Me: Tax the rich
Q: But what about all the waste, fraud and abuse?
Me: investigate and prosecute waste, fraud and abuse AND tax the rich.
Q: But the rich create jobs
Me: Great. So they can enjoy the profits created from that labor AND pay taxes on that profit.
Q: It will just make them leave America.
Me: There is no tax haven in the world like the American tax haven. No they won’t.
Q: Our national debt is because spending is out of control!
Me: It is, but that is also something that rich people have trained you to say so that you’ll argue that they shouldn’t be taxed. Create Medicare for all ($600 billion in savings), cut the military budget in half ($500 billion). There’s a trillion right there. AND tax the rich.
Q: ….
Me: Exactly. Tax the rich.
Your friendly reminder from Kevin Walling that every Democrat in the House voted for National Voter ID included in the Freedom to Vote Act. Not one Republican voted for it. The SAVE Act isn’t about Voter ID, it’s a voter suppression bill to help rig the midterms for Republicans.
Crazy to me that 41% of the country can trust Republicans on the economy after every Republican president for the last 50 years has ushered in a recession
AIPAC is spending millions in Democratic primaries to smear critics of Netanyahu’s genocidal policies.
It’s time to kick AIPAC and other billionaire-funded super PACs out of Democratic primaries.
What the fuck are you waiting for #Republicans?
#DONALDTRUMP RAPED CHILDREN.
HE IS SETTING THE WORLD ON FIRE?
WHY ARE YOU ALL BEING SUCH PATHETIC PUSSIES???
The US government ERASED its own hunger report.
Not because hunger is falling.
Because it's surging.
Here's what they don't want you to see.
Grocery prices in America are up 30% since January 2020.
Beef and veal, up 59%,
Coffee: up 50%.
Eggs: up 36%.
Chicken: up 33%.
Bread: up 33%.
These aren't even luxury items, these are the basics.
But here's the part nobody's talking about.
Overall inflation peaked in June 2022 and it came down.
Food prices didn't.
They just stayed up there. Locked in and permanent.
That's not inflation anymore.
The old prices are never coming back.
The average American family now spends $270 a week on groceries.
In 2020 it was $120.
That's $1,080 a month just to eat at home.
Restaurant prices? Even worse.
Up 35% since the pandemic.
Waffle House nearly doubled its menu.
Independent restaurants are closing in waves.
Now look at who's getting crushed.
47.9 million Americans are food insecure.
1 in 7 households can't reliably put food on the table.
The highest rate in nearly a decade.
14.1 million children live in homes that don't have enough food.
That number went up last year, not down
Food banks are seeing 30 to 50 percent surges in demand.
One in West Virginia reported an 1,800% increase in families showing up.
Lines not seen since the worst of COVID.
And here's where it gets darker.
Congress just cut $186 billion from SNAP, food stamps.
2.4 million people are projected to lose benefits.
Average monthly assistance drops by $100 per household.
Then the USDA quietly announced it would stop publishing its annual hunger report.
The one tool the government had to track how many Americans can't afford to eat.
They're not solving the crisis.
They're hiding the scoreboard.
Meanwhile, beef prices are forecast to rise another 5.5% this year.
The US cattle herd is at a 64 year low.
Coffee futures have exploded 300% since 2020.
Tariffs could add another 2-3% to grocery bills.
This is the biggest affordability crisis in a generation.
It's on every receipt, at every checkout line, in every kitchen in America and it's accelerating.

Because the people in charge are hoping you stop paying attention.
Corporate super PACs are trying to buy the 2026 elections.
AIPAC: $96 million
AI: $150 million
Crypto: $193 million
This is not democracy. It’s oligarchy. We must end Citizens United and establish public financing of elections.
It’s important that you understand what happened last night.
Last night, Stephen Colbert interviewed Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, a candidate who, by all accounts, is on track in the polls to flip Texas blue.
In response, Trump’s FCC reportedly threatened CBS if the interview aired.
CBS caved and pulled the segment, citing “financial reasons.”
In modern American history, no president has been more hostile to free speech than Donald Trump.
But censorship always backfires.
Here’s the full segment Trump didn’t want you to see.

Arrest him, charge him with perjury and obstruction.
Ok
Drake Maye leads the league in first downs or touchdowns under pressure
He’s the #1 rated player under pressure, against the blitz, on deep balls, throwing outside the numbers, and plenty more
In addition, EPA accounts for some of those variables. QBERT accounts for plenty of them too , which Maye leads as well
CPOE is a great stat. It’s straight forward.. are you making the throws you should? And are you making the throws you shouldn’t? Maye’s CPOE is the highest among all MVP’s on that list by a lot
It’s why Diggs, Boutte, and Hollins all saw their catch% go up by 8-13%. Massive jumps, including Diggs being #1 in the NFL in catch% this season despite his career average being 13% lower.
It’s why Hunter Henry had the most yards of his career at 31 years old. It’s why despite their “WR1” Diggs only playing 55% of snaps, he still broke 1k yards. It’s why Stafford voters said Hollins is “hitting his peak” as a way to make it seem like Maye’s weapons are good… Hollins is 32 years old btw
Not only was Maye great this year, but he had one of the most efficient and consistent seasons in history.
