Ahead of 2028, Sen. Cory Booker to unveil bill to make $75,000 in income tax-free The bill is a marker for the next time Democrats get a chance to rewrite the tax code. The New Jersey senator told NBC News he's keeping the door open to a 2028 presidential bid.

What are we even doing here? The bulk of this is like four trillion dollar regressive tax cut that doesn’t help the poorest families at all and helps the richest the most.

To make it less regressive, he adds like another two trillion in progressive tax cuts that targets families with kids.

Exactly.
It’s a PRIMAL taboo.
In the animal kingdom, resource hoarders barely exist.
They’re either banished from the group (dangerous to the group’s survival) or outright killed.

Only humans worship resource hoarders.

AI error or not, Iran school bombing is a permanent stain on America’s soul | Will Bunch A debate on AI in warfare obscures the truth about an Iran school bombing. U.S. humans are to blame for this war crime.

‪Will Bunch:‬ Wounded Knee. Tulsa. My Lai. Abu Ghraib. And now, Minab. We need to talk about the horror when 180 little schoolgirls, boys and teachers were obliterated by U.S. Tomahawk missiles last week. And tell Congress: Not one more dime for these war crimes. www.inquirer.com/opinion/iran...

Despite receiving treatment for a head injury that affects his movement and comprehension, he always has a smile on his face and still loves to laugh. His mother told us that food is an essential part of his recovery because it strengthens both his body and spirit. #ChefsForGaza

It's not just gas prices that are surging thanks to Trump's war.

Fertilizer costs could rise too — and send food prices skyrocketing.

TRUMP'S "SPECIAL OPERATION" is just like Putin's "special operation" in Ukraine- supposed to last 3 days? If you notice, Trump often mimics Putin and Russian style disinformation tactics. Fascists like Putin/Trump/GOP know how important words are, so it can't possibly be a "war", that would be bad?!

You are seeing the end of “Hydrocarbon Man” homo petrolius.

😂😂😂😂 The incompetence is staggering

Impôts, taxes, marché… Voici comment se décompose le prix d’un litre de carburant

Le gouvernement avait défendu jeudi son action, réfutant que l’État soit le « grand gagnant » de la situation, alors que le gros du prix à la pompe correspond à des impôts ou taxes.

No new bills passed by the 🍊💩. Sounds like a great plan! Democrats - stay strong and do not bend!!

Once again, I’m reminded of “Death of Stalin” & the buffoonery that his inner circle performed out of fear that he might put them next on the disappearance list.

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

This whole cabinet looks like reincarnated Hitler idiots. It's unnerving actually.

So troubling.
Makes one wonder.

Exactly.

These are real, untouched photos. The resemblance between Nazi second in command Hermann Göring and Pete Hegseth is truly uncanny!
