Republicans to Democrats: We started a war so now you have to agree to additional DHS funding without ICE reforms.

Surprise! The Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post is against my 5% billionaire wealth tax. I wonder why?

If enacted, Bezos would owe $12 billion in taxes, and an average family of 4 would receive a $12,000 direct payment.

Poor Jeff would be left with just $224 billion to survive.

Musk, worth $829 billion, owns X.

Bezos, worth $234 billion, owns The Washington Post & Twitch.

Zuckerberg, worth $231 billion, owns Facebook, Instagram & WhatsApp.

And now Larry Ellison, worth $202 billion, is about to control CNN, CBS, TikTok & HBO.

Yes, this is oligarchy.

The United States gave Netanyahu over $24 billion in taxpayer dollars to fund his horrific war in Gaza.

That wasn't enough. Netanyahu wanted war with Iran. Trump gave him one.

The American people β€” not Netanyahu’s right-wing government β€” should determine U.S. foreign policy.

Dear @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social ::

Now that you’ve subpoenaed Bondi, keep in mind that it’s kind of pointless to ask her questions. Make your point, force republicans to use their time to let her respond with her nonsense, and interrupt her liberally.

JUST IN: A federal judge has barred Gov DeSantis from designating CAIR as a terrorist organization and punish those who associate with the group.
