If trickle-down economics worked at all, the world gaining 400 billionaires last year would have set off an economic boom, given everyone raises, and lowered our prices.
But it didn't.
Because trickle-down economics is a scam designed to make the rich richer off the rest of us.
Trump is going to ask Congress for billions of dollars in additional funding for the Iran war. Democrats must vote no and should see this as a political liability for Republicans. This is not the Iraq war funding debates from 2004-2007. Voters do NOT want to pay for more wars.
Romance alert: Trump's reckless tariffs have Valentine’s Day costs up across the board:
Roses 🌹16.6%
Chocolates🍫 18.7%
Ribeye 🥩 25.4%
Restaurant meals 🍽️ 4.9%
@kuruscam@kylegriffin1 Ok 5 year old, obviously they don’t have your party affiliation and voting history. Which they want to suppress the voting rights of Sane People who don’t vote GOP. So they can target areas for harassment etc.
Men brought guns inside the Michigan statehouse to protest pandemic lockdowns (but really to frighten and intimidate lawmakers) and no one shot them. They weren’t even arrested.
No one should vote for this
It’s true that voting no won’t stop ICE - they already have the funding they need and even a shutdown won’t stop them - but the strategy now should be mass resistance to state violence and repression at every level.
Dear UK: why are you letting this powerless messenger boy @SpeakerJohnson address parliament? I realize your standards have dropped, but this guy? This Trump slave? While Trump threatens you with military conflict? Still time to disinvite him.
Sec. Noem said two things of note: that this was an act of domestic terrorism, and that we need to work together to remove these criminals from our streets
ICE and its allied militia are the criminals, and they committed the act of terrorism
This is Attorney General Pam Bondi’s ethics pledge.
She was a lobbyist for Ballard—the same firm hired to lobby for both Paramount AND Netflix.
But Trump’s Justice Department said Bondi will oversee the Warner Bros. merger.
It reeks of corruption.
Bondi must recuse herself.
