Mr. Peabody

@amelia_tweetz It's a great plan to cause a housing bubble, yes.

Kamala Harris outlined a great plan to incentivize homeownership: $25,000 in down payment help for first-time homebuyers, plus a $10,000 tax credit. Trump got us into a war with Iran costing $1 billion per day. This will never not be infuriating.

@ChrisMurphyCT Isn't your organization the one that writes the tax code?

Our current economy is rigged. It just is. A new report shows that 88 of the largest companies in America, including: Amazon Citigroup Haliburton Kohl's Palantir PayPal PG&E Southwest Airlines Tesla United Airlines Disney paid ZERO corporate income tax last year.

@SCMountainGoat There is, and always will be, a third class. The self-sufficient.

When you complain about gas prices, you’ll often hear people repeat the same phrase to you. “Just buy an electric car” That’s the exact same thing as saying “Just stop being poor.” When you mention that your commute as far, because you work in the trades, people will say “Well that’s your fault for living so far from your job.” People who say this don’t seem to understand that people who work in the trades commute to where the job site is, and that job site is always changing. It’s the left-wing version of “Just pull yourself up by the boot straps.” Ironically, these are the same people who will defend drug addicts, who choose to sleep on the streets, refuse treatment, and are allowed to openly defecate on the sidewalks. In California, the middle class is disappearing, and no one gives a shit. Soon there will be two classes, the filthy rich, and the dirt poor. There will be no in between.

@AdamParkhomenko You don't know the difference between postponed and cancelled?

Remember when people said it was hyperbole that Republicans would cancel elections

@MotherJones Were you ever concerned about the white voters living in black districts not being represented based on color?

“We could see the largest drop in Black representation since the end of Reconstruction." On Wednesday, the Supreme Court dealt a death blow to the country’s most important civil rights legislation, the Voting Rights Act of 1965—the law that defeated Jim Crow. Garrison Hayes spoke with colleagues Ari Berman and Pema Levy about the Supreme Court, the Voting Rights Act and democracy. They were clear, this is bad. But if you stick around, they also talk about a way forward.

@SenWarren We pay you $200,000 a year plus perks and we have to do the math?

Donald Trump paid almost a billion dollars to kill wind energy projects that would have powered millions of homes. You do the math on how that helps your family.

@GregCasar Don't forget to hydrate.

Graham Platner is showing what it means for Democrats to run pro-working class campaigns. Now he’s up against Susan Collins, who cast critical votes to cut taxes for billionaires, kick millions off health care, and overturn Roe v. Wade. Let’s get to work for Graham.

@PoindexterTana But you're okay with white voters living in black districts not having representation based on color. 🙄

Actually the maps were need because due to racism black voters going to keep getting erased from voting maps. And that is why black civil rights leaders died so that we could have that right since white people don’t want anyone to have anything.

@stephmccamp Europe has been paying twice that amount for fuel for 5 decades now. Quit crying.

Min wage is $7.25. Fuel national avg according to aaa is $4.22. So “best”case, min wage earners have to work for free for over an hour just to make enough for 2 gallons of gas to get back & forth to work? Fuck your ballroom + your war +billionaires. This country is an evil joke.

@rushicrypto You actually believe they control healthcare, but won't once they move?

“If you tax billionaires, they’ll LEAVE!” Ok. Healthcare is unaffordable because of the 50 billionaires controlling the healthcare system. Let them go.

@drodvik52 @allenanalysis @dorokrakow Civil war.

@allenanalysis @dorokrakow Thank God! This SC ruling has me reeling. I’m so angry and frustrated. I just want to know how we can fight back.

🇺🇸BREAKING: Louisiana Republicans are cancelling an ongoing election to eliminate Black majority districts. The election already started. People have already voted. Republicans are about to cancel those votes. Never in American history has an election been cancelled this way.

@allenanalysis It sounds like you need to kick Louisiana out of the Union. 🤷

@FinancialPhys That's exactly why there should be no minimum wage.

Yep As of today, the federal minimum wage would need to b $210 per hour to equal the same spending power $1.60 per hour had in July of 1971 on a 40 hour week

@Bulbasoros How much do we need to give you?

This is the bare minimum and conservatives freak out

@ninaturner It would seem the genocide in Gaza is less important than the price of gas to you now. 🤔

Today, the average gas price is $4.30/gal. Why? Because of the US foreign policy to do whatever the hell Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli government says to do. Working class people see their taxes go to bombs and their gas prices go up while people overseas die.

@MsAngieV82 How is that any different from conservative living in Los Angeles?

They can still vote, but their representation in Congress will basically be eliminated and what’s the point of a vote with no representation? Furthermore, without representation, there will be no one to advocate for Black and Brown people or share their concerns in Congress. Minority communities, schools, research into disparities, etc would be grossly underfunded or not funded at all, their concerns regarding legislation and policies will be ignored, and laws may unintentionally disadvantage them. Basically, it’s going back to Jim Crow era where minority people had no real representation in government.

@JMxGA @Eastsidecrazy67 @JohnPB345 @60Minutes @JordanSchachtel Thank you.

@JonesSidewinder @Eastsidecrazy67 @JohnPB345 @60Minutes @JordanSchachtel Masterful goalpost shifting, truly excellent work

“We've stopped making babies. We've decided that being distracted by a dopamine hit around Candy Crush might be a good way to spend your time. Not if you're a full human," former Sen. Ben Sasse says in an extended interview. cbsn.ws/4cA1Jrp

@AmericaExpanded @carynannharlos The federal government should be abolished. The union has failed.

@carynannharlos The US isn’t breaking up and there is no meaningful reason to do so. I will personally put anyone against the wall who actively seeks dissolution of our great union. Dissolution only invites foreign tyranny. E pluribus unum

We are seeing the break up of the United States.

@PramilaJayapal Should I have to choose between paying rent and taxes?

You should never have to choose between paying rent and filling a prescription. You should never have to fight an insurance company to get the care your doctor ordered. Health care is a human right. Medicare for All is how we deliver it.

@EdwardGLuce If people don't know the difference between median and average, you're wasting your time asking them to understand anything else.

Reminder to those who can't seem to grasp distinction between median and average. US average income in 2024 was $76,000. US median income was $44,000. The difference is vast inequality. But $44,000 is not a good living.
