Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

Chelyabinsk, the seventh largest city in Russia, just got its first ever air raid alert for Ukrainian drones. It’s 1800km from the border.

I'll be among those calling for fast moving investigations and prosecution once we get our democracy back. It's the only way to reestablish the rule of law.

Jeffries: "I remind all of these corrupt individuals, these sycophants -- the statute of limitations is five years. The American people want accountability, deserve accountability, and will get accountability."

Wow. Trump's masked federal agents tear-gassed a crowd in Chicago and ended up gassing a bunch of local Chicago cops who were there to *deescalate tensions.* One local cop was captured on film washing out his eyes with a hose:

New York health officials have confirmed the first locally transmitted case of the chikungunya virus which causes high fever, joint pain and fatigue.

It’s usually a tropical virus, but there are now infected mosquitoes spreading in New York. (NYT)

OBAMA: “What if I sent the National Guard into Texas and said I don’t care what Governor Abbott says… and just kind of took over?”

Imagine that.

Fox News would’ve held a 96-hour emergency broadcast with 18 split screens and a countdown to “Tyranny Day.”

But when it’s Trump doing it? Crickets.

🤔 Rutte: As long as Russian aircraft don’t pose a threat, we will gently guide them out of our airspace.

It’s a proportional response — we are so much stronger than the Russians. If we were weak, maybe we’d shoot them down immediately, but being stronger, our reaction is proportionate.

Check the timestamps. On CNN’s website, the uploaded interview starts at 2:52. On their YouTube page, the upload starts at 2:47. The “plenary authority” comment by Miller was at 2:41, as shown in my side-by-side video post. CNN should be reporting on what Miller said. It’s news!

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”
