Trump’s Billionaire Tax Scam: People making between about $51,000 and $17,000 could lose about $700 on average in after-tax income. On the other hand, people making between $51,000 and $17,000 PER DAY will make out like bandits.

Your School House Rock moment...🤔

The federal government plans to eliminate services for LGBTQ youth who call 988, the national suicide and crisis hotline, according to a Health and Human Services budget draft leaked last week.

This administration is getting bolder in its defiance of the Courts and we should all be alarmed. From refusing to return a mistakenly deported man to denying freedom of the press, their dangerous ignorance of checks and balances threatens our nation's very foundation.

Another great review! Thank you!

Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who don’t pay attention to politics or news.

#1 in new 20thc. World History!

Pretty thuggish way to treat a distinguished senior officer after a lifetime of serving her country. They relish the cruelty.

🌹 A fantastic book launch for The Risk of Sorrow: Conversations with a Holocaust Survivor.

Scenes like this wouldn’t be possible without whistleblowers coming forward about Elon Musk’s authoritarian takeover. Reminder that if you’re a public servant wishing to report fraud, waste, or abuse at a federal agency, you can do so on my website:

This is the most American thing I can think of. Thank you, Ramsey, N.J., and all other such libraries!

This is a really interesting idea and it makes me want to bring to life the worlds I've been crafting even more. The greater stream of consciousness choosing to put its ideas through me is a very fascinating idea.
