It's simple: If people can afford a private jet, they can afford to pay more taxes to reduce pollution, and if they can't afford to pay more taxes, they can't afford a private jet.

Actually, these folks lost Obamacare because the Republicans control Congress. We can change that in November but Trump can still veto any reforms unless the blue candidates win a 60% Senate majority. Rise up, MAGA, and cast out the racist Reds who suck up to Trump. #iwccc #indivisible

I'm so glad that DPA, NORML and MPP (among others) are continuing the fight to end the war on cannabis. Did anyone else notice that despite three (3) announcements from Trump this year, cannabis is just as illegal federally as it was under Nixon and Reagan? That's because Trump always lies. #iwccc

Missouri officials directed county election administrators to make voters temporarily unable to vote if they were flagged as potential noncitizens by a federal tool. But in hundreds of cases, the tool's determinations were wrong.

“Not Ready for Prime Time.” A Federal Tool to Check Voter Citizenship Keeps Making Mistakes.
The Department of Homeland Security pushed out the revamped tool while it was still adding data. That led to widespread misidentification, particularly for citizens born outside the U.S.
