Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

Itโ€™s not about what this country can or canโ€™t afford.

Itโ€™s about priorities.

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal.

The resistance is active in DCโ€”youโ€™re just not looking closely enough It's not massive protests on Pennsylvania Avenue, but happenstance hecklers and Nextdoor posts.

The DC resistance isnโ€™t manifesting this week as recognizable members of Congress marching up and down Pennsylvania Avenue with CNN cameras in tow, but as an array of ordinary DC residents documenting whatโ€™s happening in their neighborhoods and mobilizing pop-up actions.

Some U.S. media (such as the Washington Post here) trace U.S.-Iranian animosity back to the 1979 Islamic Revolution, conveniently forgetting that the CIA helped overthrow a democratically elected Iranian government in 1953, forcing Iranians to endure decades of the Shahโ€™s brutal rule.

If history teaches us one thing
Never trust a man who would be king
Who seeks all power for himself
To burnish his prestige and wealth

A nation born in revolution
Should know this offers no solution
For there can be no liberty
Where one man rules with impunity

Theyโ€™re not banning books because theyโ€™re dangerousโ€”Theyโ€™re banning them because they expose the truth.

๐Ÿ“š Erased tells the history they tried to buryโ€”& now theyโ€™re coming for it. If itโ€™s โ€œtoo dangerous to teach,โ€ you need to read it.

Bruce Springsteen Decries 'Treasonous' Trump at 2025 Tour Launch Bruce Springsteen called Donald Trump 'corrupt, incompetent and treasonous' during his tour launch on May 14, 2025.

"In my home, the America I love, the America Iโ€™ve written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration."

2/4. The entire practice of the Holocaust of the Jews involved zones of statelessness. It is easier to move people away from law than it is to remove law from people. Almost all of the killing took place in artificially created stateless zones.
