Just a 2-cent wealth tax on the ultra-wealthy could:
Lift millions of kids out of poverty
Fund universal child care
Make community college free
And we would still have money left over.
JUST IN: A federal judge put Trump's $1.7 billion slush fund on notice.
Judge Richard Leon pressed DOJ lawyers to put in writing that the fund isn't moving forward. When asked why they wouldn't, the DOJ's answer was: "I don't know."
The fund survived today's hearing, but the judge delivered a pointed warning to the DOJ: if the administration is telling the court the fund is not moving forward, then it better not move forward.

Republicans will spend billions on Trump's Iran war and billions more for insurrectionists, then cut benefits for veterans. Liz, an Iraq War Vet, is putting Republicans on notice: "We are watching. We will hold you accountable."
The hard times we’re experiencing were completely avoidable. Trump’s tariffs and unprovoked aggression with Iran caused prices to skyrocket. His Republican minions have stood by without complaint or thought for their constituents.
Remember all of this when you vote in November.
New US strikes on Iran.
Reportedly Iran has already started firing back, too.
If this turns into all-out war again, I fear that we’re going to find out that Iran is better prepared this time. I hope I’m wrong.
MAGA JAMES DOLAN continues President Buzzkill’s devastating deflation of Knick’s excitement by canceling tonight’s MSG watch party.
Why? Because fans HATE Trump and Dolan wants favors.

Trump plays tough guy & says Bibi has to listen to him.
Bibi doesn’t listen.
American chopper down.
Iran doesn’t take credit for it.
More disturbing information from Epstein files.
America starts bombing Iran again.
Notice a trend?
No, high inflation is bad. It is supposed to be under 2%.
But high inflation from 2020-2022 was caused by the pandemic and affected both the Trump 45 and Biden Administrations.
Then Biden brought inflation down under 3% for the second half of his Administration.
Trump inherited 2.9%. Then we got tariffs and war to drive inflation back up to 4.2%.
That is going in the wrong direction. Trump said he would lower prices, but then chose policies that drove prices higher.

Jessica: Susan Collins loves to say I'm pro-choice. We have 13 states alone that have trigger laws where if you are six weeks pregnant you can't get access to reproductive healthcare. That is something that mortally offends Susan Collins but yet she votes for Republican nominees to the court.
A 12-year-old girl walked into a police station carrying a letter about her “friend” being ra4ed by her father and grandfather.
The friend was her.
They had been ra*ing her since she was 10. When they started targeting her younger sister, she finally found the courage to speak.
She admitted she stayed silent for years because she was afraid her mother wouldn't believe her.
Then came the most disturbing part.
The mother wasn't devastated that her daughters had been violated.
She was devastated that her husband was in jail.
No income. No provider. No paycheck.
Some parents don't protect children.
They protect the people who hurt them.
And before anyone asks why so many victims stay silent, remember this story. For countless children, the biggest fear isn't the abuser.
It's the parent who already knows the truth and decides the family budget matters more than the child.
The most dangerous place for a child isn't always a stranger's house.
Sometimes it's their own home.
