Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Maybe someone should tell Megyn R. Kelly 15 is not β€œbarely legal”, it’s actually quite illegal?

Legal professionals, law professors, whomever very knowledgeable with US military code / law... HELP THEM! This IS the military trying to figure out how to say "no".
It has to start somewhere!

Yep, he doesn’t seem to understand we don’t care who the criminals are, we want them brought to justice. No kings. No queens. Justice for all.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

This is odd, it looks like the DOJ skipped suing Texas entirely. The Justice Department is now suing California over the new congressional district boundaries that voters approved just last week, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Thursday in a post on X. Who are they going to sue, the voters?

Trump Administration Expected to Drastically Cut Housing Grants

Trump's HUD is preparing to gut federal support for long-term housing programs.

The changes could put 170,000 formerly homeless people at risk of losing their housing β€” many of whom are disabled or over 50.

The cruelty is endless. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...

Really wild how all these Harvard scientists and mathematics guys constantly talked about how Jeffrey Epstein was this brilliant, "misunderstood" man and then you read his emails and he's clearly a barely literate lecher, extremely easy to understand

Senator in 2010 deposition: 13-year-olds can consent to sex U.S. Sen. James Lankford of Oklahoma testified as part of a civil case into an alleged sexual assault at the Baptist church camp he oversaw that he believed a 13-year-old can consent to sex.

Just throwing this out there for reasons

The American people deserve answers, and it’s time for the DOJ and FBI to provide them.

While we appreciate that the Epstein estate has been transparent, it’s time for the Administration to do their part.

Can we just take a minute and acknowledge that our POTUS is right OUT IN THE OPEN lobbying Congressional members to vote against releasing the Epstein files?! Like... what the fuck else does anyone even need to know?

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

"Essentially what you have here is the two main conspirators in this Jeffrey Epstein case basically saying to one another, sure is weird that Donald Trump hasn't been pulled into this whole thing yet."

Thank you so much for fighting this fight 😊 I introduced some new people to your latest two videos. One person has physics degrees, deals with data professionally & immediately saw the points you are making with the data & felt what you are exposing are smoking guns.

Y’all are the heroes we need 🫢

Major discovery revelations in the #RocklandCounty NY lawsuit challenging the results of the 2024 election as we await the judge's decision on whether to allow the request for a full hand recount to move forward, or whether to dismiss the case. The county has fought the recount and we wonder why?

If you have a very low-latitude aurora observation from tonight, please record your exact time and rough location and DO NOT DELETE your photo. These observations will be important for scientific research of this event.

This clip will be forever burned into my brain. When @sanders.senate.gov told them they would be killing 51,000 people with their vote and they did it anyway. It was like watching him beg for mercy at a public execution.
