The minimum wage is meant to be the lowest wage you can live on and afford housing. For everyone saying “it's not meant to be that,” yes, it is.

That's why it's called the minimum wage.

You actually reduce crime by eliminating poverty. You reduce crime with universal healthcare, public housing, livable wages, and free college. You reduce violence by creating happy, healthy communities that aren’t constantly fighting over basic needs and material resources.

A man who took billions in government subsidies and pays less in taxes than you just became the first trillionaire.

And 1 in 3 Americans can't afford to go to the doctor.

"I knew that it was an extraordinary show. I mean to have a chance to work with Frank Oz and Jim Henson and all the Muppets and the writers was a great opportunity."

Happy Birthday, Bob McGrath!

Only when there's a reason to do so, because when I watch an ep all I can focus on is wishing I could go back and adjust a few words, or a few frames, here and there.

Elizabeth Warren’s proposed 3% tax on people with over $100M in wealth would generate $30B in revenue each year on Elon Musk’s fortune alone. That’s about how much the US spends each year on affordable housing subsidies.

Tax. The. Rich.

Like I keep saying, cows don’t vote.

This is a good visual aid for folks who aren’t from California and have never driven from one end of the state to the other.

Republicans win thousands of square miles of mountains, deserts, and tumbleweeds.

Democrats win where the people are.

🔸Scrap the Social Security tax cap.

🔸Increase the federal minimum wage to $23 an hour over the next 5 years.

🔸End Citizens United.

🔸End the tax loopholes and write-offs that allow corporations and billionaires to pay a lower effective tax rate than teachers and firefighters.

🔸Tax long-term capital gains as regular income. Trigger capital gains tax on loans against unrealized gains.
