The Cato Institute is a libertarian think tank.

It just published a 30-year study showing immigrants paid 14.5 trillion dollars more in taxes than they received in government benefits.

Every single year. For thirty years. Without exception.

The country was lied to.

Here is what the study found.🧵

Trump is reportedly urging the Postal Service to hire a board member from FedEx — a leading USPS competitor — as the next Postmaster General.

This is an alarming step towards privatization, which would make USPS more expensive and less reliable for the millions who rely on it.

Casar: "I've knocked on thousands of doors and not a single time has someone flung open their door and said, 'Thank God you're here, congressman. I want to ask about transgender people fencing.' It's just never happened ... what the hell are we doing here? We are here because Chairwoman Marjorie Taylor Greene thinks that if she picks on vulnerable people like trans folks, she can avoid having a discussion about the allegations of insider trading against her."

@LatterDayWright @jaredadairbell The King James Version is lovely, and poetic in its wording, but to say that it is the "only" correct translation--or even the best translation--is risible.

I know I'm not a campaign strategist.

But even I recognize that "Less cancer research, more mid-air collisions" doesn't make the ideal election bumper sticker.

I don’t think Americans grasp how much of their social services are paid for by New York City.

Foreign nationals are prohibited from contributing to Donald Trump’s campaign.

But Trump’s memecoin scam allows foreigners to influence U.S. policy by putting money directly in his pocket.

This unlawful graft must be stopped.

Trump's FTC is planning to lift restrictions on two oil CEOs who allegedly colluded with foreign governments to jack up gas prices.

This comes after the CEOs, their family members, and businesses gave big donations to Trump and the RNC.

The rule of law is for sale under Trump.

@NancyMace Have you seriously never been to a public building that has a single handicapped restroom instead of separate handicapped restrooms for men and women? It's very common, due to either space constraints or cost, especially for small businesses.

[Rep. Jamie Raskin @RepRaskin]

No one voted for less cancer research or fewer air traffic controllers. Donald Trump is taking a chainsaw to essential government functions.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

When Trump...

-Holds a private dinner for his crypto coin buyers 
-Promotes Teslas on the White House driveway on behalf of a multibillionaire who spent $277M backing him
-Uses state visits to advance his hotel business

It's corruption, plain and simple.

PS to the Trump administration's great patriotic war on girls' dolls and pencils: notice how "unnecessary foreign luxuries" are female-coded. An outboard motor is crammed with Chinese components, but try to imagine Trump asking, "Do Americans really need to own personal boats?"

[Turnbull @cturnbull1968]

Biden’s Infrastructure Act helped expand the FAA but when Pete Buttigieg went to the House of Representatives and asked for funding to hire 3000 more air traffic controllers, Republicans said no because they don’t want to give Pete a win. This is why we’re in this mess.

Trump will host a private dinner later this month for the top buyers of his memecoin, which has made him the world's newest crypto billionaire.

The top 25 coin buyers will get a "VIP White House tour."

Call it what it is: corruption.

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

This is a TARGETED PROGRAM to remove GENERALS and ADMIRALS and other MILITARY OFFICERS that do not align politically with Donald Trump.

This way if they ever declare martial law or invoke the military to break the law there will be little to no resistance from non-Trumpers.
