Same "budget warriors" crying about $26 lunches pushed for a $26 MILLION raise for APD -- already the most expensive police force in Texas. And this happened last year as CRIME RATES PLUMMETED. @natemcguire @saveaustintx @mkelly007 @ATXVideos @MattMackowiak

Good to know, @StephenM.

Hunger deaths? Can't bring yourselves to say mass starvation?

Elon Musk: "Government welfare for me, but not for thee"

I want to thank the right wing for proving it's so much easier to loudly worship Jesus than to actually follow his inconveniently progressive teachings.

The AG still not releasing the EPSTEIN FILES is weird and raises the question of who she might be protecting 🤔

I don’t want to hear any Republicans talk about “freedom” unless they have the guts to call out Trump for the lies that he is telling about Putin and Ukraine. It was Russia that started the war, not Ukraine. Putin is the dictator, not Zelensky.

Republicans' budget has a fundamental math problem. An $880 billion cut is an attack on Medicaid, not “waste,” “fraud,” and “abuse.” Let’s be clear—anyone who votes for this budget is voting to cut Medicaid.

Tonight we’re voting on a Republican budget that would destroy Medicaid and give $4.5 trillion in tax cuts to billionaires. In my district, 164,149 Minnesotans are at risk of losing their coverage all while President Musk gives tax breaks to his billionaire friends. Hell NO.

Do you want to run the US government? It's easy. All you have to do, like Musk, is contribute $277 million to Trump’s campaign. That’s oligarchy. Not democracy. We must end this corrupt campaign finance system, overturn Citizens United & move to the public funding of elections.

Donald Trump’s State Department tried to funnel $400 million to Elon Musk’s Tesla. They got caught. Then they lied about it. This isn't efficiency -- it's corruption. https://t.co/LsXf3GyPFb

This is explosive. Mayor Adams is putting the City of New York and its people at risk in exchange for escaping charges. As long as Trump wields this leverage over Adams, the city is endangered. We cannot be governed under coercion. If Adams won’t resign, he must be removed.

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

Oligarchs vs. Workers Oligarchs: 💰Musk’s wealth - $402 billion 💰Zuckerberg's wealth - $252 billion 💰Bezos' wealth - $249 billion Workers: 🛠️60% live paycheck to paycheck 🛠️ 85 million uninsured or underinsured 🛠️ 800k homeless End Oligarchy. Fight for working families.

This is how I wish Democrats and media would talk about what’s happening.

What about the guy who did a Nazi salute behind the presidential seal?

The 7 leading Republican billionaires contributed over $1 billion to Republican candidates in the 2024 cycle.   The 7 leading Democrats contributed $245 million.   When billionaires buy elections, we are living in an oligarchy, not a democracy. We must overturn Citizens’ United.

GEO Group is the nation’s largest private prison company. Look for the members of Congress who either buy their stock or take their money and vote YES on this bill. They are not voting for you - they’re voting to enrich themselves. It’s corruption in plain sight.

Wow just wow this is so big: Jewish Holocaust survivor Agnes telling that she knows that what is happening in Gaza is precisely a holocaust since she is not only a holocaust survivor but also holocaust expert and researcher

that climate chaos is fueling more extreme weather events like the LA Fires is beyond dispute. And once again US media's reporting on the devastation ignores fossil fuel's central role in the horrors we see on our screens. Here, I argue that this is bad https://t.co/zZsjZXTGws
