A group calling themselves "No Labels" has suddenly emerged as a huge financial backer of Kyrsten Sinema. They're also floating the idea of running Joe Manchin for President. We dug into them, and found a whole lot of billionaires with a history of opposing democracy.

And just a reminder: the $0.9 trillion war budget does NOT include approximately $0.6t in additional funding hidden into other departments. That's at least $1.5 trillion, every year, that should be invested in developing America and in Americans.
I voted against the bloated $900 billion Pentagon budget this week because it is long past time to fundamentally change our national priorities.

🚨 Special Counsel Jack Smith January 6th investigation isn't about what Trump said on that day. It's about the actions of Trump and the Republican party leading up to that day. Fake electors, Pence denying transfer of power, phone calls to secretary of states, the big lie, and

About 40% of captive Africans arrived into American chattel slavery via Charleston’s wharves. Yet for generations, the city has been better known for its wartime history and physical beauty than the horrific institution of slavery that built it.

🙏🏼Grateful for my second chance at life after a heart transplant. As I recover, I'm unable to work and struggling to make ends meet for my daughters. If you can spare a little kindness, any donation would help cover groceries and bills. Your support means the world. Thank you! 🫶🏼

@salmons_jr @highbrow_nobrow So you’re already admitting that you don’t care because it’s a conservative judge but if it were a left leaning one you would? Don’t you find that a little hypocritical no?

@highbrow_nobrow @TJWoodstockNY Blatant corruption at this high level of American law is anchored by ineptitude at elite institutions, especially Yale, Harvard, and Princeton.
