LEFT: Donald Trump today, dozing off as the names of those who died on 9/11 are read.

RIGHT: Joe Biden today, paying respects to those lost on 9/11.

We are projected to spend $268 BILLION on deportations — costing the average American taxpayer about $2,358 (according to @epi.org).

But somehow we “can’t afford” to make sure hungry children can eat or ensure everyone, no matter their income, can access healthcare.

Priorities.

So ICE removed all Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's personal effects--wallet, phone, etc--after shooting him before they put him in an ambulance. Is that normal law enforcement practice? Or does it suggest a coverup or attempt to manage information was underway from the beginning?
Juan Proaño on the killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo:
The family is demanding the release of Lorenzo’s body. It has been complicated because they removed all of his personal identifying information before they put him in the ambulance. That required the hospital to admit him as a John Doe.

Nehls on how House GOP will make case for affordability back home:

Reporter: Do you think the 60% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck can afford that?

Nehls: Maybe not. Maybe they don't work as hard as me.

"CENTRISTS UNITE!"

It's 15 people. 5 of whom aren't even elected yet. All of them in districts trump won. Don't let corporate media - especially media owned by Bezos - convince you the party is somehow fractured by throngs of centrists pushing back. It's not. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Elon Musk spent $290 million getting Trump elected.

During this midterm cycle, he's spent $85 million.

In total, that’s 0.0375% of his $1 trillion net worth.

Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so.

We must get Big Money out of politics.

Do we really have a constitutional republic, with elected representatives making decisions on tax and spend issues, when an imperial president can just take our money and buy an airline? We don’t have a govt functioning with the consent of the governed - we have one man run amok.

The second and fourth richest men control Google.

The third richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

Trump's latest budget is the culmination of 40 years of increasing social control in America.

Remember that over half of defense spending flows to private contractors, like the drone manufacturers Trump's sons are now major investors in.

All of this is absurd.
