I want to quickly highlight a completely bonkers part of Trump's Project 2025 agenda relating to your salary and faith. You have to see this stuff in text to understand the degree to which these extreme MAGA types want to control your life.

🚨🚨🚨BOOM: AOC DESTROYS Kevin McCarthy for the holding the national debt hostage and for suggesting Washington needs to “spend less.”

“Ok, then undo the yacht and private jet tax breaks the GOP passed for themselves,” AOC retorted.

“Why should single moms and veterans have to pay for the GOP’s giveaways to the rich?

Especially when you don’t even have the votes of your own caucus?” She added.

Let’s get this straight:

The Republicans want nothing more than to pretend that the debt ceiling needs to be lifted to accommodate next year's budget. They frame it that way relentlessly, and sad to say, lazy journalists buy into their framing. The debt ceiling needs to be raised to pay for all the spending the Republicans authorized in 2017 when they gave away a substantial chunk of the Treasury to their rich pals.

So now the time comes that we need to pay the country's bills incurred in the last several years and now coming due. But we're a little short on cash since we gave rich people more money, so now it's time for disabled and retired citizens to pungle up, and single mothers living close to the bone have to forego SNAP benefits. Because Kevin McCarthy couldn't possibly ask
mega billionaires to pay more.

The middle class should no longer carry the majority of the tax burden and the tax breaks for the rich. Let them pay their fair share for a change.

Now, McCarthy is trying to shift blame to DEMOCRATS.

We know who’s FAULT this.

Appreciate comments made by @StateDept on #Taiwan being “a vital partner, a democratic success story & a force for good in the world.” We look fwd to continued work with US government to further Taiwan-US relations

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

A report released this week says there has been no progress for Black Americans on homeownership, unemployment, and incarceration in 50 years. This is a stark reminder that racial inequality is real in America. Until we confront that truth, we will not be able to make progress.
