Tax billionaire wealth. I frankly don't care if a billionaire can make a second billion. I'd rather have the average person be able to make their first $100k.

3 years since Oct. 7. Count me among those who were appalled by the atrocity and appalled knowing atrocity would follow. Made things worse for just about everyone, except a few awful people who exploited it, and has left so many innocent people dead or suffering. I wish none of this had happened.
In one month from now Trump will be openly seeking to overturn the Nov 3 results. We all know that is coming. That is why Democratic AGs should announce now that if anyone tries to interfere in their election--including Trump-they will prosecute under state law. Trump can't pardon state crimes!
IF or WHEN the dems have the majority in both Houses We the People have to be up in their shit, on their asses, screaming at them like they owe us money Remember, Trump was a one term POTUS...and now we're back in the shit. Because nothing changed, nothing really got DONE. Accountability.
I voted for Biden, but he was not my first choice, he probably wasn't even my 10th choice given the list of actual choices I shut up and voted. However, the thing I am most disappointed at was, "we want unity" There is no unity without accountability.
If you have $100 million to spend on ads saying you shouldn’t be taxed you’re not being taxed enough Google cofounder Sergey Brin has spent $102 million to fight California’s proposed billionaire tax—he could owe $13 billion if he loses fortune.com/article/how-...

The state’s ultrawealthy, including Larry Page and Peter Thiel, have similarly donated to efforts opposing the wealth tax.

If the goal was to inform the American people on actions & impact of President on US, they could do a much better job if they did not prioritize his steady stream of lies & hate. Ending access to White House would be the best thing that ever happened to journalism of covering the presidency.
If the WH banned my outlet the next thing I’m doing is a series on Trump & Epstein.
The first thing a Dem Congress does is pass a resolution saying the President is not immune from any prosecution, and remove it from SC jurisdiction.
TALARICO: “The richest 1% now owns more wealth than the entire middle class. 3 dudes (Musk, Zuckerberg, Bezos) now own more wealth than 165 million Americans combined… they aren’t just buying yachts and jets anymore. They’re now buying power.” 🇺🇸 (From @teamtalaricohq.bsky.social )
Canada is a sovereign country, but in practical terms it is more important/integral to the U.S. economy than at least a few U.S. states. Once again the “nationalists” know almost nothing about this nation.
❀°。Der Siebenschläfer *.ﾟ✿ ⋆@sababausa.bsky.social · 3w agoIn 2024, the US imported ~12 million metric tons of potassic fertilizers from Canada (hillnotes.ca/2025/06/05/p...) Specialized ships can carry ~60k metric tons, tho container ships <half that (www.sasktoday.ca/central/loca...) So we'd need at least 200 ships loaded from [checks notes] Belarus
Dear Dems: don't warn. Promise.
Semafor@semafor.com · 3w agoDemocrats are warning that the Trump administration’s secretive third-country deportation program could face a full congressional investigation if the party wins the majority in one or both chambers in November. www.semafor.com/article/09/1...
Gallego says he supports tearing down Trump's ballroom and arch and explains why
I look forward to the 2028 Democratic nominee turning to him in a debate and saying "Oh, you were secretly against the war? That means you were too weak to do anything about it. You couldn't remove your lips from Trump's ass long enough to stand up like a man, you pathetic coward."
Joey Politano🏳️🌈@josephpolitano.bsky.social · 4w agoIncredibly obvious how JD Vance keeps "leaking" these "sources close to JD Vance say JD Vance was secretly against the Iran war" stories; kind of unbelievable that the Times has now published two pieces like this www.nytimes.com/2026/09/10/u...
Why is everyone pussyfooting around about something that is so clearly illegal? Buying. Votes. Is. A. Fucking. Crime.
Since becoming president again, Trump has promised: -$5000 stimulus checks via "DOGE dividend" -$2000 stimulus checks via "tariff dividend" -$1000+ checks via "savings" from expiring ACA subsidies -$5000 "dividend" if Rs win midterms No checks have been issued www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-magi...
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 4w agoTrump: "If the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate...I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000."
It's worse than this. Because in the early morning of October 7, Israeli intelligence picked up signs that Hamas was doing something - but concluded that it was likely just a drill. Had Netanyahu passed along the specific warning from MBZ that Sinwar was planning something big and imminent ...
Nicholas Grossman@nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · last mo.I’ve seen multiple people reference “bin Laden determined to strike in US” and the Oct. 7 intel error was much worse. The US is huge. The warning was vague, not actionable. He’d like to somewhere at some time. Israel is small, Hamas is a top intel target, the warnings were direct and actionable.
The media treats Trump's constant lying as old news. So, there is no lie he could tell that would receive the amount of coverage it deserves. See also, rampant corruption, incompetence, sexaul assault, racism, misogyny, transphobia, other bigotry, incoherence, etc.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last mo.Trump claims he was basically lifted out of the rubble on 9/11: "Two fireman, big strong guys, they grabbed me under the arms -- 'got to get our of here!' -- and they literally lifted me up, and they started running with me."
Elon Musk supported the rising neo-Nazi party in Germany. He’s the number one funder of Republicans in the midterms. He’s supporting fascist agitators in England. It’s long past time for anyone who supports democracy to leave his propaganda website. It’s time to boycott X.
Either way, Israelis continuing to trust him with national security would be ludicrous insanity on the order of returning Trump to office
I think we're at the point where we can incredibly comfortably say that your attitude towards Reform, Restore, MAGA, the AfD etc is how you'd have responded to fascism in the 1930s
the republicans have an antisemitism and pedophile problem that starts with the leader of their party and their top donor
NEW AD: Why is Ken Paxton refusing to debate James Talarico? Because his billionaire handlers won't let their favorite puppet answer questions in public. Go ahead, Ken. Prove us wrong. 🐓
Kamlager-Dove on Speaker Johnson: I know he’s got to get ready for this gaslighting convention that they have next week in Dallas. I’m just going to ask Grindr to make sure you are at capacity because Republicans are coming to a town near you.
The leadership of the United States government would like to inform 4.5 million Americans of the Muslim faith that lying is inherent to their religion. Slobbering bigotry has no place in our government. It degrades and betrays all Americans, Conservative and Liberal.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last mo.Mike Johnson on Iranians: "It's apparently part of their religion that they can just lie to someone they disagree with"
