Can we also do this with high speed rail? We can call it the trump train whatever who cares
This is a message for @realDonaldTrump.
Donald, this is on the table. Guarantee healthcare for every American, from cradle to grave.

They all made it to work for the photo op.
How does this help American families afford healthcare or stop rampant government corruption or end the illegal war?

Some companies use your personal data, like browsing history, to serve different prices to different costumers. It’s called surveillance pricing, and we just banned it in New York City.
This tweet will say the same thing in incognito mode, don’t worry.

Because you instructed 11 Democrats to miss the vote to impeach him, AIPAC bitch.
John Marks retweeted
Because your whip hosted an AIPAC-adjacent PAC event at the same time so they would miss the vote. Your whip literally planned this.

When are CT electric rates going down, @GovNedLamont?

New technologies increase productivity, but you don't get a shorter work day. Lifespans increase, but the retirement age gets pushed back. Under capitalism, every advancement just leads to further exploitation.

America’s 706 biggest corporations paid an average federal tax rate of just 10.4% on $1.88 trillion in US profits last year, per the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy.
That’s the lowest rate in more than 40 years of the group’s research, below even the 11.2% after Reagan’s tax cuts in 1982, and less than half the official 21% rate.
114 of the companies paid nothing at all, including Tesla, Disney, CVS, Citigroup, United Airlines and DoorDash.

The 49ers have been an inch away from the most important Super Bowl win in team history almost a dozen times in the last 15 years so yeah the trade deadline is kind of important when half the team is on IR.

🚨This morning we reached the required 218 signatures on my discharge petition for Epstein Files Transparency Act II !
I’m working closely with @RepJayapal, @RepTeresaLF and @RepRoKhanna to get this to the floor for a vote soon.

Isn’t it fascinating how literally not a single technological advance has actually saved people work? We’re more productive now than ever and yet retirement is a bigger fantasy now than half a century ago
"As lifespans increase, people have to prepare, mentally and financially, to work well into their 70s and 80s," per WSJ
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Annual working hours per worker fell from over 3,000 in 1870 to around 1,800 today in the US amid productivity gains from technology. Men's average retirement age is 64.6, near 1960s levels.

Purdy literally led three straight scoring drives in the 4th quarter in OT and left the field with the lead in the biggest game of his life

Gamblers don't get write-offs when they make bad bets and neither should the AI industry.

Banks collapsed → taxpayers paid.
Automakers failed → taxpayers paid.
Airlines grounded → taxpayers paid.
PPP loans? Forgiven. When the rich fail, the government writes a check.
When you fail, they tell you to pull yourself up. Socialism for the rich.
Personal responsibility for everyone else.

Once again, Israel is buying the outcomes of our elections to protect Pete Hegseth and the Iran war.
Anyone who takes a penny from the Israel lobby is a national security threat.
BREAKING: The 11 House Democrats who missed the vote that killed Thomas Massie's Hegseth impeachment resolution have all received significant pro-Israel AIPAC money in Congress.
Just seven of them voting against the referral motion would have flipped the 211-204 result.
Haley Stevens (MI): $15.9M
Laura Gillen (NY): $551K
Marilyn Strickland (WA): $371K
Steven Horsford (NV): $214K
Nancy Pelosi (CA): $166K
Julia Brownley (CA): $134K
Brittany Pettersen (CO): $125K
Lou Correa (CA): $80K
Frederica Wilson (FL): $39K
Melanie Stansbury (NM): $28K
