Honestly, that’s how I have felt about this entire NYC winter. Personally offended!

In less than a year, Trump erased 12 years of solvency for the trust fund that pays for Medicare Part A | Fortune The CBO estimates that benefit reductions would start at 8% in 2040 and steadily climb to a 10% cut by 2056.

Twelve years stolen from Medicare’s future.

Money collected from workers, promised to the elderly.
Reassigned to those who already have too much.

trump's wealthy donor tax cuts are literally killing us.

The hunger at the top is never satisfied, it only asks who will be trimmed next.

Huge news today out of Mexico. CJNG combatants are responding with narcobloqueos in Puerto Vallarta and seemingly a raid at the Guadalajara airport. Ramifications could be significant.

Newsom, Targeting Red States, Kicks Off Book Tour in Nashville

In-N-Out CEO left CA for TN because it’s β€œnot easy” to do business or raise kids in CA.

-> 70% of the chain’s revenue is in CA
-> she’s a MAGA donor worth $9B (she inherited the company πŸ˜’)

Might be time to boycott your beloved burger chain. For real this time.

β€˜No one deserves this’: Beaverton father dies after deportation to Mexico A Beaverton family is grieving after the father, who was detained and deported by ICE, has now died.

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported.

He finally died.

I am so angry.

Yeah, that was a head scratcher. Yeah I know… Teamsters and all, still it was just such an obviously self defeating decision.

Pretty sure most of us were already here β€”
1) the tariffs ruling makes clear that the Court is not going to rule reflexively for the Trump administration in every case
2) there are still plenty of reasons to be concerned about the justices’ overall behavior when Trump is one of the parties at bar.

I live on the upper west side where building maintenance does a good job. Last weekend I went down to Soho, and Prince Street was disgusting! I couldn’t believe the litter that all the businesses and landlords are just ignoring.

I have said that countless times to my friends. In a normal political environment, we would’ve had a serious look back so we can handle it better next time.

Howard Lutnick stands beside President Trump, still in his role as Commerce Secretary, after lying about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

Lutnick said he cut ties with Epstein in 2005. The truth is, he visited Epstein's island in 2012 and did a business deal with Epstein.

State House votes to rename Florida airport to Donald J. Trump international The Republican-controlled Florida House voted 81-30 in support of the name change to President Donald J. Trump International Airport

Last week Donald Trump registered the trademark "Donald J. Trump International Airport." This week Florida Republicans voted to rename Palm Beach International Airport Donald J. Trump International Airport," putting taxpayers on the hook for licensing fees that go straight to him

The Times interviewed 13 Dem voters and asked them if they want progressives or moderates to run for office. Every one said progressives.

If Democrats keep playing to the middle instead of their base, they won’t excite anyone, because they won’t stand for anything. That’s not a winning strategy
