I don't pay my taxes so other people get bombs and tanks. I pay my taxes so all our kids get good schools and health care.

Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All.

Looking forward to voting for him.
I'll tell you this. If we want nice things, we can have them. But we will not get them from the corporations who wrote the rules to rig the system against us. We will not get them by voting for corporate-backed politicians.

Democrats need to not only be thinking about winning elections during the midterms.

They also need to be thinking about what they are going to do when they win and Republicans just don't give up their seats.

That's quite a yearly raise.
Good morning!

Since Trump was re-elected, Forbes estimates—

💰His net worth is up $2 billion, to $6.3 billion

💰Eric’s is up 10x, to $400 million

💰Don Jr.’s is up 6x, to $300 million

💰20-year-old Barron is worth $150 million

And Jared became a billionaire last year.

Have a great day!

In totally unrelated news, I've heard that high blood pressure can cause a person to throw a blood clot. 🤷

Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

The killings will continue until you give us the state voter rolls
Fox News: "I've gotten my hands that AG Bondi said she sent to Gov. Tim Walz. It is strongly worded. The AG calls for the governor to support the men and women of ICE, to repeal the state's sanctuary policies, and to allow the DOJ to access state voter rolls."

Pieced together the surveillance video, including the new angle dropped by CNN (added slow-motion), and the condition of the officer after Renee Good was shot. What do you observe?

Vehicles were able to drive around her with plenty of clearance.

So when authorities say “she tried to run over an officer,” that is not a neutral description. It is a claim of intent that can be used to justify lethal force after the fact.

When the state kills first and invents the threat afterward, it is not policing, it is death squad behavior. /end

It was never about drugs.
Reporter: Did you speak with the oil companies before the operation? Did you tip them off?

Trump: Before and after. They want to go in and they’re going to do a great job.
