A Daily Reminder: If Bernie's Social Security bill was enacted in 2021, Elon Musk would've paid $2.9 billion more in taxes, Social Security would be solvent for 75 years, benefits would be expanded by $2,400 and 91% of Americans would pay $0 more in taxes.

Scrap the damn cap.

The richest 3 people have more money than the poorest 4 billion.

But the problem (according to those richest people) is the poor people.

They’re called “data centers” because calling them mass surveillance centers would cause a national uprising

It took Congress 5 months to agree to $600 stimulus checks for Americans, and 8 hours to send $13.6 billion to another country and give themselves a 21% pay raise.

BRUTAL chart for Trump -- via AAA

[Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan]

Gas prices are the highest they’ve been in years, rising over 21% in the last month.

Another shameless lie to the American people.

What a steal! @elonmusk

[Sarah Larchmont @SarahLarchmont]

Let me get this straight. Musk was paid $5 billion through the DOGE endeavor and the only thing DOGE did was dismantle the entities that were investigating him for fraud. Wow

[Sean J. @spinnow]

You paid more taxes than at least 88 major U.S. corps last year including:
Tesla
Citigroup
Walt Disney
CVS Health
Yum! Brands (KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell)
PayPal
LiveNation
Southwest & United Airlines

Paid $0 federal income tax on >$1 billion in profit. Sucking the public dry.

So when is the revolt?

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

It’s been 297 weeks since Donald Trump said he’d release his healthcare plan in “two weeks,” just in case you were wondering how long “two to three weeks” is in Trump time.

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

It's been 437 days since Trump was going to lower grocery prices on day one.

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

Meanwhile, U.S. billionaires increased their wealth by $1.5 trillion over the last year under Trump, and Trump doubled his net worth.

This is by design.

FIVE YEARS OF GROCERY RECEIPTS JUST EXPOSED THE MOST PROTECTED LIE IN ECONOMICS.

Since 2019, the government says cumulative inflation is about 25%.

Here is what actually happened to the things you buy every single week:

Eggs: +79%
Ground beef: +77%
Coffee: +68%
Car insurance: +55%
Electricity: +43%
Bacon: +26%
Bread: +24%

Five out of seven of those are running 2x to 3x faster than the official number. And the only two that tracked near CPI? Bacon and bread. The lowest-cost, lowest-margin items in the basket.

The things that actually drain a household budget, the protein, the energy, the insurance you are legally required to carry, those are the ones the official number keeps understating.

The CPI was retooled in the 1990s to reduce reported inflation. They added substitution adjustments. They changed how they weight housing. They smoothed out the things that spike. This is documented BLS methodology, not conspiracy.

Food overall is up 30% since end of 2019. Car insurance premiums up 54% since 2020. Electricity just hit all-time record prices. But the official line is 2.4% annual inflation and the Fed debates rate cuts.

Your grocery receipt is the only honest inflation report left.

Under Bernie’s 5% billionaire wealth tax, Jamie Dimon would owe $135 million in taxes, he’d still have $2.57 billion in wealth & every senior would get dental, vision & hearing benefits. Seems pretty fair for the CEO of a bank fined $27B for fraud & $290M for the Epstein scandal.

Always an excuse from Doc. No accountability. Never about the lack of coaching. The disrespect for his own players. We sucked when fully healthy and had a great roster. Please return to broadcasting. #freethedeer

[Underdog NBA @UnderdogNBA]

Doc Rivers on Bucks being eliminated from playoff contention:

"It's been disappointing, obviously. Since I've been here, I haven't had a healthy stretch and it's been your key guys. It's been Giannis. It's been Dame ... This year, having only one quote-unquote star, every other team has two and three. We needed health. We were thin ... All the talk and all that stuff probably didn't help either."

[Middle Age Riot @middleageriot]

UNFUN FACT: Even if the Treasury Department printed Donald Trump's name on every bill for the next three years it wouldn't be as many times as it appears in the Epstein files.

[a ball knower among ball knowers @juegosnoguey]

not sure there is a greater indication of where the future is headed than China devoting its entire industrial capacity to mass producing solar panels and cheap electric cars while America destroys all its wind farms due to the personal whims of one retard during an oil crisis

[Warren Gunnels @GunnelsWarren]

Myth: If we tax billionaires they won't create jobs.

Fact: Last year, billionaires got the largest tax break in history. Now, they are literally planning to replace every worker in America with a robot or AI.

Trickle down economics is a scam. Tax billionaires out of existence.
