Having literally written the book on the National Prayer Breakfast -- borne of the idea that God cares more for the rich and powerful than everyone else -- I can say this is the rare instance where Trump's grotesqueness is deeply appropriate.

I’ve been calling this shit out for 20 years, have been beaten up and held at gunpoint got it, have been denounced by all sorts of “reasonable” folks, had my job and life plausibly threatened. If I can get over it to focus on fighting fascism, I bet you can, too,

Why are non-leading Democrats today, Harris, Obama, Newsom, Clinton and whatever they are all called, on the side of Gov. Waltz and in front of the protesters in Minnesota? That would be a statement.

ICE detained Arlit Maria Martinez on her way to work. 2 days later, her 15 yo son died of cancer. They wouldn't let her out to say goodbye. The family had planned to move back to Mexico prior to the cancer diagnosis but stayed for his treatment. Now, Mr Martinez has lost his wife to ICE & his son.

Yes. And do so not for the sake of those of us you berated but because, like David Brooks, your very failure in the past gives you credibility with many whom you misled now. If you were wrong, you have an opportunity to do a whole lot of right by saying so now.

"How the U.S. Government Used Your Taxes Last Year" #priorities 😦 #taxdayreceipt #eggsprice Source: ips-dc.org/2025-tax-day...
**Alt Text:**

Infographic titled "How the U.S. Government Used Your Taxes Last Year" shows a comparison of how the average U.S. taxpayer's federal income taxes were spent in 2024. It lists spending categories side by side to contrast social programs with military and related expenses. Key comparisons include:

- $1,658 for Medicare vs. $2,929 for the Pentagon budget  
- $446 for SNAP (food assistance) vs. $1,430 for Pentagon contractors  
- $306 for K-12 education vs. $322 for foreign military aid (including $73 to Israel), nuclear weapons, and F-35 jets  
- $120 for school lunches and child nutrition vs. $228 for deportation, border patrol, and federal prisons  
- $181 for temporary assistance to families in need vs. $3,453 for interest on federal debt  
- 1¢ for the federal Interagency Council on Homelessness vs. $5 for SpaceX contracts  

Text at the bottom states the average U.S. taxpayer paid $17,766 in federal income taxes in 2024. The source is listed as IPS-DC.org/2025-tax-day-receipt and the infographic is by @NationalPriorities x @So.Informed.
