Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year.

The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year.

Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

Please stop lady. I can’t support Mamdani any harder.

the most important part of this story is not that US diplomats asked if nonwhites qualify for Trump's South Africa refugee program but that Spencer Chretien--a high ranking appointee in Trump's State Department and former Associate Director of the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025--answered NO

We have done this experiment one billion times and it has worked great all one billion times.

Residents of Tempe came out in huge numbers to oppose a city ordinance that would put major limitations on those who offer food and provide services to unsheltered people. The council passed it anyway.

So the community organizes a campaign in attempt to repeal the ordinance. The response:

Carl Sagan's prediction of America, made 30 years ago.

Heroes in our public service are taking large risks to fight the kneecapping of American science.

The High Costs of Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful’ New Car Loan Deduction By letting some buyers deduct interest on auto loans, the GOP megabill promises to lower transportation bills. But this tax break could do the opposite.

Thanks to GOP’s “big, beautiful bill,” auto loan interest will soon be tax-deductible.

Sound exciting? It’s not – unless you sell cars.

In fact, the new tax break will make US transportation even more distorted, autocentric, & polluting than it already is.

In Bloomberg, I explained why 🧵

EPSTEIN LATEST: In light of what we released last week from my staff's investigation, I'm handing Trump's DOJ a ready-made case with seven different lines of investigation for them to follow the money on Jeffrey Epstein.

Gaza is starving Palestinians seeking food are being killed by the IDF. It's time for the entire world to say enough.

In the past when I sat down to write about Israel, I’ve had a moment where I take a deep breath and accept that, as a Jewish woman, it’s going to be difficult. This time, there was no such moment.

I wrote about the intentional starvation of Gaza by Israel/US, and the moral imperative to say enough:

Here's the thing about claims that "history will remember."

History doesn't remember. *People* remember.

Reconstruction ended ~150 years ago. For most of that time, Americans have misunderstood, misremembered, & willfully misrepresented it - despite a vast historical record to the contrary.

I refuse to give the horrifying Bret Stephens op-ed my attention and, weeping through it, read Marisa's piece "Gaza is Starving" instead.

Recommend you read it, and pressure your elected official to push for an end to the atrocities.

They simply cannot allow truthful reporting or academic debate on gaza

Because the truth must be denied else every justification collapses under the weight of its fetid lies

Blazers presser —
Dame: we squashed the beef.
Joe: we squashed the beef.
Both together (standing with hands held in the air): if we can squash the beef, we can all squash the beef. Then the whole world can squash the beef.

PDX folks, if you wish, you can do a survey on the importance of the Preschool for All program

“What Became of the House”

There used to be a house with many rooms
And each room was painted a different color
And each room had a different purpose
And each person in the house had a favorite room

An unbearably sad statement from the Editorial Committee (SDJ) of the AFP news agency, please read:

"Without immediate intervention, the last reporters in Gaza will die.
AFP has been working with 1 writer, 3 photographers and 6 videographers, all freelance, in the Gaza Strip… /1

If they can’t afford the same 50/50 revenue split they do in the MNBA, then maybe they should just let the girls run with the Unrivaled league for a while.

Migrants at Ice jail in Miami made to kneel to eat ‘like dogs’, report alleges Incident in which migrants were shackled with hands tied of one succession of alleged abuses at jails in Florida

My only hope is that one day Trump and his officials will face a tribunal on crimes against humanity.

i would pay good money for a PPV steel cage match between Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, winner has their name redacted from the Epstein Files

So @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is a Republican and the Dems need to find a new leader yesterday. This is like Lindy Li being Kamala's finance director. We got foxes in the hen house. Dump him.

ICE stops car in middle of road—pulls out gun or taser & rushes to confront woman driver.

Agents know exactly who the woman is—a well known activist who's been filming ICE for weeks.

Retaliation against a citizen for exercising their First Amendment right to film law enforcement in public spaces.

Hmm it’s almost as if lawbreaking isn’t the chief concern of the police.

Why Is Blue Oregon Trying to Kill Voter-Approved Free Preschool? The social benefits of preschool extend far beyond the playground. Yet state officials are working on paring back a fledgling Multnomah County early-education program.

“That a Democratic governor & members of the legislature would engage in small-d democratic backsliding to unspool a voter-sanctioned program that aims to provide universal preschool for 11000 children in MultCo by 2030 has been a surprising, if not shocking, development in this Dem trifecta state.”

All I’m saying is that Damian Lillard left Portland the same year Rene Gonzalez got elected and didn’t come back until after he got kicked off council.
