Bezos on CNBC: "You could double the taxes I pay, and it's not gonna help that teacher in Queens. I promise you."

Justice Department announces a $1.8 billion 'Anti-Weaponization Fund' fund to compensate Trump allies. That anyone could think up this scam is infuriating. I hate to say it but Todd Blanche is making Pam Bondi look like Mary Poppins.

Y'all! You gotta watch this best analysis of why Trump posted the AI generated image of himself portrayed as #Jesus and also why he said he though it was him as a "doctor" - #DoctorDementia that is... HT to @mrsmisanthrope2 via TikTok @mannyfidel & @TheFungi669 on X

Sen. Murray: "I'm just sickened by this. To go into this war unprepared, to use outdated data, and to have this horrific thing happen where children were killed in a school sends a horrible message to those that are in a war with us and to our own constituents about what America's values are."

Bernie Sanders & Ro Khanna have teamed up to the tune of $4.4T. The proposed tax would apply to 938 billionaires in the US, who collectively own $8.2T in wealth. The Act would reverse the $1.1T in cuts to Medicaid and the ACA made by Trump's Big Beautiful Shitty Bill, expand Medicare to cover dental

vision and hearing care for millions of senior citizens, who would also ensure that no family pays more than 7% of their income on childcare & establish a minimum $60K annual salary for every public school teacher. πŸ’™πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡²πŸ’™ They are calling this the #MakeBillionairesPayTheirFairShareAct πŸ’ͺ @AngryMaleVet

The legislation would redistribute their (IMHO, obscene) wealth by providing $3K direct payments in its first year of enactment to every person in the household earning less than $150K in annual income. #UBI *Let me add that billionaires are a failure of capitalism, that's why I added "obscene."

If you're also sick of the Patriarchy... 145 iranian girls would still be alive today if Trump had not been pressured by Bibi to go to war with Iran. Not my words but what Marco Rubio (inadvertently) admitted.

Lost amid the noise is the fact that the president just tried to throw six members of Congress in prison because he didn't like what they said. Per @sbg1.bsky.social you have to go back to 1798 to find a congressman prosecuted for exercising his right to free speech www.newyorker.com/news/letter-...

newyorker.comDonald Trump’s Disingenuous Promise to Champion Free SpeechIt is Donald Trump’s systematic campaign to stamp out dissent and punish those who disagree with him that will be remembered as among the most singularly un-American aspects of his disruptive tenure.

Chris Murphy: "I sat with the kids for an hour. They saw things in these prisons they'll never forget. The bottom line is we have a constitutional obligation to only fund an administration that's operating lawfully. We cannot, we should not fund DHS if it committing these crimes."

Massie: "She didn't answer anything. She came here ready to talk about the Dow Jones and the Nasdaq, which seems kind of crazy to me."

Raskin to Bondi: "You're not showing a lot interest in the victims. Whether it's Epstein's human trafficking ring or the homicidal government violence against citizens in Minneapolis, as AG you're siding with the perpetrators and ignoring the victims."

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers. I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

WELKER: Do you bear any responsibility to bring down the temperature? FREY: Of course. But I dropped an F bomb and they killed somebody. I think the killing somebody is the inflammatory element here and not the F bomb.

I read, "If America isn't breaking your heart right now, you don't love her enough" and that's all I can think about. πŸ’” This song has never sounded sadder. TY Sista Rose: @timairarose on TikTok Since this video was over a minute, the ending in the first comment.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Outrageous! If Chuck is tired of fighting and resisting, maybe he should go take a nap. Gather your network & contact your Dem. Senators. Flood them with phone calls & emails. Schumer needs to hear our voices shouting from the rooftops. "NO WE WON'T FOLD!" Congressional Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

Resign now, Chuck. Fucking resign. The people have left you behind as you have utterly failed to meet the moment over and over.

I can't think of a more perfect way to sum up what is happening in all corners of life + politics in the late-stage capitalist oligarchy hellscape that is the United States: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it." -Upton Sinclair

Steve Whitkoff is one of Trump's special envoys. His son is now starting a crypto venture with Trump's sons, Dumb and Dumber, or Beavis and Butthead, or Eric and Don, Jr. This, in and of itself, is a major conflict of interest that not enough people are talking about. via Adam Mockler
