Really important new study on the tax rate of billionaires from @gabrielzucman.bsky.social et al Upshot: The top 400 ultrabillionaires: 23.8% Avg Americans: 30.2% Yes, the superrich pay far less in taxes than the rest of us. www.nber.org/papers/w34170
Thank you Governor Pritzker!
To Donald Trump and his administration: If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me — not time or political circumstance — from making sure you face justice under our constitutional rule of law.
No lies told here.
God I love Mexico!!! When Trump ordered the border wall painted black to absorb the sun's heat and make climbing harder, Mexico responded by painting beautiful murals on their side
That makes a lot of sense. Sheesh!
Its a brilliant strategy. Dont vote for bills that Dems put out but if your constituents like the results take credit for it even though you voted against it. Zero accountability but maximum benefit. Lie, lie, lie.
Thanks for your service! Cruelty is the point. Just awful
Trump: On war criminal Putin: “I’ve always had a fantastic relationship with him” On sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell: “I wish her well” On pedophile Epstein: “He’s a lot of fun to be with” On J6: “It was a day of love” To everyone who has enabled this evildoer, a pox on you and your houses.
Does any member of the GOP ever take accountability for anything? I mean seriously.
ST.Louis and Memphis are top 5 in violent cities in the US. Think hes sending the guard there in a deep red state?
The solution is staring them in the face. Disarm people but never gonna happen because these politicians get too much money from nra and gun lobby. They conveniently misread the constitution to justify access to firemarms but yet they are ‘shocked’ when shootings happen. Pleeeeeeeease.
If you cant win fair and square lets game the system.
Nothing but the best people
Whats that saying? Something with kettle and black? Hmmmm

MAGA gets their panties in a twist about Epstein and Trump and the possibilities Trump was on "the plane".....and yet 27 women come forward and say Trump assaulted them, and they ignore it.
What exactly about this bill makes us great? Denying people healthcare? Starving Children? Adding more to the deficit? But the really rich are happy I guess.
Isnt that season 3 of ‘Handmaid’s’? Oh I am being told it’s 2025 freaking Tennessee! WTF!
Mark Cuban on Donald Trump: “I've known him for 25 years. He is the most unethical, lacks character, dishonest person l've ever done business with"
Want the land but not the people on it. God forbid you take the land and make the Palestinians Israeli citizens. Eviscerate them with the world watching because you know there will be no repurcussions. A horrific tragedy.

Yeah this should end well. Nothing but the best people right? We were great once….
A little racial profiling got it. They basically admit the crime because no one will prosecute them.
Mandy is pissed 😡 so am I
It is a man-made crises. Everything can be resolved. Do it now!
What a Country we could have if folks were repulsed by fascism like they are about rent control and universal healthcare.
State’s rights is only convenient for the GOP when it supports their narrative.
Amateurs in serious jobs. This is what happens.
The cruelty is the point. You think they would house white illegals there? Nah!
If a bill is so bad that you have to exempt entire states from its consequences to win the votes you need—just don't pass the bill! Why do people in Washington state deserve Medicaid & SNAP cuts, but others don't? This is plain wrong, and it's just no way to legislate.
Its amazing how GOP claims elections are rigged against them but are always looking for ways to stop people from voting.
Israel's Prime Minister may think no one will notice what he's doing in Gaza while he bombs Iran. People face starvation. 55,000 killed. Aid workers and doctors turned away at the border. Shooting at innocent people desperate for food. The world sees you, Benjamin Netanyahu.
A group of activists who hurt no one and are trying to stop violence are ‘terrorists’, but those committing actual genocide are our trusted partners. @Pal_action you will be remembered well by history. Starmer & Cooper, your legacy is also guaranteed. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Former President Joe Biden celebrated Juneteenth at a historic Black church in Texas, calling for Americans to come together to push the country forward: “We have work to do."

Are we great yet? Tanks rolling down Penn. Ave. I guess this what people voted for.
President Trump warned on Tuesday that protesters who assembled during a military parade he planned in Washington on Saturday for the Army’s 250th birthday would be met with “very big force,” making no distinction between peaceful demonstrations and violent confrontations.
Using playbooks of all fascists. Happens in Russia, Hungary, Israel. Not unique.
“First they illegally deport citizens. Then they unleash ICE to terrorize communities. Now they’ve got the National Guard in L.A. to silence protestors. This ain’t about law and order. This is what authoritarianism looks like.” Rep Jasmine Crockett More here: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/millions-p...

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.
This should end well.
So if they are on our side and buy our weapons they cant commit war crimes? Is that the deal?
Now, more than ever
Weird how Republicans say they’re worried about Big Tech and government overreach...until it’s Elon Musk. We tried to subpoena him over privacy concerns and data abuse. They blocked us. They’re not doing oversight—they’re doing cover-ups.
Any questions?
Democrats used reconciliation to pass the Inflation Reduction Act, which will lower the deficit by hundreds of billions. Republicans are using it to try and pass a bill that would add trillions to the debt in order to give a tax cut to billionaires.
I thought they were arresting criminals and gang members, yeah right…..
Only the best people get hired.
Trump’s proposed budget: -Guts a nutrition program that helps 6.7M mothers, infants, and children under 5 access healthy food -Cuts housing programs that help 5.6M families afford rent -Eliminates funding entirely for Preschool Development Grants “Pro-family” values at work.
Trump is literally Making America Stupid Again.
"Apologists for Israel might want to reject the charge of genocide [and] suggest its hyperbole or even antisemitic, but the actual experts on genocide know a genocide when they see one - and they see one in Gaza." My receipts on all the experts who say Gaza *is* a genocide. zeteo.com/subscribe
The dumbing down of America.
Every progressive, pro-Palestine elected Dem in my feed is (rightly) condemning the murder of two Israeli staffers in DC. Funny how there’s rarely any reciprocity from their rightwing counterparts when there are hate crimes & murders against Palestinians, Arabs, & Muslims.
🥺 well justin you are one of my very favorite economists and i think you knocked this interview out of the park
No one should be surprised. Nothing about this bill is making America great.
💰 Trump’s tax bill would ADD $3.8 trillion to the deficit 💰 Trump’s tax bill would ADD $3.8 trillion to the deficit 💰 Trump’s tax bill would ADD $3.8 trillion to the deficit 💰 Trump’s tax bill would ADD $3.8 trillion to the deficit #TrumpTaxScam
Easy to say that in retrospect but missed fts, unconscious shooting by Pacers, and missed goal tending did the Knicks in. They will bounce back.
"New Video of Mahmoud Khalil’s Arrest Shows Trump Admin is Lying in Court" The new footage of ICE’s warrantless arrest shows the Palestinian student fully cooperated with federal agents and was not a flight risk, reports @premthakker.bsky.social
Not to mention systemic racism.
Israel's blockade of food and humanitarian aid entering Gaza has caused catastrophic mass starvation and death. By continuing to supply Israel with military aid, the U.S. is complicit in this bloodbath. There's no moral clarity in wreaking vengeance on innocent people.
See the difference? 🤨
It’s absolutely insane that Trump can accept a $400 million private jet from Qatar while his party makes plans to strip millions of Americans of their health insurance.
Just FYI because evidently Fox or OAN or whatever is pushing the lie that America accepted the Statue of Liberty and that’s equivalent to the plane. Congress VOTED to approve receiving the statue. So congress should vote on the jet
NEW: As the Trump admin is flying Afrikaners here today to be resettled as "refugees," @Sec_Noem is terminating Temporary Protected Status for Afghanistan — meaning they may start deporting women and allies who protected our troops to the Taliban to be persecuted or killed!
The GOP wanted to impeach Biden for a fake $5M bribe from Ukraine that was made up by a guy sitting in prison for lying about it, but they’re cool with a $400M plane from Qatar. Do I have that right?
Former Netanyahu defence minister says Israel is engaging in “war crimes” and “ethic cleansing” in Gaza. So, I guess we should expect him to be blacklisted as an antisemite by Canary Mission and denied entry/detained by the US? www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/li...
On what planet did anyone with half a brain think that this administration would know how to handle the economy? No one snatches defeat from the jaws of victory better though.

Are we great again?
Maybe actually educating yourself about the program would actually help instead of picking out words you dont like. Lazy and ultimately destructive.
Yeah this is SO surprising.
DOGE was never about "efficiency."
Bill Gates is calling out fellow tech billionaire Elon Musk over cuts made to US government spending under his watch through DOGE, saying the gutting of USAID would lead to millions of deaths around the world. Read more: cnn.it/3GLyqVj
And……..no one can protest or even say anything to remotely criticize this Israeli government because your deemed racist. They are blockading food and medicine to an entire population. How is this acceptable?
I am not sure that any of us is ready for a Pope who tweets in a personal capacity, speaks fluent English and can therefore engage in public American debates, if he so chooses
For 66 days the Netanyahu government has blocked ALL food and aid from going into Gaza. Now we're told it plans to seize and reoccupy huge parts of Gaza, as it pushes for Trump's plan to force 2 million Palestinians to leave. That would be ethnic cleansing by another name. We can’t stand for it.
From @djrothkopf.bsky.social "But, we who care, who still have a conscience, have an obligation to resist the efforts to silence us. We must decry what has happened and should the latest Israeli plans be put into motion... open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...
I applaud your courage i wish more Arab countries would speak out with half as much empathy as you have. When did it become anti semitic tocritize a government’s actions? We are horrified when hospitals are bombed in Ukraine but dont seem to be when hospitals are bombed in Gaza. Sad!
When your policy is to starve children…..oh never mind it is hopeless to critize.
Good to see another judge block another lawless Trump order targeting another law firm. Every legal challenge by a law firm has been successful. www.detroitnews.com/story/news/p...
Knick fan here, Pistons are going to be good for awhile. Cunningham is superstar in the making. Great season!
Senate Republicans voted to kill an EPA rule limiting the seven most hazardous air pollutants emitted by chemical plants and other industrial facilities. Inhaling even small amounts of these pollutants can cause brain damage and cancer. How is this Making America Healthy Again?
Day Biden Left Office: 44,025 Trump's market today: 39,834 America wishes it had "Biden's stock market" back.
this antivax stuff is genuinely bewildering. like what do you mean you don’t know if vaccines are safe? why exactly do you think child mortality rates have plummeted since the beginning of the 20th century? why is it that you are not worried about getting polio or smallpox anymore?
Insanity. Sheer insanity.
