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.

If Republicans are so concerned about national security, they’re welcome to make some compromises on body cams and unmasking ICE agents for starters.

But don’t expect Democrats to give another 50 billion to fund the war in Iran . . . .

Democrats have an opportunity next month to lock down a majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court through 2030, which would hand them a critical backstop during the next presidential election, as the right floats new ideas on how to take over election administration.

Historical ranking of US Presidents is silly, but until Trump 2, people could legitimately say Presidents like Jackson, Pierce, Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, Nixon, etc. were worse in terms of harm caused. In adding psychopathic war criminal to his attributes, it’s now difficult to argue against Trump.

Pete Kegsbreath has stumbled into a war which Trump and Rubio are still finding reasons for, besides to distract us from the missing Epstein files, of course. Watch the LP Podcast here: https://youtu.be/lWi4n1go7oE

‘Unholy alliance’: Republicans are suddenly nervous about Russia's support for Iran Russia’s reported support for Iran has drawn Republican pushback over Trump’s “moral blindness when it comes to Putin,” particularly as the Trump administration eases Russian oil sanctions to deal wit...

anyone who cannot see that Donald is colluding with Putin is stupid.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

The catastrophic impact to local health where the air is poisoned, as well as to our global ecosystem as they literally set the planet on fire and fill the atmosphere with pollutants

WATCH — @mehdirhasan.bsky.social to @chrislhayes.bsky.social: “It’s a moral abomination and tactically stupid… Trump doesn’t give a damn about Iranian lives. Have we learned nothing from Iraq or Afghanistan? All we seem to have learned is from Gaza is 🇮🇱 can bomb hospitals & schools with impunity.”

Hochul on Tariffs: I was in the room when he found out he lost. He got the piece of paper, looked down at it, and said, “You know, the Supreme Court just ruled. Looks like they ruled against us.”

He took a couple of questions on other topics, but then he stormed out of the room.

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces. Not surprising. What IS surprising? Our response: easing oil sanctions on Russia.

By any objective measure, this clusterfuck is getting worse.

Now Russia is supplying Iran with intel. China is considering passive support.

This war hurts us more than it does them.

Otherwise they’d be urging the international communities for de-escalation.
