Also eliminate the capital gains on home sales so seniors can sell the homes they have lived in for a long time without being penalized. That would open a lots of homes for the marketplace.

By all means, indict Jack Smith on bullshit allegations and give him the trial that SCOTUS denied him.

Poke the bear, Donnie. See what happens.

Greg Abbott sends the elite Meal Team 6 from the Texas National Guard into Illinois.

"Opponents of immigration often argue that immigrants drive up crime rates. But newly released research from Stanford economist Ran Abramitzky and his co-authors finds that hasn’t been the case in America for the last 140 years."

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Jack Smith didn't "tap" anyone's phone. He got phone records of potential insurrection suspects via lawful grand jury subpoenas. Just so happens some of those suspected of participating in January 6th were republican members of congress. If you don't want you phone records subpoenaed...

Early voting is underway for Prop 50 in California.

I urge anyone in the state to vote yes.

This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-blue-states-should-do-when-red

No way republicans allow democrats to win in midterms no matter how big the blue wave. The level of corruption is higher than we have ever seen. They forgot to turn the tabulator button down in 2024 by sweeping swing states. Trump will be bragging ahead of time about having enough votes.

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

TOTALLY. AGREE 💯

OH at a coffee shop near Georgetown, uttered unironically, on what seems to be a date: "I can't believe you were born in the 1900s."

"The pandemic of Covid-19 is over" is a lie.

"Covid-19 is no worse than a cold" is a lie.

"Repeated infections of Covid-19 build immunity" is a lie.

"Covid-19 is not harmful to children" is a lie.

"Because of Covid vaccines, we no longer have to worry about Covid-19" is a lie.

When Democrats controlled the White House, Senate and House there were no shutdowns because we acted like adults and negotiated with Republicans.

Now Republicans control everything and they're refusing to even show up for work. Because they think the chaos of a shutdown is fun.

Why Unpaid Air Traffic Controllers Could Be Key In Ending Shutdown Air traffic controllers are working 60-hour weeks with no pay—conditions that led to a breaking point during the last shutdown.

The problems that we as a nation have sought to illuminate, so that we can remedy them, are disappearing — not because the problems are disappearing or have been remedied, but because we will no longer know about them. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/turning-out-the-lights-on-the-economy

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

The damage done - Nature Medicine When clinical trials are suddenly halted by US funding cuts, there are repercussions for investigators and patients, and they do not stop at borders.

148 clinical trials have been impacted, with 138k patients due to be enrolled or already enrolled.

Once research stops, some won't pick up where they left off. Even when terminated funding was reinstated, things do not go back to normal.

There is so much waste happening.

So the American taxpayer eats it twice, once on tariffs and again on a second farm bailout. I’m glad farmers are getting help, no one should lose their farm, but it’s remarkable how fast “socialism” stops being a dirty word when the checks clear in red counties.

A screenshot of an X.com post by @AdelitaForAZ , Adelita Grijalva, stating, "The people of Southern Arizona deserve representation and I'm ready to get to work. Swear me in NOW! @SpeakerJohnson !" followed by a reply from @GavinNewsom , Gavin Newsom, saying, "It's not even November and the GOP are already rigging elections."

This is the Epstein files shutdown.

Ex-Justice officials: 'It's our duty to sound the alarm' Scores of officials who have resigned or been forced out of the Justice Department this year are speaking out against its "destruction."

“We believe it’s our duty to sound the alarm about this administration’s degradation of DoJ’s vital work, and its assault on the public servants who do it,” according to an open letter signed by 282 former officials.

It will take years to rebuild our Justice Dept.
