Rep. @AOC: On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you about the scam, a little bit of the fine print there. The cap on that is $25,000, while jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 while taking away their SNAP, Medicaid, and kicking them off of the ACA. If you're at home and you're living off tips, you do the math. Is that worth it to you? Losing all your health care, not able to feed your babies in exchange for what? This bill is a deal with the devil
I don't give a fuck how popular war with Iran is. Murdering innocent people doesn't suddenly become justified if war propagandists brainwash dumbfuck Americans into thinking it's necessary.
Yeah - so RFK Jr's literal sister (Rosemary Kennedy) was forcefully lobotomized. She very well could have had autism before they scrambled her brain with a fork.
This is not a joke. Mental health is not a joke. And not all mental health problems can be fixed with vegetables and sunlight. (Or a lobotomy.) This heroin addict, with his own self admitted brain worm, should be nowhere near the healthcare system.
SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You do NOT have to speak to ICE without a JUDICIAL warrant. (1/3)
This may be the most important post you read today.
As Trump takes office & pledges mass deportations, below is a shareable film series written *by immigrants for immigrants* on how to safely defend against ICE.

My hope is that the war in Gaza will now end, and the hostages will finally return to their families.
But let's be clear: the US enabled this mass atrocity by providing an endless supply of weapons to Netanyahu and failing to exert real leverage.
This must not happen again.
It’s cowardly that after representing the oligarchs for 50 years in office, he calls out this threat to our nation with just days left in his presidency.
Meanwhile, the Democratic Party has consistently allowed corporate and dark money to go after candidates and elected officials who stand up to these oligarchs.
He enabled, benefited from, and emboldened the system that threatens us all, while he will ride off into the sunset and won't feel the harms of what's been built.
Our communities will, though.
Those who stood up and tried to fight back were met with opposition from the party and even him specifically.
President Biden could have and should have made this the foundation of his presidency.
Instead, he chose to support dark money candidates and bend to the will of those forces.
Now our communities have to deal with the consequences of those decisions.

At a time of massive income inequality, Trump wants more tax breaks for billionaires.
He wants to pay for those tax cuts by throwing millions off of Medicaid.
Unacceptable. We must fight back.
Health care is a human right.
Billionaires must pay their fair share in taxes.
80,000 people told to evacuate.
Blazes 0% contained.
Eight months since the area has seen rain.
The scale of damage and loss is unimaginable.
Climate change is real, not “a hoax.”
Donald Trump must treat this like the existential crisis it is.
Is a generation “not growing up?” Or are Americans being denied economic mobility?
When wages are low and rent is high, people have student loans and the cost of childcare is unaffordable, this will create a problem.
