So Kat Cammack got an abortion she needed to save her life, but she and other Republicans want to take abortion away from everyone else? It's only fine when they do it? Hypocrites.

🔸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.

💯 @RepJohnLarson nails it: Social Security helps not only Americans retire with dignity, but communities prosper. If we can protect and enhance Social Security, EVERYONE benefits.

[Rep. Joe Courtney @RepJoeCourtney]

Mike Johnson calls Social Security an “entitlement” and says he has a plan for it to be “adjusted and fixed.”

Social Security is an earned benefit – not an entitlement – and as we’ve warned repeatedly, it’s about to hit a cliff, now in 2032. In Connecticut, that would mean an average loss of $556/month in benefits. 

The way to prevent this is by making the rich pay their fair share in payroll tax – the same as middle and working-class Americans.

“They” didn’t leak Trump’s tax returns. An IRS contractor did - along with thousands of other tax returns - during Trump’s first term.

Biden’s DOJ prosecuted the contractor, who got the max: 5 years in prison.

This is shameful spin from SDNY U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton.

$30 million dropped on one dude’s head in a primary because he dared to expose rich pedos. Absolute nasty work.

🚨 Axios just published classified intelligence that the Trump administration says shows Cuba is planning drone attacks on Guantanamo Bay, US warships, and Key West.

I'm calling FALSE FLAG.

The source is one anonymous senior US official. Reuters could not independently verify the report.

Axios’s own framing — in the article itself — states: “The intelligence could become a pretext for U.S. military action.”

This is the second time this year a US administration has had classified intelligence leaked about a Caribbean adversary “planning attacks” on US targets during a period of US military buildup in the region.

Real Iraq War vibes here. Classified intelligence shared with reporters to sell a war to a skeptical public
