The ballroom went from $200 million & privately funded, to $300 million, to $400 million and taxpayers cover some of it, to MAGA trying to silently jam through $1 BILLION, 100% of which is our tax money, for this ballroom.

It bums me out that we have the resources to fix our society, stop our reliance on fossil fuels, guarantee healthcare, house the homeless, and feed every person in the country, but doing so would be a bad time for like, 8 dudes, so we can’t do it.
How the hell is everything so expensive when all we've done for 40+ years is give corporations the tax breaks they swore they needed to hire workers and lower prices?
Anybody the least little bit curious why Marco Rubio, the actual fucking United States Secretary of State, is at a UFC fight tonight instead of being involved in Iran cease-fire talks? Or is it just me?
Tim Dillon on MAGA: “It’s the greatest con in history, truly. To run as America First and you’re gonna take care of America and then turn around and go all of these things daycare, Medicare, we have nothing to do with that, we’re fighting wars. It is the greatest scam in history”
We are 2 weeks past the deadline for the full release of the Epstein files.

@RoKhanna and @RepThomasMassie - when will the proposal for inherent contempt of Congress be put forward?
What are we waiting for?!
“terrorist .. posing an immediate threat” was literally a 3 year old girl, Ahed Tareq Al-Bayouk, murdered by Israeli forces today in front of her family's tent in the Al-Mawasi region, southern Gaza
It’s fucking hilarious that the two people running the country who are screaming about how immigration is ruining our country both have immigrant wives..🤣
BREAKING: The US Treasury posted a $284.4 billion deficit in October, the worst opening month to any fiscal year in history.
This exceeds the previous record of $284.1 billion in October 2020, during the historic pandemic response.
Government spending jumped +18% YoY, to $688.7 billion, bringing the 6-month moving average up to ~$590 billion.
To put this differently, US government expenditures averaged ~$22.5 BILLION per day last month.
The deficit spiral is accelerating at a record pace.
