Sure, keep walking, but don’t forget to chew gum too. He thinks you can only watch one thing at a time. Make sure you spend some time, attention, and clicks-etc. on the other things going on right now that still matter too. He’s counting on you losing focus. Don’t.
Cost estimate of Senate tax cuts is out!

On an apples-to-apples basis, the Senate GOP tax bill costs $4.2 trillion, $403 bn more than the House.

However, the Senate has fewer (still some) "temporary" measures.

Take that into account, and it's more expensive, but the House is EVEN more expensive.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

Kasperwhoeverthefuck “reportedly said the rule changes were "a formality," but "confirmed they were made to comply with Trump's executive order."

Yet the VA has NOT disclosed what document, bylaws, directive, policy this change was made to…. 👀 Why won’t they say????

Yes, Trump is a threat to democracy.

But the far bigger menace is the monstrous growth in wealth concentration over five decades that made a Trump presidency possible—and maybe inevitable.

Up to 120 million acres of our public lands could be available for sale. If that happens, hunting, camping, birdwatching, and hiking opportunities would be lost forever.

ICE agents detain people coming out from hearings at immigration court who have upcoming scheduled hearings.

ICE agents unilaterally grabs them and drags them away.

When people abiding by the law get arrested, and the government openly defies the law, it’s fascism.

It isn’t just NYC.

In Baltimore, ICE is holding people for up to 9 DAYS in a space meant for 12 hours. Denied adequate food and water, no beds, no medical.

Maryland AG says if it were a state facility it would be against the law.

CHECK YOUR STATE.

America was built BY WORKERS who paid with their health and lives.

By enslaved people stripped of all human rights, women in wartime factories, miners in company towns, and immigrants seeking better lives.

Not by billionaires. Not by kings.
