Imagine being so far gone into Trumpism/Republicanism that you would say this to someone who was shot in the head in an act of political violence.

The reason the top 10% of income earners pay more than half of all tax revenue is NOT because they are taxed more than ever.
Their tax rate has been cut FIVE times in the last 25 years.
They are paying more because their INCOME has increased astronomically, where the income of the bottom half has

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

The GOP doesn't want less spending—they want a smaller pool of RECIPIENTS.
Their goal is to allocate our taxes to the fewest Americans possible & it’s those leeches that are hoarding the benefits of taxation.
Subsidizing their greed instead of using taxes on programs that benefit We, The People. 🧵

FYI we are all currently paying Lindsey Graham’s health insurance premium.
At least they FINALLY admitted why they refused to negotiate on the shutdown. First they lied and promised Dems they would “negotiate” this, but only AFTER they voted for the CR. But Dems were correct when they assessed that Republicans NEVER intended to extend these subsidies.

I need you to promise me something. No matter what I say next, you are respectful and kind and come at this from a place of support rather than anger. Deal?
I have it on good authority that several Dem Senators are considering supporting the CR with a promise to discuss healthcare later.

Part of a short thread, but this and his statements about trans people make it clear he is not the future.
I love Newsom’s Anti-Trump trolling - it’s genius. But him as a Presidential Candidate is SERIOUSLY problematic and we need to derail THAT nonsense before it really gets going.

Newsom's policies on the unhoused are draconian as fuck. I keep bringing it up, but he made a whole ass vid of himself trashing unhoused belongings as a publicity stunt. Like it was some heroic act and not incredibly fucked up and dehumanizing. And he criminalized being unhoused.

Since we have the time, people should really inform themselves about Newsom's specifically loathsome policies/statements against three extremely vulnerable and marginalized groups: the disabled, the unhoused, and trans people.
I hate the idea of Gavin Newsome being president. The goal should not be Democrat Trump. The man is ableist and all kinds of problematic. The way so many people support him is distressing. If he gets in office, I fear for the lives of disabled people in America just as much as I fear for them now.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

Well, an acquaintance who relies on the ACA marketplace for insurance just received a notice explaining that their fee for coverage will be rising. Right now they pay $180 a month. The new price?
$2733.15 a month.

The Pirates and the Orioles made the World Series? In the SAME YEAR?!
Happy Monday, the 32nd "Sports Equinox" (MLB, NFL, NBA and NHL in action on same day). The first Sports Equinox took place Sunday, Oct. 17, 1971. Roberto Clemente's Pirates beat the Orioles in Game 7 of the World Series the same day that featured 12 NFL games, six NHL games and three NBA games.
