Isn’t it interesting how we always have billions of dollars for bombs but never enough for helping American citizens meet their basic needs?
English
@PramilaJayapal How about you spend our money more responsibly?
.@CAgovernor has spend $25 billion to end homelessness in CA and has achieved almost no results
Before you announce new ways to spend OUR hard earned and OVER taxed money, be better and budgeting what you have.
English
Let me break this down simply: We have a greed problem.
We can afford Medicare for All. We can afford to house every person sleeping on the street. We can afford to make public college tuition free and guarantee access to universal pre-k to every child in America.
The money exists. It's just sitting in the bank accounts of billionaires who write blank checks to corrupt politicians to make sure it stays there.
Tax the rich. Fund the people. That's it.
English
The Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act would generate over $6 trillion over the next decade—without raising taxes on 99.85% of American households.
This wealth tax for millionaires and billionaires could pay for universal child care, free community college, Medicare expansion, and more.

@Acosta @SenAdamSchiff Hypocrite
The news has been “owned” by just a few for quite some time. While I completely disagree with the recent merger approval, you’re only speaking out because of politics
English
“Here is the breaking news… the news is broken.” My message before a hearing held by @SenAdamSchiff in CA for stopping Trump’s march toward state-dominated media in America. The news doesn’t belong to the oligarchs. It belongs to us.

@morgfair I’ve had my ballot redirected (stolen) by someone. They went into registrar’s office, filled out change of address, no ID required, I didn’t cast ballot that election but someone did.
English
Funny… I’ve lived in California since 1977, and I have NEVER received more than one ballot. Any other Californians out there? More than one ballot??

Trump: "You go to California, they send out like 38 million ballots. Some Democrats get 7, 8 ballots. Republicans are a lot of times calling in, 'Where's my ballot? Where's my ballot?' They're lucky to get one."

@WallStreetApes This video, just like all of the other “student debt is usury” posts, leave out so many details. Did borrower make less than min payments, did they miss payments, did they accrue interest while in school, did they start paying immediately after graduation??? Cry Wolf some more
English
American logs into her federal student aid account so we can see her actual loans and payments
- She took out a $49,548.74 loan
- She’s made 120 payments, paying $25,558.36
- Her current balance is $50,121.33
So after paying $25,558.36, she now owes more than she took out
“It's all such a scam”
English
@cturnbull1968 Turns out, not every American voter actually needs a passport. I have a RealID and my birth certificate, as does my wife. So we’re good. I’m sure many millions of people already have these documents as well.
English
If every American voter, without a passport, decided to get a passport, as their primary form of ID, it would take 5 years to fill the requests. But Republicans want this to be in effect before the midterms.
They know this, of course, so it’s obvious voter suppression.

@GovPressOffice Shocker that some ridiculous construction project is delayed or over budget… and you say MAGA hates it, here’s a little secret…. Taxpayers hate it! Spending our money like you don’t care and crying MAGA when someone tries to hold you accountable is OUTRAGEOUS! .@CAgovernor
English
MAGA hates when people are passionate about their work.
Always angry
Always pushing fear
Always dividing
Sad, sad lives!
Libs of TikTok@libsoftiktok
The woman in charge of Newsom’s $114 million bridge to nowhere which was supposed to be completed last year says it’s the “world’s most hopeful construction project” Yikes

Someone help, why isn’t this a travel call? Or a walk? Ref was right there

@SenatorHick It’s actually true. I’ve had my mail in ballot misdirected by someone that wasn’t me (aka fraud)
How you ask?!? CA doesn’t require ID to change address in registrar office, so they were able to have my ballot, and I’m sure others, sent somewhere else to cast my ballot
English
Saying the same lie over and over doesn't make it the truth.
The truth: mail-in voting is safe, secure, and makes voting easier for millions of Americans. We’re fighting on the Senate floor this week to stop MAGA attacks on YOUR right to vote.

Trump: "Most people don't want mail in voting because they know it's a fraud"

@GavinNewsom Have you ever been to public school in your own state? I have, they’re terrible and the last thing they are concerned with is educating anyone, and that goes double if you actually have a disability.
And yes, I have personal experience in this matter.
English
To every kid with a learning disability: don’t let anyone — not even the President of the United States — bully you.
Dyslexia isn’t a weakness.
It’s your strength.
English
@PattyMurray So sick of the fabricated drama.
Elections are the most pieerful firm of free speech and you want to let anyone with a pulse (and some without them) access to voting…
English
If you are a:
- married woman that changed your last name,
- student that moved away to college,
- lifelong voter with mobility issues,
Republicans' SAVE Act will make it HARDER & more EXPENSIVE for you to vote.
Democrats will be fighting to keep our elections fair & FREE.
English
@realKyleKeegan Oh, I see… you’re so witty with your replies and super timely to boot. You actually don’t want a debate of the facts, you just want to call people names and brow beat them for having a different point of view.
English
@michaelkinla Try to be more punctual next time. The debate was had, the MAGA Neanderthals were educated, and all their stale low-brow talking points were debunked.
English
.@realKyleKeegan Why don’t you let people outside of your bubble reply to your gibberish? Afraid of having a healthy debate?!???
English
@CAgovernor Maybe he should take a page out of your book on Spin… you’re an expert Spinner. Pretty much all you do is spin.
English
No amount of spin from Trump and his lackeys can cover up the fact that Americans shelled out an extra $1.5 BILLION for gas this past week because of his disastrous war with Iran.
English
@vegasstarfish @AlaskaAir It’s because everyone left Seattle after Washington officials vote yes on the wealth tax…
English
Hey @AlaskaAir we’ve been on the tarmac in Seattle for almost 4 hours with no update. They don’t have a gate for us. Our plane is just driving around in circles. We missed our connection to Tokyo. Any guidance would be appreciated.
English
@jwigderson True. My wife in anticipation of this bill being passed, just went through the machinations of getting a passport. Real ID for her? Not enough. Birth certificate? Only if her parents had the foresight to give her my last name 71 years ago…
English
Voter ID is popular. This is not a voter ID bill. This law requires proof of citizenship. A license to drive is not sufficient. Roughly half the country doesn't have a passport. Married women will often have names different than what appears on their birth certificates.
Mark Belling@MarkBellingShow
The Democrats are blocking passage of the Save Act (requiring proof of citizenship to vote) despite overwhelming public support because they want and need illegal immigrants (and other non-citizens) to vote. This is THE threat to democracy.
English
@maziehirono Ummmm… nope. You’re wrong and you’re spreading lies and fear mongering.
English
If the SAVE Trump Act passes, it will be easier to buy an assault rifle than it will be to register to vote.
Let that sink in.
English
@ericswalwell Maybe now you’ll appreciate h what you’re doing to ICE agents… sucks doesn’t it.
English
I receive hundreds of death threats every year. My children are not allowed in the yard. That’s why my address is private. And now Tom Steyer has not only put my life at risk but also my family’s by releasing my address.
And the California Post and Daily Mail took his bait and are harassing my neighbors.
Tom, you can try to buy this election all you want, but this is low, even for you.
English
@arianajasmine__ Last I heard, the Khamenei was killing protesters by the thousands as they tried to overthrow the regime
English
Two things are true at once:
1.Khamenei was an oppressive dictator who subjugated the Iranian people (especially women).
2.The U.S. and Israel are not, and will never be, the liberators of any nation.
Iranian people deserve the autonomy to overthrow their own regime on their own terms.
Now their future will be shaped by the same global empire responsible for the massacre of millions of civilians in the region over the past couple of decades.
