Karoline Leavitt went to an expensive private high school, then worked in the White House immediately out of college, then married a billionaire her daddy's age. What kind of spoon is that?

Teoscar Hernandez GRAND SLAM for the lead, complete with Joe Davis foreshadowing.

Fun fact: The two U.S. goals in yesterday’s World Cup win were made possible by birthright citizenship and immigration.

Theodore Roosevelt said the national parks were the greatest gift this country ever gave itself, and the greatest idea we ever gave the world.

More than 100 nations copied it.

Donald Trump looks at that gift and sees a piggy bank for his own pet projects.

This week we learned where our national park money has been going. Not to Yellowstone. Not to Yosemite. To the walkway outside his office, where Trump ripped out American flagstone and laid down Italian granite at a cost of $689,000 to taxpayers. He said he paid for it himself.

That was a lie.

To cover his vanity projects, they are robbing the parks. Spending on parks outside Washington is down $854 million. More than 900 projects went unfunded. They even pulled money from a guardrail on a Colorado cliff that the Park Service flagged as a safety hazard.

I serve on Appropriations.

The power to spend belongs to Congress, not to a king redecorating his palace. These parks are not Trump’s to loot.

They belong to all of us, and I will fight for every dollar.

Japan is increasing the cost of visiting the country with a tourist visa for the first time in 48 years

The price is increasing by 400% to 15,000 yen ($93) for a single-entry visa

It’s absurd that tech companies are allowed to pass off their electricity costs to residential consumers, and spike everyone’s utility bills.

Nobody screams “socialism” when large corporations socialize their costs and then privatize their profits.

JUST IN🚨: Earth is splitting open beneath the Pacific Northwest, scientists say.

Scientists have, for the first time, clearly captured a subduction zone in the act of breaking apart.

Actually, requiring Doctor’s notes to excuse sick days is inherently classist in a country without universal healthcare, and it is wild how little that is discussed.

The Earth just experienced FOUR significant earthquakes in a single day.

First, it was a Magnitude 5.6 in California’s Redwood Valley.

Then, 7 hours later, a devastating “double” quake inflicted massive destruction in northern Venezuela. The first one at Magnitude 7.2, followed by an even larger Magnitude 7.5 only 39 SECONDS later.

Finally, a mere 25 minutes after the Venezuela twins, a Magnitude 6.9 marine earthquake struck offshore of Kuji, Japan.

Very rare to see this much seismic activity across the globe in such a short period of time.

They are so afraid of you realizing there are politicians who can and actually want to make your life better and not just collect checks from lobbyists and corporations.

“Kids these days don’t know any practical skills.”

Somebody from the generation that decided to remove woodshop, auto shop, home economics, and personal finance from public school curriculums in exchange for more practical tests.

[middleclassparty @middle_class_us]

Politicians know Americans cannot afford rent.

They know people are drowning in medical debt.

They know families are working multiple jobs just to survive.

They know food banks are at record demand.

They know wages have not kept up with anything.

They know all of it.

And as long as stock portfolios go up and campaign donations keep coming in.

They DON'T care.

This is not incompetence.

This is the system working exactly as designed.

For exactly who it was designed for.

The wealthy elite will fight tooth and nail against free college for two reasons:

1. it will be harder to fill the ranks of the military with poor people if college is free.

2. starting off workers with enormous debt is the greatest innovation that capitalism ever came up with

I’ll NEVER understand how so many of y’all were hoodwinked into the belief that the government should NOT use the money you pay in taxes to create a social safety net that benefits you, fund public healthcare, lower housing costs, and make daily life more affordable.
