For the bottom 40% of families, California taxes are LOWER than states like Florida and Texas.

In fact, 16 other states tax LOW-WAGE earners MORE than California taxes our HIGH-WAGE earners.

The evidence is clear, and the numbers don't lie.

Amazing how these guys will be all like look, we're going over there to liberate the Iranian people, and then a minute later talk about murdering anyone and everyone in the country we're supposedly liberating.

YouTube video by Katie Phang MAGA UNDER FIRE After SHOCKING RACIST Texts Are LEAKED

Young Republicans repeatedly getting busted for group chats filled with violent racism, anti-Semitism, & misogyny. The latest involves the Miami GOP Sec. & the Pres. of Turning Point USA FIU.

I’ve got the horrid details & thoughts on why the GOP’s future is in the gutter.

This is mental! Ok then how about "when all the files indicating the president is a pedophile have been released, he will be in a place of confessing guilt whether he says so or not"? How's that?

Pistachio and Lemon Olive Oil Cake A cake dedicated to Cricket, who deserved better, as do we.

This Is Why They Hate Us The same question we had 25 years ago is asked again, and the answer is the same.

Once again we’re asking β€œWhy do they hate us?” And the answer is the same: It’s not because of our freedom, it’s because of what we do to them.

Screenshot of an X post by Justin Macmahan criticizing Trump for discussing interior decorating during a press conference on Iran. The quoted post includes Trump describing drapes and a future ballroom. Below is a video still of Trump speaking at a podium in a formal room with gold drapes behind him.

It’s like Kamala Harris said. An unserious man in a very serious position.

Rubio Today: It’s false to say I said the U.S. had to attack because Israel was going to attack. That’s not what I said.

Rubio Yesterday: We knew Israel was going to strike Iran, and that would trigger attacks on U.S. forces. If we didn’t act first, Americans would suffer higher casualties.

The Republicans seem to be prepping an argument that any domestic terror attacks in the aftermath of their Iran attacks will be the fault of Democrats for shutting down DHS funding, so I'd like to remind everyone of this appointment:

From Award Shows to Basketball Games, Caucasians Keep Shouting the N-Word The obsession with uttering the one word that should never be said is peak white rage.

Another Black person had the N-word shouted at him.

And the reason for that, to be clear, is that Nazis have very intentionally co-opted it as such.

They literally name their terror orgs using it

UPDATE: Manhattan Borough President Brad Hoylman-Sigal says that "ICE used a phony missing persons bulletin for a 5 year old girl," to lie and get into a Columbia residential building and detain a student.

"It is unconfirmed at this time whether they impersonated an officer to do so," he adds.
