They are NOT "conservatives." STOP calling them "conservatives." They are extremists. They are reactionaries. They are right wingers. "Conservatives," they are NOT. So friggin' stop using that word. Not for SCOTUS justices. Not for elected reps. Not for maga voters. Not for Fox News. STOP doing it.

The Phillies scored five runs in the ninth, aided by two-run homers by Harper and Derek Hill. They overcame an uncharacteristic start from Cristopher Sánchez, who gave up four first-inning runs.

This is THEFT. There is no other word for it. They are stealing almost $1.8 BILLION dollars to pay Trump‘s allies, despite knowing that these people are not legally entitled to any money and be laughed out of court if they filed a lawsuit for money damages.

Bad immigration economics assumes every extra person is one less seat. Good economics notices they also bring a seat, a side dish, and demand for the bloke selling drinks. The first story is fear; the second is how economies work.

The Dow was at 43,488 when Trump took office. It just hit 50,000. So if you had invested $43,488 in the US, you would now have $50,000. But if you had invested the same amount in the rest of the world, you would now be worth $60,000. Lemme do a expla-youtube-nation www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYL5...

The GOP cut SNAP & food assistance. They kicked people off Medicaid. They cut ACA tax credits for millions. Then used that money to give BILLIONS to donors, corporations, the Mar-a-Lago class—and to turn ICE into Trump's bloated and poorly trained revolutionary guard. We are going to ABOLISH ICE.
