Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.

What's required is investment in working people β€” and better wages.

When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.

Remember this.

I did not listen to the Noem hearing but for a passing minute.

Were there ANY questions about the brutality, abuse, and starvation in the concentration camps or by ICE "agents?"

I see all the things they warned would happen under a democrat president, republicans are doing. Moving forward every time a republican slams a democrat for a possible future action, we should know that is the republican plan. Every accusation is a confession.

Becca Balint to Kristi Noem: β€œYou are not above the law. Todd Lyons is not above the law. Nobody working for you is above the lawβ€”

You think you're immune from accountability β€” but I promise you this, one day he’s not going to be president anymore β€” and we are going to continue to prove your guilt”

The U.S. war on Iran is now estimated to cost $1 billion per day. Meanwhile Americans are told there’s no money for healthcare, hospitals, or basic social programs.

Calling in the Clinton’s in for a closed-door testimony while ignoring other widely implicated individuals is no mistake. This is an active, and massive, cover-up.

A couple things…

The β€œconflictβ€œ in Iran *IS* a war.
It is a war of choice.
It is warfare without conscious.
It was unprovoked.

And I’m sick and tired of people suggesting & implying the only tragedies herein are that US Service Members have died. The people of Iran are innocents in this conflict!

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Marylanders deserve a refund.
YouTube video by Governor Wes Moore Marylanders deserve a refund.

Trump’s illegal tariffs cost Maryland’s businesses and consumers up to an estimated $4 billion.

Marylanders deserve a refund from the Trump-Vance Administration.

AOC: We already have multiple American service members who are dead for an illegal action that the president has pursued with no plan out. They don’t know why they got into this war. They’re talking about a hundred different reasons, and they don’t know how they’re getting out.
