Immigrants have paid more in taxes than they have received in benefits every single year for the past 30 years, according to new analysis from Cato. Remember this the next time Trump and his racist lackeys call immigrants "freeloaders."

“Never in my lifetime did I imagine that we’d be celebrating a troop withdrawal from Minnesota.”

Oh, but we needn't worry, says a White House spokesperson: "President Trump will decide the path forward on nuclear arms control, which he will clarify on his own timeline."

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

In less than a week the Kennedy Center has effectively closed and our local DC paper has been gutted, both by billionaires. I don’t think immigrants are our problem in this country.

While there have always been dubious pardons for political cronies, “unprecedented” doesn’t begin to describe how Donald Trump has corrupted the power of presidential forgiveness.

The Founders wanted the states to run elections. And they have for 237 years. Now Donald Trump wants to run them.

🔥 @rokhanna.bsky.social : “Today, I call on Congress to haul before the oversight committee every single person who emailed about going to Epstein’s island… the 🇺🇸 people are frustrated with the rich and powerful getting a different set of Justice.”

If he's a man of his word (I know, I know — just having a little fun there) but if he WERE, then Homan and his hordes would be exiting Minneapolis AS WE SPEAK (or write).

This isn't for lack of funds. Bezos is doing it as a part of his longstanding plan. He bought the paper to muzzle it. Like everyone in Trumpworld, he understands that if the press isn't silenced, MAGA could lose power, which would force the billionaires to start paying their fair share of taxes.

In no functioning country is this allowed.

Please don't fall for this.

Elon Musk's net worth just hit $800 billion. How? One of his corporations acquired another one of his corporations. Meanwhile, Elon's companies pay next to nothing in federal income taxes and get billions of dollars in government contracts. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Chilling testimony from victims of attempted murder by ICE, and searing analysis by Lawrence O'Donnell. Note that not a SINGLE Republican showed up to this hearing of members of the House and Senate.

JEFF TIEDRICH: "why is Donny being so nice to [the Clintons]? … on the verge of Bill and Hil testifying under oath about Donny’s dead pedo bestie, suddenly he’s buttering her up. she’s so ‘smart and capable.’ what do the Clintons know about Donny?"

"the New York Times actually committed a journalism, and counted up the number of times Donny’s mentioned in the Epstein files that have been released so far. their tally? more than 5,300. and here’s a fun fact: that’s more than five times the number of mentions of Jesus in the Bible."

INBOX: Washington Post Ukraine Correspondent Lizzie Johnson announces that she has been laid off in the middle of a below-freezing war zone without power, heat, or running water.

But Bezos had $75 million to spend on Melania’s vanity project.

Alabama's maternal health stats are akin to those of Venezuela or Colombia. California's stats are closer to those of Sweden or The Netherlands. And this reflects sharply on quality of life.

“If they [ICE] don’t kill you on the street, they will try to kill you by dragging you out of the hospital if they can. And that is not a mistake. Dragging a wounded young woman [with seven bullet wounds] out of the hospital — that is a willful attempt to kill her.”

They'd better figure this out QUICKLY, because this country right now is a mirror image of France in 1789. (I'll be in the front row, knitting...)

Predicting that this week we’ll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since they’re starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.

😬 whoops! @tedcruz accidentally reveals the Republican agenda

Jan 6 hero Harry Dunn aka @libradunn1.bsky.social is running for Congress. Harry told me on the phone last night he was motivated to run after seeing Alex Pretti being gunned down in Minneapolis. Here’s Harry’s inspiring campaign launch video: youtu.be/KzUVfHPUVvw

Every dollar spent militarizing streets is a dollar not spent on housing, hospitals, disaster preparedness, or infrastructure. Thank you @oliviaoftroye.com

Masked thugs on the streets. Measles outbreaks across the nation. Blatant government corruption. Coverup of group of elite sex offenders. Ruling party trying to rig elections. Leader building grandiose monuments to himself. Collapse of remnants of nonpartisan civil service. Third world America.

James Comer is bringing Hillary Clinton before his committee to testify about Epstein despite having zero contact with him, but not Epstein’s neighbor Howard Lutnick who lied about his connections to Epstein over many years which is proven in the files.

Palantir reported $1.5 billion in losses from 2020-2024. That allowed them to pay $0 in federal income taxes. So how did they spend $64 million on stock buybacks and pay their CEO $3.3 billion over roughly the same period? This tax code is a complete joke.

$1.5T military budget $170B for ICE and Border Patrol (over 4 years) $100B on tax cuts for the 1% (per year) $1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet $496M to send National Guard into cities $200M for Kennedy Center renovations $200M for Kristi Noem's jets $100M for Trump's golf outings Priorities.

@jimacosta.bsky.social is RIGHT. @msnowreports.bsky.social All journalists should vacate the @whitehouse-47.bsky.social PRESS POOL. And MSM should quit Airing drumpf's ugly fat 🍊 face on TV. He craves that.

Three rules in FBI firearm training: 1. Always point your weapon downrange 2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot 3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like

Three powerful minutes from Jon Stewart last night:

The US government is trying to make coal seem cute.

The indictment of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers revealed that they had a cache of weapons, entered the Capitol in military formation, and were prepared to harm lawmakers. They were all pardoned and no doubt many of them are now in ICE

You know what ELSE would generate $3 trillion? Rescinding the GWB and DJT tax breaks. We had a SURPLUS in the year 2000, at the end of the Clinton administration.

Congress appropriated $257 million to renovate the Kennedy Center before Trump shut it down. Follow that money and see where it goes.

There are literally emails between Epstein and gargantuan GOP donor Peter Thiel like "as discussed we shud distroy society" and yet the right wing propaganda machine is smearing Lutheran soccer moms as being on Soros's payroll.

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025. Meanwhile, thanks to his new Tesla pay package, Elon Musk could stand to make $3 billion more per year than all 1.4 million elementary school teachers in the U.S. combined. See the problem here?

Trump now claims that 25 million people came into the country under Biden. First it was 10 million, then 15, then 20, now it’s up to 25 today.

If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.

Texas Dems have a historic opportunity to finally have a real chance in the US Senate race with everything lining up well to put them in the game, but fighting with each other instead of against Trump and Republicans appears to be the main priority.
