NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected.

And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.*

I guess we know why Trump, Bondi, Patel and Mike Johnson have been covering up the Epstein files. I’m sure there is a whole lot more and a whole lot worse.

That's because Patel takes his orders from Putin directly.

Good News: New York City will phase out Central Park's horse-drawn carriages by June 2026 under "Ryder's Law."

Horses will be replaced with electric carriages, and new jobs will be offered to drivers.

As someone who’s grown up with horses and continues to ride, this makes me extremely happy.

McGovern: Seriously, we were worried. We actually started handing out missing person posters. Nobody has seen you for eight weeks. But, hey, I'm glad that you are ok. I'm glad you survived your nice, two-month paid vacation

Trump did call fallen soldiers "losers," John Kelly says He said his former boss "admires autocrats and murderous dictators" and has contempt for the rule of law.

A real president does this.

Thank you to every veteran who’s worn the uniform and carried the weight for the rest of us — just respect 🇺🇸

Can they kick him out of caucus, make him sit independent?

You may want to speak with the incumbent Governor about what the people of Virginia want - and what they just voted for.

Is there a government shut down happening? Priorities 🤷🏻‍♀️

If he does this, senate democrats should get rid of him as leader and AOC should primary his weak ass.

Simple Script for Calling your Senators:

Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME]

I live in: [CITY, ZIP CODE]

Please do not re-open the Government until Trump agrees to restore the cuts HE MADE to Health Care Subsidies.

[Explain how it will affect you.]

Thank them. Hang up.

‘Then say your name’…..good grief. This guy is so unwell. Good luck, ‘Merica.

Kara, are you wearing a winter coat on stage? We are in late fall here but you are indoors! Hope you warmed up later on.

Don’t forget Alex Thompson at @axios.com I’m sure he’s also working hard on this!

I remember reading a bunch of corporate media stories about Biden after he got new shoes with better support. Which, by the way, he did after he fractured his foot. bsky.app/profile/atru...

When you desperately want to starve Americans:

What the fuck….
