Taylor Swift gets engaged. Mass engagements across the country. TS gets married. Mass marriages across the country. TS gets pregnant. Mass pregnancies across the country.

Calling it now. The Taylor Swift Effect.

Zig zag mustard. I love that idea.

Rand Paul: "The whole [tariffs] debate is so fundamentally backwards & upside down. It's based on a fallacy & the fallacy is this: that somehow in a trade, someone must lose. That somehow when you trade with someone, someone is taking advantage of you... I have a trade deficit with my grocery store"

The U.S is the wealthiest country in the history of the world. We should not have the highest rate of child poverty of nearly every major country on earth. We should have the lowest.
 
It's time to end this international embarrassment & create an economy that works for all.

It me

How can the IRS have tax info for undocumented immigrants when conservatives have spent years telling us undocumented immigrants don't pay taxes?

Medicare for All isn't radical.

What's radical is that we are the only major country not to guarantee health care as a human right. Every other major country figured out years ago how to provide health care to all at a much lower cost.

Please don't tell me we can't do the same.

Women’s history month

If Republicans cut $880 billion from Medicaid:

- Millions of children will lose their health care.

- Funding for community health centers will dry up.

- Your mom and dad may not be able to get the nursing home care they need.

That's what happens when Musk runs the government.

“I was hungry” and you cut $1 Billion in funding to schools and food banks.

“I was sick” and you worked to gut medicaid, depriving me of healthcare.

“I was a stranger” and you defined my humanity by legal status.

“What ever you do to the least of these, you do unto me.”-Jesus

In vast areas of the US, the sentiments expressed in this wonderful letter from a British man about why it's a privilege to pay tax to enable the National Health Service to run would see him probably certified as insane and labelled a "socialist".

Starting this week, we’ll all pay more at the store because of the Trump tariffs, even while he’s finalizing a multi-trillion-dollar tax cut for the wealthy.

All the bluster is meant to get us talking about literally anything else.

TOMORROW- Friday, February 28th is BLACKOUT FRIDAY!

If you believe we are in danger of losing our Democracy forever, FIGHT BACK!

Let's make our voices heard in numbers too big to ignore.

JOIN US if you've had it with Comrade Krasnov. 🤬 🇷🇺

#24HourEconomicBlackout

House Rs just passed the budget resolution, the first step in their process to enact a bill that'd kick millions off Medicaid & cut SNAP down to just $1.60 per person per meal on avg while cutting taxes for the top 0.1% by $278k - all while increasing the debt

🧵on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT

Notice how it’s always “the Bible must inform our laws!” until it comes to the verses about welcoming the immigrant, helping the poor, feeding the hungry, bringing healthcare to the sick, forgiving debts, not charging interest, caring for our planet, laying down our swords, or loving our neighbors.

There are some self-proclaimed Christians pushing voucher scams.

Vouchers take money from public schools and give it to wealthy parents who already send their kids to private school.

I can’t think of anything more un-Christian than stealing from the poor to give to the rich.

The cover of a book, bright red, by Omar El Akkad. The title reads: One day, when it's safe, when there's no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it's too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this.

I am not making this up: Republicans have introduced legislation… to increase your bank fees.

First things Trumpsters did at DOJ? Close anti-kleptocracy office (hello, Russian oligarchs); decapitate environmental office (hello, polluters).

When you see the seemingly random mad destruction of government taking place, look behind the curtain. Look for corruption.
