The IRS got caught sharing data with ICE… Now the White House wants tax forms to ask about citizenship. Immigrants pay $97 BILLION a year in taxes. Most billionaires pay $0. But instead of focusing on rich tax cheats, they're turning your tax returns into a deportation tool. Now, go VOTE!! 😎🇺🇸✨

This heckler interrupts Trump talking about his ballroom while people can't afford groceries with the best heckle ever: "SHOVE THAT BALLROOM UP YOUR FAT ASS!!” Trump is shocked. He then oddly laughs like even he gets it's over for the GOP!

BREAKING: NETANYAHU IS IN FULL PANIC MODE! Goes Into Hiding After IDF Chief And Others Accuse Him Of TREASON By Attempting To Trigger New Attacks On Iran And Drag The U.S. Into A New War With IRAN During Israeli Elections! Say goodbye to the ASSHOLE. 😎✨

CAN YOU SAY THE SAME?! 🤚

did jared kushner mention the billions he had access to in foreign bank accounts in exchange for U.S. government favors during your secret meeting, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social 🤔

Oh look, Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner is exactly as corrupt as we all know he is. “More than $700 MILLION in transfers” — Saudi Arabia & UAE set up a multi-billion dollar slush fund for him. www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

This is one of the most holy sh*t stories I’ve ever read in my life. www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

DIRTY MOTHER FUCKER JUST LIKE HIS JAIL BIRD DADDY.

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Donald Trump: widening inequality, economic insecurity, and the unchecked political power of corporations and the rich. Political centrism is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and oligarchy.

California voters: Don’t fall for billionaires’ tricks. Vote YES on Prop 40. Vote NO on Props 41 and 42. Let me explain.

That billionaire should be investigated, arrested, and imprisoned. And then all his money and assets should be seized and distributed to everyone he has harmed.

Man, I'm so fucking pissed at Chuck Schumer for not yet saying a word this administration launching a baseless, bigoted, & vindictive criminal investigation into Ilhan Omar

One of the best feelings for an introvert is slipping out of a social event without anyone noticing, driving home in complete silence, and feeling more at peace with every mile

He’s Exhibit A on why billionaire wealth should be taxed, why we have to get big money out of politics, why billionaires shouldn’t be allowed to buy up major media, and why our government shouldn’t give them huge military contracts.

I am reminded again how in 1935, the US Congress passed a tax law that created a new top tax bracket of nearly 80%. That tax bracket contained exactly one person, John D. Rockefeller, and was designed to stop him from causing so much trouble. In case anyone needs the precedent.

Excellent Idea Let's Go!

The ADL is showing us all who they are. Believe them.

The top 10% of richest Americans own 87% of stocks. The top 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks. When Trump touts the stock market as a sign of a good economy, remember who is benefiting the most.

Remember when centrist Democrats fight harder against the left than against mega-fascists? James Carville's last domestic election win was 1992. We need leadership that actually fights for working people, not old strategies that got us here. Support candidates building real coalitions.

President Donald Trump has no legitimate grounds to order the seizure of ballots or voting machines during this year’s midterm elections. But the dismal reality is he may try anyway. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump this AM slams federal judge for stopping him from destroying more trees to renovate a golf course he wants to turn into the "Most Spectacular Golf Courses anywhere in the World!” People can't afford groceries and gas but Trump is focused on luxury golf courses! www.mediaite.com/media/news/t...

We’re living in a time where you can work 40 hours a week, eat at home, barely go anywhere, and STILL be broke before payday… We’re not even living anymore, just working to survive, and the government doesn’t give a damn. Mad yet?! Good, now go VOTE! 😎🇺🇸✨

The official govt of Israel account muted me after I answered their question, so I decided it’s important even more people see my answer.

🚨 BREAKING: Trump’s administration is threatening Europe with “DEVASTATING” retaliation if European countries move to reduce their dependence on Elon Musk’s Starlink. Instead of standing up to Putin, Trump is using American power to protect Musk’s business interests. TRUMP. IS. A. TRAITOR. 😎🇺🇸✨

Note: the Alexander Brothers represented Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump in their 2021 purchase of a Florida mansion for $24 million.

If this were an immigrant or Muslim it would make national headlines. Because it's a Nazi you're probably just now hearing about it.

BREAKING: We just sued Jared Kushner for unlawfully acting as one of the country's top diplomats without undergoing Senate confirmation or filing financial disclosures. It’s abundantly clear that he should be blocked from performing this outsized role: www.citizensforethics.org/legal-action...

It’s bad enough that Gavin Newsom opposes California’s Prop 40. But he also supports Prop 42, a billionaire-backed poison pill that would cancel out Prop 40 entirely and make it impossible to enact future wealth taxes. It’s clear whose side he’s on. Remember this in 2028.

THE CDC IS WITHHOLDING INFECTION RATES… THE PENTAGON IS WITHHOLDING CASUALTY AND HIT NUMBERS… THE FDA IS WITHHOLDING INFORMATION ABOUT FOOD CONTAMINATION… THE CORRUPTION IS ABSOLUTELY STAGGERING! NOW, GO VOTE!! 😎🇺🇸✨

So, JD Vance has no clue what ‘socialism’ means, and he’s 100% okay with just making shit up, to continue the Republican scare tactic that “you will be replaced by someone that you find unacceptable.”

Texas just made weed a felony after over 70% of voters voted to legalize it… That's what happens when incarceration rates go down and for-profit prisons start to lose money! Mad yet?! 😎✨

JUST THE FACTS…👇 San Diego is home to more than 110k active duty military members, 60k military children and 200k veterans… So, when he says San Diego is expendable, he’s directly disrespecting our military. Full stop. 😎✨

Until the Reagan years, the SEC considered stock buybacks to be illegal stock manipulation. Now, NVIDIA has announced the largest buyback in American history — fueled by the data center boom. It's time to make buybacks illegal again.

I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm-bomb

If we have to pay property taxes on the unrealized value of our homes, we should have no problem taxing billionaires on the unrealized value of their market gains.

I feel optimistic about the midterm elections, just over five weeks away. But my stomach aches when I think of what’s at stake. Call me nauseously optimistic. How do you feel? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-nauseous-optimism

Norway produces more oil than Venezuela. And yet, between January and August 2026, electric vehicles made up 97.8 percent of all new cars sold in that country. Moving to EVs is often based on intelligence, not need. Which is why it lags in the notoriously short-sighted and stupid United States.

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal and his government has committed genocide in Gaza. The United States should stop all military assistance to Israel. Saying this is not antisemitic. (I’m Jewish, by the way.)

JUST A REMINDER…👇 Now, go VOTE! 😎🇺🇸✨

The billions of dollars we send to a foreign military to drop bombs on somebody else should have been spent to build schools, housing, and to provide healthcare HERE.

This warning from David Letterman to the media from just a year ago feels sadly too relevant today. He is right: You can't appease a tyrant.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years: Tax cuts for the rich ...don’t trickle down Boosting military spending ...doesn’t bring peace Slashing regulations ...doesn’t create jobs Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

Dazzling defensive prowess and tremendous power earned Ryne Sandberg nine straight Gold Glove Awards, 10 consecutive All-Star Game appearances and a plaque in Cooperstown. The Cubs legend was born #OTD in 1959.

56 years ago today, Jimi Hendrix died at the age of 27. Here we remember the life and music of the guitarist after his untimely death. 🎸 www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

Are we allowed to know where all the money is from the oil we’ve plundered from Venezuela? Where is it? How much is it? Has any of it been spent? Who has profited from it? Can we get a full accounting or is that too much to ask? I realize Republicans in Congress don’t care.
