💰 $2.4 trillion
If you spent $1 million/day, every single day, it would take you 6,575 years to burn through $2.4 trillion.

With that, we could:
• Rebuild every public school in USA & fix every pothole.
• Fund universal pre-K & community college for the next decade.
• Or… tax cuts for the top 1%.

If I say “boys” 3 pets (2 dogs, 1 cat) will instantly start moving toward the back door to go outside.

Plenty of politicians on both sides of the aisle feel threatened by rising class consciousness.

A tweet by Sarah Longwell (@SarahLongwell25 ) reads: "He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. Don’t you see what’s happening here?"

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

I’m getting really fed up with the trade deficit I have with my local coffee shop. I’ve spent thousands in there over the years and they haven’t bought a single thing from me!

Beginning tomorrow, I’m demanding a 25% surcharge added onto my coffee order. That’ll show ‘em.

I honestly wasn’t sure whether this was satire. It seems plausible. 😅

She’d get my vote here in OKC!

I need Danny McBride to play JD when they inevitably make a movie about all this.

Now that I am finished screaming into the void about schooling for kids with disabilities being assigned to RFK: understand what this means.

He’s lumping accommodations into HHS, meaning those needs are now considered medicalized. Different from everyday education.

This is eugenics.

Openly ignoring and defying the Judiciary.

Breaking his oath to preserve and protect the Constitution of the United States.

Granting himself unchecked power.

This is authoritarianism.

Timeline cleanse.

The center of gravity in Evangelical theology is Jesus “paid a debt he didn’t owe.” He “went to the cross with you in mind as the ultimate sacrifice.”

If you genuinely believe that (and I believe many do) then you should loudly reject the “empathy is a sin/weakness” narrative with your whole chest.

No notes. 🤌

“I won’t forget” ?

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.

What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start

Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.

“DO YOUR JOB!”

TEXAS: @RepKeithSelf’s turn

I owe an apology to all James Bond movies. I mocked them for having completely unrealistic, cartoonish villains that simply weren't believable.

2025 has made it impossible to levy that criticism anymore.

Yes

James Donald Bowman cosplaying a tough guy™️ while berating and insulting an *actual* leader is just the thing my blood pressure didn’t need today.

So increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage is “socialism”?

But Amazon union busting, keeping wages low, and forcing workers onto public assistance while its founder increases his net worth by $7.9M an hour is the "free market"?

Perhaps this could be a WaPo opinion piece.

The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979. 

Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth. 

Trickle down economics was always a hoax.

It’s obviously Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Wile E. Coyote.
