Ro Khanna on Joe Biden's border crisis in 2023:
"I believe he has done more" on border security than any previous president.
With a statement like that, one thing is clear: Democrats do not support secure borders.
America@america
Voter: “I feel that I am more likely to be harmed by Democratic policies.” Rep. Ro Khanna: “I’m for secure borders.” Voter: “In your state… 4,600 or so illegal migrants that had criminal records were re-released from jail…you guys turn a blind eye.”

@joeroganhq He's completely wrong. Politicians are the problem. They have tried to slice and Dice and divide any group of people just to create chaos.
English
James Talarico to Joe Rogan: "The biggest divide in our politics is not left vs right — it’s top vs bottom. Billionaires are dividing us because our unity is a threat to their wealth and power."

Trump needs to be removed from office; he has clearly lost what little control of himself he had. He is a disgrace. The only good thing is that his derangement is becoming clearer even to his strongest supporters, so maybe the country can salvage its reputation after he's gone.

@LeaderJohnThune I would rather pay taxes for homeland instead of all the NGO's that deliver nothing of benefit to anyone except the people on their board.

Democrats voted to defund law enforcement at the Department of Homeland Security.
So Republicans are going to take up a reconciliation bill to fund border security and immigration enforcement for the next three years.

@NYCMayor I am good with negotiating for myself. I have held both union and non-union. I choose non-union.
English
In the 1950s, one out of every three workers in this country carried a union card. Today, it’s fewer than one in ten.
That decline didn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of decades of coordinated attacks by corporations that have grown richer while working people have been asked to settle for less.
That’s the crisis we’re living through: deepening inequality, eroding stability, and a political system that too often answers to wealth instead of the will of the people.
Union Now is changing that — rebuilding the power of working people from the ground up. Yesterday, alongside @BernieSanders, I was proud to stand with organizers and workers at the @UnionNow_ rally.

@WaysMeansCmte Obama care caused the problem. Everything govt touches becomes more expensive.

Grandma shouldn't have to rely on DoorDash tips to make up for Republicans doubling the cost of health care.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar
Sharon Simmons, the DoorDash grandma who was just part of a Trump photo op at the White House, says on Fox News that "no tax on tips" helped her because she couldn't afford her husband's cancer treatments

@RepDelBene Don't want to hear it, unless our local government is going to start tightening thier belt. We keep having to be squeezed by your taxes, and regulation that is the problem. Figure out how to be more effective and efficient. Start there.

Trump’s war in Iran is hurting Washingtonians. Across our community, gas now costs families over $5 per gallon.

@TomSteyer If govt could manage money... maybe it would be an option. But here is an example of the other side. x.com/i/status/20434…
The Undercurrent@NotTheirScript
Canada told this man’s wife to kill herself with MAID because they had “no treatment” for her stage 4 ovarian cancer. They lied about HIPEC surgery. Lost her chemo requisition. Her oncologist never even met her in person. ERs sent her home with opioids while her lungs filled with fluid. So they evacuated her by ferry from Vancouver Island to Seattle. America got her into the system immediately. Started chemo. Gave her the surgery Canada said wouldn’t work. Every time she went back to Canada, she nearly died again, going septic in Canadian hospitals until her husband literally unplugged her from machines and evacuated her back to the US. They finally got him a green card in under three months with the help of a Congresswoman. Now they’re in Texas. His wife is heading into her THIRD remission. She squatted 175 lbs for five reps last week. Canada’s answer was death. America’s answer was treatment. That’s the difference. 🇺🇸

@elonmusk but, if you commit fraud, no worries, very little or nothing will happen.

California legislators are trying to make investigating fraud illegal
Nick shirley@nickshirleyy
California is trying to pass a bill that would criminalize investigative journalism with misdemeanors, $10,000 fines, imprisonment, and content takedown. The proposed bill is titled AB 2624 and was made after I exposed mass fraud by immigrant groups in America. Under AB 2624, government-funded entities like the Somali “Learing” Daycare centers would be protected from being exposed if they operated inside California. The enemy truly is within. When our politicians would rather protect fraudsters and illegal migrants, it’s time for us to stand up or face mass oppression from the traitors who “rule” over us.

@Lily4Liberty yep.. laid off after 20 years (mix of contract and full time employee work) at the end of feb.. searching, sending resume's, still nothing more than 1 interview... it's painful out here

Very sad to watch this. One of my sons just lost his job by a email after 10 years of working for a big bank. 😔
Wall Street Apes@WallStreetApes
Americans are finding its very hard to get a job in today’s job market “I just got denied from Walmart as a cashier. I have a f*cking master's degree, bro. I went to school for 12 years” He says he has applied for roughly 300 entry level positions with a masters degree “I have applied to over 300 companies and I've gotten response back from 11 of them. Why the f*ck do you think I'm applying to Walmart to be a cashier? Because no one is hiring. Why do you even post a job offering? You're not gonna hire anyone or respond.” Current job market data - Roughly 42% of recent college graduates (ages 22–27, bachelor’s or higher) are underemployed - This is also the case of advanced degrees - Right now data says it is not uncommon for job seekers to put in as many as 250 applications before getting a call back This is crazy

@katieporterca cut some regulation - i'm sure there is a significant portion of the cost to build a home is within that... here in WA it's over 23% of the cost..x.com/WaHouseGOP/sta…
WA House Republicans@WaHouseGOP
"In Washington, regulations account for 23.8% of the cost of a new home, adding roughly $165,000 to the median price. Permit delays average 6.5 months, adding another $31,000. According to the National Association of Home Builders, every $1,000 increase in costs prices 2,200 families out of the housing market. "Local impact fees also add an average of $18,433 to the price of a new single-family home. "The math is simple: you cannot make housing more affordable by making it more expensive to build."

California isn’t just where my kids were raised; it’s who they are. But for them to stay Californians, they need more than a spot on my couch. They deserve homes of their own—innovative, climate-resilient, and transit-accessible. We aren't just building apartments; we’re financing the long-term financial success of an entire generation.
What I want for my children, I want for every Californian.
English
@SenRandPaul DSA is the future. Capitalism has ran it's course. Capitalism, Israel, evangelicals..those 3 things most can agree on. Not gonna fix affordability with capitalism or else someone would have done it. You just wanna keep your oligarch pay masters happy thats why you posted this.

Sounds like a horror film. Socialism poisons everything it touches.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor
I was elected as a democratic socialist, and will continue to govern as a democratic socialist. 100 days in — and we’re just getting started.

@BradCageMusic @KushDesai47 @RapidResponse47 in our state 23% goes to regulation alone - so it would be fewer than that.

@KushDesai47 @RapidResponse47 Not counting the current war with Iran, we could have built 20 million free houses for American's for the cost of the wars we fought for Israel already. 20 million!
English
America has a shortage of 10 million houses, a new CEA study finds.
The Trump administration is fixing that -- less red tape, more construction.
