What a shock, no tax on overtime and no tax on tips didn't make it into Trump's tax proposal. I am so surprised.q

1/29: First plane crash in 16 years in DC 1/31: Crash in Philly 2/5: Delta flight struck in Seattle 2/6: Flight wrecks in Alaska 2/10: Crash in Scottsdale 2/12: Military jet crashes in San Diego 2/16: Crash in Covington, GA 7 crashes since the WH congratulated itself for “restoring aviation safety”

cc: @Gavin Newsome It’s time to build a CDC & NIH in California with the folks who were fired from the feds. In fact, I think each blue state governor needs to scoop up these scientists, healthcare workers and laboratory workers asap. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social

Don't let Trump flood your zone. Stay focused. Keep your eye on what this corrupt regime is really doing — looting the government to line their own pockets with massive tax cuts and the ability to steer more federal contracts their way.

Said every tyrant and dictator in human history to justify his actions.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

Do any of you have an address where I can send Pete Hegseth a bottle of champagne to congratulate him on his confirmation? Thanks in advance.

In light of all the news this week I decided to stay in tonight and watch something upbeat

He always wanted to be a king

So let me get this straight, Rev Lorenzo Sewell gave an over the top prayer at the inauguration, and then literally launched a crypto coin after? This is just the biggest grift in human history. Ever. OMG

😂

Sigh. We tried to warn them.

Mike Johnson is threatening to condition California wildfire aid to raising the debt ceiling, which would pave the way for another round of deficit-spiking tax cuts for the wealthy. Playing politics with people's lives to make your donors richer is reprehensible.

Colton Moore was arrested today. His case will now be prosecuted by the Fulton County DA. I believe her name is Fani Willis.

As Trump & his subordinates continue to walk back & renige on one campaign promise after another, MAGA can take comfort in knowing that Trump didn’t mean any of it & was only saying that shit to win the election so he can stay out of prison & further enrich himself & his friends.

We owe a great debt to the firefighting crews now battling the blazes. Those crews, not incidentally, include over 900 inmates from California prisons. Some thoughts 👇

Shortly after Citizens United, Jimmy Carter issued a stark warning about the role of Big Money in politics. May we remember the truths that he told us — and act to remedy them. bit.ly/4j6N1cC

Let’s get one thing straight: the cost of the Green New Deal is far less than the cost of losing our planet to the climate crisis.

Junior & Charlie Kirk rounding up a few homeless people in Greenland and offering them a free lunch to put on MAGA hats to say how much they want the US to take over their country was right out of a Borat movie. Unbelievable.

It was never “America First.” It was always “Trump First.” From 2015 to present. What Republicans do at any given moment is what Trump decides that moment. Which could change an hour or a day later. For Trump this election was about staying out of prison, not a policy agenda.

Trump’s Agenda is: 1. Leveraging politics to exponentially increase his net worth since 2016, which he has accomplished. 2. Deporting migrants who don’t work for Republican-owned businesses. 3. Cutting taxes & regs for billionaires. 4. Getting revenge on his enemies.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

Imagine having been 2nd in line to the Presidency, a job few have had, and debasing yourself so thoroughly just a week after Trump said you were the worst speaker. Kevin McCarthy for ya

Happy new year to the US, Syria, Ukraine, Georgia, and others in your fight for freedom against tyranny!

Now, this is too accurate 👍

If this year taught us anything, it's that: 1) Workers keep America going, not billionaires. 2) Corporate profits don't trickle down to workers. 3) Poverty is a policy choice. 4) Health care is a human right. 5) Strikes work. I hope we act on these lessons in the new year.

How fitting would it be this year if when the ball drops it just bursts into flames

The richest 1% wages have skyrocketed 182% since 1979. Meanwhile, bottom 90% wages have seen just 44% growth. Trickle down economics was always a hoax.

Is there still a Republican alive with a pulse who ACTUALLY BELIEVES that Trump has any intention whatsoever of cutting the federal budget and/or reducing the deficit? Is it possible that there can be someone out there who is that naive and stupid? DOGE is a smokescreen. BS.

Honestly, Captain Highpants has no right to make fun of peoples looks anymore

These MAGA people are about to get brutalized. Tariffs, maybe Social Security cuts, the works. I'm sure they'll blame Biden or something

Remember when Lina Khan blocked the Kroger/Albertsons merger, which would've sent grocery prices skyrocketing? Trump’s new FTC pick vowed to end the “war on mergers.” And wouldn’t you know it, Trump is now walking back his promise to lower grocery prices. Funny how that works.

It’s weird to think that Elon Musk will end up having paid far less for the United States Government than he did for Twitter

President-elect Musk is really setting down the marker of how he wants to run his administration. VP Trump better pay attention.

The owner of a car company is controlling the House of Representatives from a social media app.

Nice idea, but he’s off to a bad start with some of his cabinet thoughts

Nancy Mace’s former Communications Director.

This is your daily reminder that this really did happen.

The Georgian people are fighting for their freedom. Pray for them. GD is Russia, Georgia is Georgian

Trump is on his way to sabotaging the economy with his tariffs. If anyone voted for him to lower egg prices or because they think he’s a savior sent by god, they are dumber than him.

Defending our Constitution & institutions vital to democracy will be my #1 priority in the next 4 years. Ensuring the truth about Jan 6 is not suppressed is the 1st step. DM me if you share this priority. 👇🧵 is a concise account of Trump’s unconstitutional efforts to overturn the 20 election.

Please share. The heroes and acts of Jan. 6th deserve to be remembered, not facts that's can be rewritten to fit a narrative.

Please follow J6 Plaque if you are so inclined. It's wrong that the speaker has hidden it away.
