Ossoff: The money that they took from you when they slashed Medicaid and defunded hospitals and nursing homes—They’re taking that money to buy corrupt, taxpayer-funded political ads on national television to try to promote the failed and broken president…

The Kremlin wants the world to forget who started the war. On 24 February 2022, Putin ordered a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, launching the largest conflict on the European continent since the Second World War. The war was not ‘forced upon’ Russia. Russia chose to start it.

Today's jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy. What's required is investment in working people — and better wages. When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs. Remember this.

Democracy truly is for sale in the U.S. The Supreme Court's 'Citizens United' ruling in 2010 created a direct line to the dysfunctional government we have now. Yes, overturn Citizens United - but first we need a Blue Wave on November 3.

A reminder as we discuss AI safety: Deregulation (or allowing corporations to "self regulate") only masks another kind of trickle-down economics — one where the financial gains go to the top, and nothing trickles down except risks and losses for everyone else.

Congress can’t indict people. They can have hearings and impeachment trials. But not criminal trials. Please don’t expect criminal trials and then blame democrats when you don’t get them. Midterms are step one. We have to win in 2028 and add seats to SCOTUS to hold people criminally accountable.

A truck driver working 40-hour weeks to make $50,000 a year pays about $3,800 in federal income tax. An 8% rate. An investor earning the same $50,000 in long-term capital gains pays $0. Work gets punished. Wealth gets rewarded. This tax code is a scam.

FLOCK cameras need to be stopped
Jennifer Peery

not the worst idea.

Perhaps the most legal way of dealing with Flock Cameras

1 Get bird seed.
2 Spread a lot of bird seed around the Flock camera pole.
3 Wait for birds.
4 Birds crap all over the Flock camera and its solar panel.

A four-panel instructional diagram showing a stick figure spreading bird seed around a solar-powered Flock security camera pole to attract birds, resulting in the camera and solar panel covered in bird droppings.
