not a requirement — NPR
It's been nearly four weeks since Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., was hospitalized. It's not the first time this year that a member of Congress has been absent for weeks with scant details.

I wish the media had the same urgency about the state of Mitch McConnell as they did for Kamala's W-2 from McDonald's in the 80s.
GOP: If Democrats flip the house in the midterms, all they'll do is investigate Trump and his crimes and then hold him accountable… Don’t we want that America?! 🤚

If you’ve ever had an 8yo on summer break say “I’m bored” you basically understand everything you need to know about billionaires. They have a room full of toys, TV, outside, all the time in the world but can’t figure out how to entertain themselves. They have no plan…they just know they are bored.
Salem 🦇⚰️@batkingsalem.bsky.social · last mo.I’m so fucking confused about what the billionaires plan to do once we can’t afford anything anymore - they don’t spend their hoarded cash, so if we’re not buying companies’ products, who exactly will be?? Everyday consumers are the ones who keep the economy going, rich people are a cancer
Republicans have had control of Texas SINCE 1994 — and yet, all of their ads say “vote for us so we can fix everything that’s broken in Texas.” THEY’VE HAD 32 YEARS to “fix everything!”
Republicans control the Executive, the Senate, the House and the SCOTUS and yet Trump still bellows nonstop about rigged elections. Is he suggesting the GOP rigged all of these seats?
Yes, he would be my choice if I needed protection. Right after Wylie coyote.🤭

That should be the least of his concerns Wait till we seize all his assets to reimburse the country for all that he & his scummy sycophants have looted If history repeats itself, his name will be eradicated from our society much like all things associated with Hitler was
Not only are you not alone if you believe things don't have to be this way. In fact you are part of a powerful American majority, one with the power to decide our future.
We do care and they know it! That is why they are trying to prevent us from voting moving forward. It is why some of the smarter ones like Thiel have already moved their families to Argentina. They WILL all go to jail and pay every last cent back with penalties so this never happens again.
