@BillKristol@TheDemocrats Voters want universal healthcare, affordable childcare and not following lobbyists bull. Stop saying you can't tax wealth bc it's unrealized, I pay taxes on the value of my house that is unrealized. Tax the rich, invest in the people. 2/2
@BillKristol@TheDemocrats need to understand that being centrist is not what the voters want. They are deeply unpopular and voters are frustrated with the same old. DS in nordic countries works, they are the top happiest countries in the world consistently. 1/
@MattBizzee@RBReich Once more for the slow student in the back of the class: billionaires do nothing for the economy and no matter how much you simp, you will not get crumbs off their table.
@MattBizzee@RBReich Increasing shareholder value does 0 for payroll taxes. I have an MBA, I know how economics works. Btw, share buybacks also do nothing for the economy. Just say you understand nothing and be done with it.
@RockChartrand@RBReich Keep licking the boots and think that that money will trickle down. Let me know when you realize that the trickle down is the rich pissing on you.
@RBReich Wealth tax the rich, they don't improve anything or anyone. And for those who say we can't tax unrealized gains, have you heard of property taxes? Cause I pay for the value of my car and house just fine.
Good morning and Happy Wednesday to everyone who agrees that the audio of Speaker Johnson ADMITTING that he's planning on cutting Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security SHOULD BE A HUGE STORY.
Don't let him slide on this.
FACT: Trump cut funding to stop the spread of screwworms. Then he signed an executive order allowing 100,000 metric tons of beef from Argentina into the U.S. per year. America eradicated screwworms in 1966, while Argentina has been struggling with them for well over a century.
@SenWarren The fact that RFK jr feels that some people are not entitled to health care coverage is another example of what a soulless ghoul he is. Healthcare should never be a privilege nor for profit.
Adam Hoffman raped his son’s best friend for 3 years
First-degree felony. Life without parole.
Ken Paxton’s office gutted it to 60 days. He walked free after 30.
No sex offender registration. His record scrubbed clean.
Texas protects predators with power!
So apparently Viktor Orbán has been bankrolling CPAC for years with taxpayer money, and the new Hungarian prime minister is planning to pull all their funding. What do you bet Russia was funneling money to conservatives via the Orbán regime? Massive scandal, IMHO.
When Obama’s JPCOA was in force, Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium was reduced by 98 percent, the Strait of Homuz was open and there were no significant attacks on vessels transiting the passage.
APPLEBAUM: Orbán's campaign isn't even about Hungary. It's about creating evil enemy that Hungarians should fear. Believe it or not, that enemy is Ukraine. There are big posters of Zelenskyy all over Budapest — not Orbán.
MILLER: Honoring him as freedom fighter?
APPLEBAUM: No! Posters say "Don't let Zelenskyy get the last laugh," as if Zelenskyy and Ukrainians are a threat to Hungary — that they might invade, sabotage, or cause violence inside the country.
If you step back for like 5 seconds, you realize how insane that is. Ukrainians are fighting Russians. Why would they invade Hungary?
Orbán has run out of enemies, so he's creating new threat literally from scratch. It's completely post-reality campaign that creates absolutely fake world for people to live in.
