people don’t realize how expensive middle class life became.
Lying in a legal briefing would get you disbarred as a regular lawyer. But when you’re an unelected, lifetime appointee with powers to write decisions that completely undo & remake the Constitution, the decision gets to stand & you get to keep your lifetime position. Outrageous.
So Republicans can gerrymander the entire south in a matter of 2 days but when Dems take it to an actual vote (and win) it gets tossed. Great fucking country we have. 👍
I just want to point out....
The amount of money the United States has spent on war in the last 67 days, is roughly the same cost that Bernie Sanders proposed for universal college. So the real question is never can we afford it, it's what we choose to prioritize.
Who even needs elections anymore? Let's just decide the House by non-stop competing district re-draws.
This is totally what The Founders had in mind. Thank you for upholding the constitution, SCOTUS!
let me make sure i’m understanding this correctly
the supreme court is refunding all tariff money back to corporations.
the same corporations that didn’t pay a single cent of those tariffs to begin with.
they passed every dollar directly to you through higher prices on everything you buy
you went to the store and paid more for groceries. you paid more for clothes. for car parts. for literally everything.
that money came out of YOUR pocket not theirs
and now the refund goes to THEM?
the corporations who used the tariffs as an excuse to raise prices even higher than the tariff itself and pocket the difference
the american people funded the tariffs.
the corporations profited off the tariffs.
and now the corporations get a refund on money they never spent in the first place
and nobody in washington thinks the people who actually paid should get the money back.
not a single person has even suggested it
guess we are never getting our DOGE checks either
this country does not work for you.
it works for them. it’s a joke
and they’re not even pretending anymore
🚨do you understand what just happened with America's biggest corporations..
Disney made $8.3 BILLION in profit last year.
Federal taxes paid: $0
CVS made $6.57 BILLION.
Federal taxes paid: $0
Tesla made $5.7 BILLION.
Federal taxes paid: $0
Meanwhile Tesla paid China $1 BILLION+ in taxes the same year.
88 corporations. $105 BILLION in US profits. Zero to the IRS.
Instead? The government PAID THEM $4.7 billion in rebates.
You paid more in federal taxes than Walt Disney.
Let that sink in.
> 1950s: corporations funded 1/3 of the federal budget
> 2025: corporations fund 8.6%
It's not illegal. It's not a loophole.
It's the system working exactly as designed.
since it's pretty close to tax day i'd just like to remind everybody that a few years ago the IRS was able to secure funding for a free tax filing service and was ready to release it nationwide until Donald Trump cancelled the program for literally no reason
$4,000 a month job after taxes
$2,000 rent
$600 food
$300 utilities
$300 random stuff
$500 health
$300 left over
This is not bad budgeting, it's reality
I want to be clear that we do NOT need the 25th Amendment invoked.
We need Article 2, Section 4 so we can remove the president, vice president, and his entire cabinet.
Rent is not supposed to be 30% of your income.
30% was the cut-off used to determine if someone was low-income/living in poverty; we weren't supposed to surpass it.
Today they've normalized everyone living in extreme poverty.
