We, the United States, should be standing here in solidarity with our allies in support of Ukraine. Instead our “president”, who is a treasonous puppet of Russia, has us backing the aggressor. We are on the wrong side of history. 💔🥺

There are GOP politicians who are not pedophiles or personally massively corrupt, but all of them are in submissive thrall to a president who *is* a corrupt pedophile, and who has, by virtue of his position, made the party into his own image. It now protects and valorizes immorality and corruption.
Just a question from across the pond but does holding office as a Republican mean that you must be a paedophile, massively corrupt or both?

Unless you return the House and Senate to Democrats on Nov. 3rd, every dreadful thing that Trump’s doing will continue.
If you ever cared about America— even the tiniest bit— don’t re-elect the very people Trump needs to finish destroying our democracy.

In March, Washington State passed a tax on millionaires to fund public education, childcare, and expand its earned income tax credit.
Now, special interest groups backed by the rich are trying to trick voters into repealing the tax by claiming it will apply to non-millionaires.
Don't fall for it.

Washington Taxed Its Millionaires. Now the Rich Want It Repealed.
Washington State voters will get a chance to accept or reject the 9.9 percent income tax on millionaires approved by the Legislature, which broke the state’s taboo against levying income taxes.

Some congressional Democrats (or their staffers, I guess) follow me on here, so let me speak directly to them:
The media isn't going to do this on their own. But if you make it an issue, they might just be shamed into forcing your GOP opponents into discussing the fat racist elephant in the room.

In the past, the rich used to pay higher taxes.
Now, the government pays the rich interest on a swelling debt, caused largely by lower taxes on the rich.
It's a big switcheroo that we need to talk about if we're going to talk about the national debt.
