GOP tax bill on track to add more than $2.5 trillion to U.S. deficit The figure is expected to intensify a national debate over spending and tax levels as President Donald Trump tries to push the legislation through Congress.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) may have trouble reducing the bill’s price tag, as that would require either making fewer tax cuts or steeper spending cuts in ways unpalatable to his conference.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office. 
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor. 
3) Donors make a huge profit. 
4) Repeat.

For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

I said it 30 years ago and I'll say it again today: you cannot balance the budget on the backs of working people.

The monsters don't hide under the bed, they wear suits, look you in the eye, and whisper promises that sound like spells.
And when the curtain falls, the real nightmare may not be the fall itself, but what lingers after - a shadow lasting longer than any presidency.

after slavery was ended there were a lot of educated black people that stepped up to lead our country, then the angry white people designed jim crow laws to restrict their freedom, the US as a country is still full of white hate and I am tired of standing by to watch

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.

ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.

REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

AOC brushes off Homan’s warning about ‘trouble’ over her ICE webinar Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently held a session to inform her New York constituents of their civil rights, and Trump’s “border czar” is complaining to the Justice Department.

The Nazis arrested, imprisoned, and often executed those who helped Jewish people avoid capture.

Just a reminder in case that little fact gets stripped from school textbooks over the next few years.
