Does he stay up at night concocting schemes to outshine his rival, Dr Evil?

Tariff chaos. Endless wars. Handouts to the rich. You can draw a straight line from Trump and the GOP to the economic chaos now slamming Americans. Instead of helping working families, Republicans now want taxpayers to pay for their dear leader's ridiculous ballroom.

BREAKING: in April 2026, *every single one* of the 1,570 refugees admitted in the United States were white South Africans. In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 6,066 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November 2025), and nobody else.

"Slop is AI’s chief export," writes technologist Mike Pepi. "And there’s a simple way for lawmakers to mitigate its harms: institute a small slop tax."

Waste. Fraud. Abuse.

Bad framing: ACIP voted to scrap the universal hepatitis B vaccine recommendation for newborns. Accurate framing: Anti-vax conspiracy theorists appointed to ACIP by Robert Kennedy Jr., who made a fortune as an anti-vax profiteer, voted to expose babies to a preventable, incurable, deadly illness.

Support the workers and tax the rich -- go, Santa Fe! "Santa Fe also is counting on revenue from a so-called mansion tax, which targets home sales over $1 million, to fuel a trust fund for affordable housing projects." @apnews.com apnews.com/article/sant...

Decorated Naval aviator, astronaut, Senator, and endlessly supportive husband following the assassination attempt on Gabby Gifford. A hero by anyone's reckoning. This is who the idiots want to court martial? It beggars belief.

As the year comes to a close, we hope lawmakers in 2026 will take us at our word when we say we’d start being grateful if they taxed us MORE, not less, and undo the damage from the Republican budget bill: www.americanprogress.org/article/7-wa...

Next year, Donald Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" will hand $67 BILLION of YOUR taxpayer dollars over to corporations for a single tax break. Why? To "incentivize" research these companies did years ago. Let that sink in. YOUR money being used to boost Amazon's profits even more.

I think the phrase "the dangers of excessive wealth" should be widely disseminated on social media -- people need to realize how truly dangerous a social phenomenon it is.

A monstrous, illegal waste of taxpayer dollars. Donald Trump must confirm if this estimate is true and disclose the full total he's burned through with his unlawful military deployment into our cities. The American people deserve to know.

Extreme wealth—and that includes obscene CEO payouts—is bad for society as a whole. Because extreme wealth translates into extreme power that threatens the stability of our economy, our democracy, the freedom of the press and media, and our planet. patrioticmillionaires.org/perspectives...

Our President, Erica Payne, spoke with Fast Company, and shared our super simple message for the FAA during the shutdown: “If you need a 10% reduction [in flights], you can get 100% of your reduction from the private planes.” www.fastcompany.com/91437451/faa...

“It’s become out of control, and I really hope that this shutdown is a wake-up call of how bad things have gotten.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Private planes make up nearly 12% of all flights. And yet even with major air traffic control safety concerns, the DOT is planning to exclude them from its plan to order 10% cut in flights at 40 major U.S. airports. People who can afford to charter flights will be fine. Everyone else is screwed.

42 million people cant buy food this month. It’s time to tax billionaires.

Forget vampires.🧛🧛🧛 The real monsters are the billionaires who drain the lifeblood from our democracy. In this week’s Closer Look, we expose the terrifying truth: extreme wealth warps empathy and threatens the future of working people everywhere. patrioticmillionaires.org/perspectives...

I’ve learned a LOT this year. One the biggest lessons: don’t mess with our public servants. They are a courageous bunch! A single fed has more character in one of their pinky fingers than the Trump administration has in their entire staff.

The 3 districts facing the highest premium hikes if ACA tax credits expire are all Republican-led districts: WY: +693% WV-01: +654% WV-02: +599% Republicans would rather abandon their constituents than work with us to reopen the government and protect their health care.

If Republicans get their way and let ACA tax credits expire, 339,000 Americans will lose their jobs next year. Almost half of them will be doctors, nurses and caregivers. They call it policy. We call it cruelty.

That's over $1 trillion kept out of their workers' pockets. And FWIW, that's also over 5x more than they paid in federal taxes during that same period. Read the latest reporting from our pals @oxfamamerica.bsky.social: www.oxfamamerica.org/press/larges...

Corporations can pay workers a living wage. They just choose not to. How do we know this? Because the five largest U.S. companies alone spent over $1 trillion in stock buybacks and dividends over the past five years.

Kristi Noem is cosplaying as a public official. In reality, she's been sent by Trump to incite violence. Don't tar and feather her as Speaker Johnson suggested for Governor Newsom. The best response to her playacting as cop? Ignore her and keep supporting our community.

Portland is so peaceful Republicans had to go all the way to South America to find photos from years ago for their bad memes.

Thanks, Donald Trump! Burbank Airport has ZERO air traffic controllers from 4:15pm to 10pm today because of YOUR government shutdown.

It's time for a cost of living tax exemption, that puts working people at the heart of economic policy. The first $45,000 of income should be tax free, and millionaires/billionaires should pick up the difference. If we want to put more money into working people's pockets, this is how you do it.
