Left: JD Vance claiming he'd love "if Democrats were willing to work with us on lowering housing prices" to have some "real bipartisan compromise"
Right: Trump refusing to sign the bipartisan bill to lower housing prices, calling it "unimportant" and a "big yawn"
Funny how debt gets forgiven when rich people rack it up on yachts, hedge funds, or failed companies. But when regular people go into debt for school, medical bills, or just trying to survive, suddenly it’s called irresponsibility. The hypocrisy is disgusting.
🚨Republicans just voted 50-49 to hand the Boundary Waters to a foreign mining company that will pollute its headwaters & ship every last mineral to China.
Now it goes to Trump's desk, who has financial ties to the billionaire behind the deal. They're not even pretending anymore.
MAGA farmers bitching and moaning about their losses means nothing. Trump fucked them over during his first term and they voted for him again cuz daddy was gonna get rid of DEI and “illegals.” #DemsUnited
MURRAY: Is it true that people making under $184k pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate?
DAHL: Yes.
MURRAY: And the rate for someone making $1 million?
DAHL: 2.2%.
MURRAY: So, a 12.4% tax for people making less than $184k, but 2.2% for a millionaire or .0002% for billionaires.
All of us dog people know the sad truth that comes along with loving a dog. When you sign up for the hello, you sign up for the goodbye, too.
Somewhere deep down, the first day you meet, you already know how the story will go. You know one day the goodbye will come - but you do it anyway. Again and again.
Because in between hello and goodbye, they give you everything. They fill your days with a kind of love that asks for nothing in return, except some of your time. They become your routine, your comfort, your home.
So I guess maybe dog people are a little "unfortunate" because we choose a life where our hearts will be broken again and again, but what we really choose is love, over safety and loneliness, every single time. We accept the grief, because it means we have, and will continue to experience something so pure and so rare that it's worth every ounce of the pain that follows.
In the end, it's never really about losing them. It's about being lucky enough to have been theirs and to show them all what being loved back feels like before they have to leave.
DURBIN: How does taking a father from a child dying of cancer qualify as a violent crime?
NOEM: I don't know what you're speaking of
DURBIN: You know exactly what I'm speaking of. Ruben Torres two weeks ago buried his daughter Ofelia. When he was arrested at Home Depot, he said to your agents, 'Please let me go home. My daughter is dying of cancer.' They said 'No.' They arrested him and deported him for two weeks. Finally he returned for a court hearing. His daughter lived to see that hearing where the court said he was treated unfairly by your agency, and she died 3 days later. I was at her memorial service. Was he a violent criminal?
NOEM: Sir, we enforce the law
DURBIN: What law?
