Jesus. FTC finds companies are exploiting your data – browsing history, location, buying patterns, even “mouse movements on a webpage” – to gouge you with higher prices shown specifically to you. Just shocking.

Once again, we are telling a story leaving out the true democracy-destroying villain.🧵

One good man’s age was a sideshow to the real story. Yes, the President’s age was a factor, and his spectacular debate failure, and his soft promise to serve one term.

The ERA has actually BEEN an amendment for 5 years.

There are only 2 requirements of Article V to become an amendment:

1) Pass by 2/3rds in each house of Congress. March 22, 1972 ✅

2) Ratified by 3/4ths of states (38). Jan 27th, 2020 in VA ✅

I’m seeing a lot of confusion about the Equal Rights Amendment online.

I've been working on the ERA for 13 years & literally wrote a book about it.

So, let me help answer some questions.

1) Yes, it really is a real amendment & fully part of the U.S. Constitution. Full stop.

In a new memo obtained by NBC News, Senate Finance Democratic tax staff found that Trump treasury pick Scott Bessent avoided over $950,000 of self-employment taxes.

In a review of Bessent’s tax returns from 2021, 2022, and 2023 and his financial disclosure form, the Committee found that Bessent avoided paying $950,182 of SECA taxes and SALT taxes. https://t.co/D4XItrtO82

With Trump’s second inauguration, the transformation from plutocracy to oligarchy is complete. Oligarchs derive their power from proximity to the head of state, and we can observe how essential it is for the oligarchs to seek that proximity.

Don’t be surprised if they are released just after Trump is sworn in on January 20. That was Trump will get credit- not Biden.

President Biden warns of a 'tech-industrial complex':

"Americans are being buried under an avalanche of misinformation and disinformation, enabling the abuse of power. The free press is crumbling. Editors are disappearing. Social media is giving up on fact checking. The truth is smothered by lies told for power and for profit. We must hold the social platforms accountable."

Extending Trump's tax plan would overwhelmingly benefit the wealthy. The top 0.1% would get average tax breaks of around $314,000. And you know how Republicans in Congress are talking about paying for this? By cutting health care services like Medicaid.
