NEW FROM CBO: brutal distributional analysis of House GOP "Big Beautiful Bill"

On avg the bottom 30% of households get poorer under the GOP bill

Avg gets little - and are worse off if you include tariffs

This'd be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in history

I honestly can’t even imagine. The US has been failing future generations for a long time.

😂 This Aries Season ain’t bringin’ no clarity for nobody.

We still have the retrogrades (and shadows) of Mercury and Venus. We also have the solar eclipse shadow to contend with.

Things will level out in Taurus season.

Juicier, less expensive, better flavor, easier to cook, all the things! Plz don’t tell the yts! 🤫

So much better in every way!

THANK YOU!!!

It won’t be the first time.

@chescaleigh.bsky.social at this point, I need a button that plays “I Never Thought The Leopards Would Eat My Face”on demand 🐆

If you didn’t vote in the presidential election bc Harris didn’t say enough about Gaza, I love you but you fucked up. 💔

So in order “not” to be DEI, you have to become a liar.

Got it.

Wanna hear a funny joke?

Tesla, Amazon, Googlehave lost $1.43 trillion in market value since Trump

Listen I expect for ww to be racist and loose their minds over Meghan, but on the very very rare occasion I see a black creator participating in it my blood boils. Like wtf are you tap dancing for, do you think the ww are about to give you a cookie? They hate your Black ass too.

Republican Official Orders Party to Avoid Town Halls After Protests The NRCC issued a stark warning to all Republican members of Congress.

Republicans in Congress seem to be afraid of their own constituents, and are now trying to avoid in-person town hall meetings.

in one corner, DOGE dudes tasked with slashing federal agencies are making six-figure taxpayer salaries.

in the other: elon musk’s $1 spending limits are causing major disruptions to research and resources across federal agencies.

I just applied to a job that I really want. 🤞🏿🤞🏿🤞🏿

MEET ANYWAY, FOR FUCK’S SAKE!!!

Tesla’s shareholders just lost another $38,640,000,000 today — a total $TSLA loss of $600 billion since December.

Tesla’s CEO was not in the office.

In literally any other public company ever, this would be the point where the CEO gets fired.

Local news deserves high marks for coverage of the doge fallout Reporters are telling gripping human stories, connecting the dots from DC to main street, going beyond acronyms to explain what government agencies do & giving voice to concerns of regular people

@newsjennifer.bsky.social on the gripping and impactful DOGE reporting by local news outlets: "It would be both ironic and so very American if the rich and powerful oligarchs were finally stopped by the underfunded newsrooms and working-class reporters." jenniferschulze.substack.com/p/local-news...

How Federal Employees Are Fighting Back Against Elon Musk Some civil servants are using whatever levers they have to resist the orders of the world’s richest man, both in public and behind closed doors.

“RESIST. DO NOT COMPLY WITH THEIR ILLEGAL MANDATES.”Judge Ortiz emailed her EEOC colleagues after the anti-trans EO. She told me, “The unknown was not as scary as being complicit and not speaking up. I can exist on cornflakes and community at the end of the day if it means that my soul is intact.”

I’m tired, y’all. That’s it.

One thing that's been very revealing is how many politicians valorized working-class and middle-class workers, unless those folks work for the federal government. The cheering of the purging of regular people who have had their entire financial lives upended has been something to see.

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important:

Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?
