Bill Maher asks how the government is “failing the poor so badly” when he pays “60 PERCENT” of his earnings in taxes. “Last week was tax day… I paid the government probably almost 60% of what I earn. That’s a lot.” “And I… wouldn’t mind if Bernie Sanders would stop saying the rich don’t pay taxes.” “The top 10% pay 72% of all federal income taxes. And the bottom half, 3%.” “The Democratic Socialists talk about socialism like we don’t already have a lot: Social Security, unemployment, Medicare, nutritional assistance, Medicaid, Obamacare, disability, housing subsidies.” “How can you be soaking the rich and failing the poor so badly? How can it be that the federal government alone took in over 5 trillion in taxes last year, and we still need that?” “Are we really this incompetent and corrupt?”

Will @DHughesCongress have anything to say about campaigning with domestic abusers? #mn07

Socialists call capitalism “immoral” for allowing some to become super rich while others are poor. They have it backwards. Capitalism has made nearly everyone more prosperous than our ancestors could even imagine:

The honor system and reliance on self attestation enables and exacerbates fraud in all programs.

"By limiting new housing, the city risks increasing property tax pressure on existing homeowners. When the cost of homeownership and living is already so high," one resident said during public comment. fox9.com/news/lakeville…

Many recent fire sales of commercial buildings in Democrat Minneapolis, but now two foreclosures in the same week. @MinnesotaDFL is destroying Minnesota with high taxes and regulations.

NEW 🧵: Michele Tafoya says fraud motivated her to run for U.S. Senate in Minnesota. She called it "epic" and "massive." She said career politicians won't save us. Yet FEC records show she took $5,000 from one of the biggest individual SEC accounting fraudsters in history.

(2/2) “Power comes from voting as a block,” Legislators have to make deals for bi-partisan support; voters do not like that because they think it means “compromise”. - @repjohnkline Kline represented @CD2MNGOP 2003-2017 Video here: republicanseniorsmn.com/past-meeting-v…

“We're seeing day after day, week after week where we can't get bills turned into law." @repjohnkline at our meeting Tuesday explained the maze of obstacles involved and the need for bi-partisan votes in the Senate #mngop (1/2)

🚨 WATCH: A LIFELONG DEMOCRAT just testified that Tim Walz's admin TARGETED and ATTACKED her for exposing fraud in Minnesota Tim Walz should be in JAIL. Faye Bernstein, a state employee for 20 years, said she first started noticing fraud 7 years ago, and sounded the alarm internally, so the admin began SMEARING her. "The retaliation in the smear campaign is strong. I was called everything from incompetent to racist. People who speak about fraud at state agencies, the first thing that leadership goes to is "RACISM" "It is career-killing, obviously. Who is going to hire someone who is considered racist?!" God bless this brave woman for her bravery 🙏🏻

That thing that never ever happens happened again.

Another great STOP THE TAPE with @billtwalsh @MNThinkTank podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ame… For @UMLawCenter , the city charter-required number of #mpls police will be achieved by the unrelenting population decline.

Liberal judges are complicit in the medicaid fraud scandals. Now, another fraudster has escaped the country after receiving $11 Million from the PCA program. The judge should never have allowed him his passport. Unbelievable.

@MichaelH_MN @WalterHudson @Savsays This is the bravery that Democrats say should earn MN the Nobel Peace Prize.

Until CMS or Congress forces state administrators state agencies to stop accepting self-attention without verification, the healthcare fraud will continue. The Honor System enabled this fraud - nearly $1M from ONE household. Pay and chase does not work! @DrOzCMS @HouseBudgetGOP @StephenM

Victor Davis Hanson: Obama Bombed Libya for Seven Months, Nobody Talked About Impeaching Him During the Libya bombing campaign, President Obama authorized strikes on a range of dual‑use sites, including TV stations, communications facilities, government buildings, civilian vessels and ports. He also joked about drone strikes at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, and there were no accusations of war crimes then. “We bombed them for seven months, and, by the way, after 60 to 90 days, the War Powers Authorization Act ends. In other words, you can negotiate from 60 to 90 days about whether you need Congress’s approval to make war. After that, it’s illegal.” youtu.be/zEQ6HH8sPn8 @VDHanson
