You misspelled “Russia”.
What’s actually going on in Ukraine is that there is a massive incentive difference between the elites and the people. The former have grown very rich off the hundreds of billions flowing to Ukraine, while the latter’s children are conscripted to die in trenches.

Why would Trump end a program that saves you money by letting you file your taxes for free with the IRS? Maybe because TurboTax's parent company donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration. Call it out for what it is: corruption.

Trump stole $1.4 billion from U.S. households last year via a Ponzi scheme known as Trump Coin. In doing so, he made more money on crypto than any of the nation's largest crypto firms. This is what a corrupt regime looks like.

We’re cooked until we have leaders that don’t make half of the country feel like the other half is their enemy.

Destroying the @InternetArchive's @WayBackMachine would be the equivalent of the burning of the Library of Alexandria - one of the worst losses of knowledge in history. Media giants are now threatening to do this. We can't let this happen. Pass it on.

I don’t think people realize how much healthcare costs are driving big companies to fire and not hire. It costs them $30k per family, per year for premiums and care. Most of that goes to the massive, vertically integrated insurance companies that send weekly bills that no one reviews in details. And it doesn’t include the company overhead to deal with it all. It’s usually the 2nd largest expense after payroll. Which is insane It’s far easier to blame AI than it is to blame Healthcare costs. Want to increase jobs, wages and improve affordability for every American ? Break up the biggest insurance companies. Make divest non insurance companies. They don’t need thousands of subsidiaries. That’s how they game and abuse the system and increase costs for all of us. Call your senator and tell them to support the BreakUp Big Medicine Bill by @HawleyMO and @SenWarren.

Congress is about to pass the massive internet censorship bill called KOSA and repeal Section 230. This hands them unlimited authoritarian powers to control all online information. The time to rally pressure is NOW.

I'm old enough to remember when an American's right to bear arms—even while protesting—was something the right all believed the federal government must never infringe upon. ICE shot a man in the back while he was restrained. We need our leaders to lead right now—deescalate.
