So not only are these companies and their billionaire CEOs not paying their fair share in taxes — they’re also not even paying their employees enough for them to afford health care.

5) We’ll find WMDs

The U.S. Senate is currently considering a budget reconciliation bill that quietly includes language that could devastate our public lands. It would:
- Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale
- Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land
- Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale
- Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land

Trump's ICE regime forces and BPD kidnapped yet again another US citizen. They snatched Job Garcia based on the color of his skin outside Home Depot in Hollywood.
In addition the regime thugs destroyed his property and asked each other "how many bodies have you caught today?"

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles
Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

There’s no basis/authority in law to target enforcement at jurisdictions run by your political adversaries explicitly because of their partisan political affiliation. That’s an outrageous abuse of power. E.g., imagine if Biden said he’d target tax audits at red states.
