What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”
What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.

People are taking this tweet to mean I want Harris to be the nominee.
Let me be clear: I am and will remain neutral in the primaries. I gotta work with whoever wins.
My point here is simply to highlight Harris' youth support and how little has been said about it.

📌You'd think the legacy media would point out that Trump has told upwards of 100,000 lies and mistruths in the past decade.
Instead we get this:
"Today Trump said this, then he said that."
"Then he said this, then he said that."
Every story they do should note he is a liar.
THAT'S journalism.

Someone in his administration told him he ended 8 wars. And that GDP is awesome. And that he's creating jobs. And that his poll numbers are great. Trump doesn't have a clue what's going on, he only knows what he's told.

It's embarrassing as an American that Trump's two closest heads of state buddies are Putin and Netanyahu who lead him around like there's a ring in his nose. Mark Carney and Claudia Sheinbaum would be much better choices

NEW from me — I broke down Trump's claim on local right wing radio that the US carried out a Christmas Eve land strike in Venezuela, how he doubled down Monday, the subsequent media reports with no substance, the potential role of social media rumors about an actual fire, and how we need the truth:
Trump says US bombed alleged drug facility in Venezuela. No one knows if it’s true.
It could be a lie from social media, or a conflation of other stories. Either way, Americans need to know.

Now Lavrov is trivially masking his desire to continue the strikes with the phrase "attack on Putin's residence", and by this he is trying to justify further terrorist attacks on Ukraine to the US.
But the Russians' primary plans are already known, and this attempt is unsuccessful.
