It’s Tax Day.
While working folks are doing everything right to file on time, Republicans are out here pushing a $7 trillion tax cut for billionaires like Trump and Elon.

Let’s be clear: their tax plan isn’t about helping you—it’s about keeping the rich rich while the rest of us foot the bill.

Nice Guy Gov Tim Walz Signing Free School Meals For All Break!! 🤗

Thank you…I really needed this ❤️

A confession?

Attention Pennsylvania Attorney General.

We now enter zombie TikTok phase with all the wrong people in the room to revive it.

I don't remember anyone ever using tiktok to go in and slaughter school children. They banned tiktok before they banned assault rifles.

We can’t ban assault weapons because “bans don’t work”. Also, we’re banning tiktok.

This has always been the GOP's strategy:

1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.

2) Explode the deficit.

3) Demand cuts to Social Security and Medicare.

4) Repeat.

As of January 1, Minnesotans won’t have co-pays higher than $25 per month for prescription drugs used to treat chronic diseases, and we’re putting a $50 per month cap on all related medical supplies.

We’re putting the wellbeing of our people before the profits of big pharma.

This is a BFD

Friends, I understand the urge to unplug from the media, but I never would have known my Rep was funded by “school choice” millionaires if my local newspaper wouldn’t have reported it.

We need folks on the ground covering school board meetings and city council meetings and commissioner reports.

Wait - We were told California is a burning hellscape? 🫤

Food delivery. Travel websites. Concert tickets.
 
When companies charge hidden fees at checkout, it can cost families thousands of dollars a year.
 
Starting tomorrow, those mysterious fees are banned in Minnesota.

CEO Pay Has Risen 1,085% Since 1978, But for Workers? Just 24% | Common Dreams CEOs at top US companies saw their pay skyrocket by 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay only increased by 24%

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?

100%? 500%?

Try 1,085%

Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

More of this

That’s the best take ever! 🖖
