“Why isn’t Cory Booker choosing to be completely fiscally insane in a way that I like?”

worse than his dad - headline over new supreme leader

maybe give him a chance ?? it’s this kind of culture which is making it so difficult for up and coming young ayatollahs

Reject cakeism.

Embrace James Medlock Thought and tax positivity.

I am begging liberal politicians to embrace the need for broad based tax rises or at least the concept of everyone needing to pay for a decent, functioning state and society instead of going the populist tax cut route

Me, a citizen of a country where the higher rate of tax starts at £50k seeing a US senator advocating no income tax at all until a near equivalent in dollars: fuck off mate

Exploding the deficit and making it impossible to properly fund all the important government programs liberals hold dear but progressively for no real reason

Democrats are somehow moving towards “no one except the rich should pay any taxes,” and that’s how we break everything.

We can’t have the society we want that way. We can’t fund the programs we want, and the social fabric of society will fall apart.

The instinct is bad and we should reject it.

Ahead of 2028, Sen. Cory Booker to unveil bill to make $75,000 in income tax-free The bill is a marker for the next time Democrats get a chance to rewrite the tax code. The New Jersey senator told NBC News he's keeping the door open to a 2028 presidential bid.

What are we even doing here? The bulk of this is like four trillion dollar regressive tax cut that doesn’t help the poorest families at all and helps the richest the most.

To make it less regressive, he adds like another two trillion in progressive tax cuts that targets families with kids.

"we must not retreat into the comfort zone of any one part of our coalition" i say, before i reach very deliberately for a very specific nostalgic fantasy in order to smother any electoral chances we might have had

One of the things that is fascinating about Blue Labour is how they continually hark back to an imagined past, and imagine that recreating that is the route to electoral success rather than engaging with Labour's present coalition and politics - or, indeed, present working class communities.

The Labour party really needs to stop being so obsessed by what 'Labour' is...

... But putting that aside this is a fascinatingly confused article that tries to claim 'left' values are actually socially conservative and thus Labour should embrace social conservatism.

Doesn't follow at all.

Every time some idiot Blue Labour MP comes out championing social conservatism as a core aspect of the party I feel like asking “ok, so which socially conservative beliefs should Labour be upholding?” and getting the response of “oh you know, those ones.”

Also what a deeply depressing worldview to have that all anyone should care about is their own tiny corner of the world, which is nothing but a recipe for breeding intolerance and parochialism.

Blue Labour are fundamentally too cowardly to say outright what their beliefs really mean, but every woman alive can still see this weasel worded “sanctity of the home” point means “pay men enough so women stay in the home to have and raise babies”.

At midnight Aragorn stands at the Stone of Erech. ‘Oathbreakers, why have ye come?’

A distant voice cries, ‘To fulfil our oath and have peace.’

‘When all this land is clean of the servants of Sauron, I will hold the oath fulfilled, and ye shall have peace and depart for ever.’

This is very much not OK. Nobody should have to put up with this harassment.

I hope the parliamentary authorities look at Hannah Spencer’s safety and protection as a matter of urgency.

Probably not good news that israel and the US have completely opposing goals and arent agreeing in targets first

3 homers in one inning for the Giants lol

It's stiff competition, but Nellie Bowles may actually be the most evil, vapid person to work at her wife's stupid website:

The March 15, 2025, killing of Ruben Ray Martinez drew almost no public attention.

But Martinez is now the first known American citizen shot to death by federal immigration agents during President Trump’s second term. https://wapo.st/4lbpGYC

The Animals of Farthing Wood. Just NIMBY foxes opposing the construction of new homes. I'm glad so many of them died in various harrowing ways.

Ohhh fuck yeah. This is the energy that gives me bliss.

It’s like a Russian liberal but somehow dumber and more annoying

Also the Iranian regime slaughtered 10s of thousands of protesters, which the keyboard warriors will not have realised had a severe chilling effect, and while the protests were happening the Antichrist in the White House posted “help is on the way!!” at them which was not forthcoming.

Why aren’t the Iranian people ignoring all the bombs dropping to take to the fire-filled streets in a city currently under a cloud of poisonous fume?

shush and go back to enjoying your Luis Arraez wannabe playing for the Dominican Republic

I don’t care if it’s ST, a pattern has been firmly established now and for that HE SUCKS
