If we can find a way out of oligarchy, the first priority should be taxing billionaires at Eisenhower rates. Decades of US tax policy insufficiently taxing the wealthiest Americans has become a threat to democracy worldwide. Northern CA.

You all have the obligation to defy illegal orders.

Congress is the only branch of government that can declare war…

They have not;
So deployment orders are illegal orders…

Russia and China are helping Iran carry out precise strikes on U.S. and Israeli air defense systems and radars. Without them, Iran - having no satellites of its own - would never have been able to conduct such accurate strikes.

It's funny how Russia and our other adversaries benefit from every "mistake" Republicans make.

Hegseth keeps saying we are untouchable and invincible and we have total dominance so I don’t know how this could happen.

Instead of spending $50 billion to bankroll Trump’s criminal war on Iran, we could:

-Extend ACA subsidies for one year
-Restore SNAP benefits for 2.4 million people
-And ensure Medicaid coverage for nearly 2 million people

It’s not about what we can afford. It’s about priorities.

Is "Shield of the Americas" another transnational crime syndicate protection racket?

"All the President's Men" was a warning to return to a 91% tax rate on the wealthiest US citizens.

But instead, we kept lowering them for the next several decades.

Trump blocks FBI terror threat alert linked to Iran war Top Trump officials ordered it placed on hold over concerns that it could show the domestic risk of the war and further erode public support.

Sounds like the regime is trying to solicit an attack on US soil…

The Ellisons’ new Paramount/Warner Bros mega-media monopoly would never pass muster if America still had antitrust enforcers.

So who can stop this? State attorneys general. Here's how. ⬇️

People got real mad at Biden for looking at his watch during a dignified transfer.

Looking forward to the same outrage at Trump for wearing a fucking hat
