Murray: Is it true that people making under $184,000 pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate?
Dahl: Yes Murray:
And the rate for someone making $1,000,000?
Dahl: 2.2%
THOMAS MASSIE: “It’s ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, & the White House -- and we're yelling 'election fraud'? We won all the damn elections.
What are we doing with that? We’re bankrupting the country. We’re starting new wars. We’re violating the Constitution. We’re not cracking down on the fraud. The problem is not the elections. We won the damn elections. The problem is that we’re wasting the opportunity voters gave us."
While Wall Street executives rake in nearly $1,800 an hour, home-based child care providers earn a median wage of just $6. That isn't a reflection of the value of their work. It's a reflection of an economy that has never valued care the way it values wealth.
It was an honor to visit Xiomara Family Day Care in the Bronx and sit down with extraordinary home-based educators as part of our administration's listening tour with family child care providers.
Together, we will build a universal child care system that works — for families and educators alike.
Listen to Ana Navarro summarize the great American tragedy of electing a self-dealing, serial lying sociopath and conman as president of the United States. Every fucking deceitful decision he makes is for his own self-enrichment — and WE PAY FOR IT ALL.
To be clear: ICE shot and killed a man who was not their target. He had no criminal record, was seeking legal status, & was pushed off the road by unmarked cars.
There’s “no body cam footage”, his family can’t recover his body, and the witnesses in his van have been detained.
Gavin Newsom goes off on the Trump Family corruption:
Newsom: And I’m not talking about the $100,000 watches. I’m not talking about the guitars that he’s selling that you didn’t even know about, or the Bibles, or the sneakers. I’m not talking about all that.
I’m talking about what’s happening substantively with these kids and these investments, and the Pentagon contracts they’re receiving on rare earth minerals and drone companies, and all the stuff that’s happening with the Kushner family, the Witkoff family, the “Board of Peace,” which is about getting a piece of the Middle East.
Let’s talk about the UAE and high-value chips, where they’re getting a piece of our national security, where the Biden administration held off. But as long as you can get a deal done with the UAE on the private family businesses, then all of a sudden national security becomes less of an important talking point.
Or how about the tariff relief in places like Vietnam for the golf courses and the development deals, and the dozen other countries that he’s doing business in? How about all the corruption as it relates to the self-dealing with his resorts and all of his assets that the Secret Service and taxpayers are subsidizing? Or directing G7 investments? Or the emoluments issues across the spectrum every day? Or just the day trading literally behind the Oval Office desk, or showing up on your calendar at a company that you just invested in because you know that stock’s going to pop because you’re going to promote it the next day?
All of this happening—this open sewage system. You talk about draining the swamp. He gave it a presidential suite with gold leaf.
And you’re seeing this gross corruption at a scale and scope never before seen in modern American history. This is stuff I don’t even imagine exists at this scale in a year and a half, even in Putin’s Russia or Kim Jong-un’s North Korea.
PASTOR LORAN LIVINGSTON (@CentralChurchNC): “There has never been a Christian nation, and never will be. You don’t live in one now. A Christian nation wouldn’t have killed and displaced 20 million Native Americans, or thought owning slaves was pleasing to God.”
🚨 Trump donor Adam Kidan went to prison after stealing tens of millions from investors.
Trump just pardoned him, allowing him to keep $21.7 million in stolen funds.
A New 55-Page Congressional Report Alleges Donors Who Wanted to Fund America's 250th Birthday Celebration Were Given the Wrong Bank Routing Numbers Redirecting Their Money to a Trump-Linked Group Instead, Without Their Knowledge, 1 Day Before the Actual 4th of July
Wire fraud?
If you read anything today you must read my article on Trump’s ownership in private prisons and ICE detention facilities. Trump’s policies on immigration are literally lining his pockets. Major new sources globally are not covering this story.
Over 400 white nationalists are marching in DC for America’s 250th, with some flying a flag of an American enemy, and touting this moment under Trump as a “total Aryan victory.”
And people still want to pretend that immigrants are a threat to our country.
