Bill Barr on Trump: โHe failed. He didnโt do what the country hoped - that he would rise to the occasion and rise to the office, and he didnโt do that. Heโs had his chance. He obviously doesnโt have the qualities necessary. He should stand aside.โ
Teachers can only write off $300 on their taxes for classroom expenses
Meanwhile, Trump wrote off his $130,000 hush money payment to Stormy Daniels as a โbusiness expenseโ
LYING about the payment is why heโs going to prison
Not because Manhattan DA Bragg is leftist. Got it?!

House Republicans chose to start their term attempting to cut taxes for billionaires, raise taxes on working families, and make inflation worse.
All the challenges we face, and that's their pick.
So under the proposed Fairness tax act $300 worth of groceries will cost you $390 just so billionaires donโt have to pay taxes on income. Yeah that seems fair.
Billionaires don't wake up at 5am. Bus drivers, teachers, nurses, service workers, etc wake up at 5am. Billionaires wake up whenever they want because their wealth doesn't come from their own labor. It comes from the labor of people who will never be billionaires.

Holy shit. Top Republican Rick Allen (R-GA) was just recorded saying his party is going after Social Security because people โwant to work longer.โ (h/t @SSWorks)
Republicans are lying about Democrats coming for your gas stoves to cover up the fact that they are coming for your Social Security. That you paid for. Itโs that stupid.
Nearly 2 years to the day the US Capitol was attacked by fascists, we see fascist movements abroad attempt to do the same in Brazil.
We must stand in solidarity with @LulaOficialโs democratically elected government. ๐ง๐ท
The US must cease granting refuge to Bolsonaro in Florida.
