I'm an FDR-era liberal, not a Schumer centrist. Dems need to start talking wealth inequality, Citizens United, money in politics, reining in private equity, & all that other money stuff. Book? Goliath: the 100-year War Between Monopoly Power & Democracy.

I keep hearing the same argument from MAGA: "What about all the citizens murdered by illegals". Then get a warrant and go arrest them! Don't patrol the streets terrorizing everyone, arresting children at schools and US citizens because you don't know who to arrest. See the difference?

IMMORAL… This drawing was made by one of the 5 year old El Gamal twins. It shows children behind bars with the caption, “I’m 5 years old.” An immigration judge denied them bond, citing “insufficient assets.” These children could remain in detention for years while their case is appealed.

I don't see how Tesla's Model 3 can survive if Benz can offer an alternative EV this cheap, with this kind of performance, on top of the 15% tariff that it's charged in the US. Imagine what this model does to Tesla in Europe, where Benz pays no tariffs.

When Big Oil companies claim to be partners in climate solutions, remember: they are lying. As the climate crisis intensifies, Chevron is once again "increasing investments in oil and gas exploration," Reuters reports. www.reuters.com/markets/comm...
Chevron plans to grow oil and gas production by 2% to 3% per year through 2030. It currently produces around 4 million barrels of oil equivalent per day.
"There is need for significant investment to close the oil supply gap, equivalent to five Saudi Arabias" over the next decade, Wirth said.

Young Australians are bearing more and more economic burden because of our failure to index tax brackets. As Ken Henry has put it, this is an act of intergenerational bastardry. We need to index tax brackets, lessen the load on wage earners, and stop giving subsidies to fossil fuel industries.
