Here’s how tariffs work. Your costs go up, and that money gets transferred to the wealthy.

Whether you’re progressive, liberal, leftist, libertarian, communist, socialist, moderate, democrat, conservative, Christian, atheist, Gen Z, Boomer… we have the same enemy. It’s the oligarchs.

Some families in America are on track to pay over $22,000 more per YEAR for their health insurance.

Where are their Republican senators?

Three panels of Senator Elizabeth Warren saying:

Thanks to Republicans in Congress, a 60-year-old couple making $85k/year will have to pay over $22,000 more EVERY YEAR to keep their coverage.

TWENTY TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS.

For families already hanging on by their fingernails, that could be a matter of life and death.

This hybrid rose combines terracotta and rust for a deep, energizing earth tones. This variety is particularly revered by flower designers for its color and bloom. From the garden of Olena Sumina in Ukraine.

The 'surprise' is either no elections or impossibly rigged elections. Being an entire year away, I am sure we will see the Insurrection Act invoked long before then and possibly Martial Law. Trump will never let Dems take control of congress.

That was one busy-as-hell Monday (so about the usual). But all is done now and I can relax like my fuchsias. 🌱

Purple and white fuchsias flowers. They look a bit like little fairies.

"No Kings is happening, and this is how Republicans are talking about it.

Accusations like 'terrorist wing,' 'pro-Hamas,' and 'Antifa' aren’t just insults. They’re phrases that unlock, in the view of the administration, a permission structure for state violence."

The groundwork has been laid to go after innocent people, opposition groups, and even No Kings protesters.

I read the article. I NEVER want to see MTG on the Dem side. Also, there were posted responses of how she made sense "for 2 weeks". DON'T BE FOOLED. Words are cheap and R's have been spewing bs on a daily basis on any number of things. She is not to be trusted anymore than the rest of them.
