West coast best coast! Changed the banner and avi on Jan. 20, 2025.😭🤬
Change the tax laws to pre-Reagan era rates. Nothing trickled down at all. We witnessed hedge funds, tech funds, bank mergers, everybody with insider information became billionaires. But only because we subsidize them. We gave them breaks so they turned on US. Tax em hard. If they leave…so what!
For five years, Clarence Thomas told the government his wife made nothing. She made more than $680,000. You’d be in trouble for that. He kept his lifetime seat. He shouldn't. He needs to be impeached. Agreed?
Make him do it. Veto a minimum wage bill. An anti-corruption bill. An end the war bill. A stop ICE bill. A save medicaid bill. A lower prices bill. Make him veto everything people want. Create the contrast, electoralize it, win in '28, and then make it all law in '29. cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_ful...
I’m not a doctor but this is important for people to know. 🙏💕
The Senate is voting Monday on a big energy bill called BAAJA, which makes it faster to approve power plants, power lines, and mining projects, and also makes giant data centers pay for the grid upgrades they trigger, not your electric bill. Call your senators. 202 224 3121
I have thoughts about RFK. I’m not gonna spell it out, but I bet a lot of you have the same kinds of thoughts. 🤬
ProPublica@propublica.org · 6d agoVaccines were once so uncontroversial that McDonald’s restaurants put the childhood immunization schedule on their tray liners. Now, as the U.S. government sows doubt, preventable diseases could come roaring back. (Published March)
Hell no. ABOLISH ICE. COMPLETELY DEFUND IT. FIRE AND INVESTIGATE LITERALLY EVERYONE WHO WORKED FOR IT. MELT DOWN ITS WEAPONS AND EQUIPMENT. GIVE EVERYONE IT PROSECUTED AMNESTY AND CITIZENSHIP, SHOULD THEY WANT IT.
House Judiciary Dems@democrats-judiciary.house.gov · 7d agoIt’s time for ICE to take the masks off, turn the body cameras on, and start answering to the American people who pay for their bloated budget.
the theory that texas' education system being a load bearing money printer for right wing religious and propaganda organizations...may actually be correct?
Here's your reminder that Howard Lutnick is still Commerce secretary despite blatantly lying to the public about his personal and business relationship with Trump's ex-friend who raped children, Jeffrey Epstein.
Trump and his family are stealing your money and giving it to themselves. While you struggle to fill up your gas tank or pay your mortgage, they keep getting richer. This IS about affordability, and Oversight Democrats are investigating their grift on day one of our majority.
Chuck Schumer, more fire in his belly over not getting a prestigious title than these past years of fucking treason, open corruption, genocide, breathtaking unconstitutionality, etc etc. GFY, Chuck! No one wants you!
Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin@ecmclaughlin.bsky.social · 6d agoSchumer is apparently calling favorable media figures and demanding that they write favorable stories about why he should be Majority Leader. Know that when you see them, those stories are planted.
Imagine the good that $500M regularly being taxed from him could do. #TaxTheRich #EatTheOligarchs #FuckMusk
Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 7d agoImagine the good that ~$500 million could have done instead of being incinerated like one of Elon's rockets.
All this talk of "getting even" or payback or whatever. It's not "getting even". It's enforcing the law. Say that. Correct that. Don't fall into that trap. There's absolutely no reason to.
Remember that House leadership nomination votes are done by secret ballot. No fear of reprisals or retaliation. There is no cost for them to vote their conscience.
Bruno J. Navarro@brunojnavarro.bsky.social · last wk.contact your representatives and tell them aoc should be speaker of the house — and absolutely not jeffries
EXACTLY - anyone who says this should automatically be asked “for what? to shake hands with nazis?”

It’s a constant process of seeing what they can get away with.

I said this on @nativelandpod.bsky.social but I'll repeat it here: A dangerous narrative is going to be "the GOP gerrymandering didn't work." NO. It worked GREAT. We just OVERCAME it. But we'd have even MORE seats, and different candidates could have won those seats, without the gerryamndering.
