For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere.

It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

I think we need to take a step back and acknowledge the absurdity of House Republicans targeting their Epstein investigation on HILLARY CLINTON (who says she never met him!) while ignoring DONALD TRUMP (who Epstein described as his best friend!)

These are not serious people or good faith actors.

We are doing nothing to prevent the next Epstein.

Kinda weird that the party that controls the House, the Senate, and the White House claims there's rampant voter fraud.

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

Jayapal: To the survivors in the room, if you are willing, please stand. And if you are willing, please raise your hands. If you have still not been able to meet with this DOJ. Please note for the record that every single survivor has raised their hand.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Congress, it's time to start an independent commission to investigate and make sense of the Epstein Files.

The American public demands answers for everyone named in the files and accountability for the victims. It's time.

How deep does this go? Why won't the DOJ do their job? Investigate them.

If President Trump was serious about cutting down on government waste, fraud, and abuse, his administration would be targeting the Pentagon budget, not federal workers.

The Pentagon has failed 8 straight audits, yet they get more and more money.

Amid crippling housing costs, San Diego Unified has gone full YIMBY. Officials have greenlit proposals to build an unprecedented ~2,500 units on district-owned land. That would be a larger K-12 portfolio than any in the US and 3x what's been built in all of CA. It may just be the beginning.

Who is Trump instructing to arrest Obama here? Is he giving an order? If so, to whom? His AG? The FBI? A fantasy savior? His continued calls to arrest his opponents seek to condition the public to accept punishment by decree.

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

Screenshot of an X post by Omar Jimenez (@OmarJim…, 7h) stating that Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison says he doesn’t have the names of the agents who shot Alex Pretti, adding: “I’ve been a lawyer for 36 years. I’ve never seen anything like this before.” Below is a CNN video thumbnail showing a split screen: on the left, an older man in a black cap and glasses labeled “Brown | Business Owner,” and on the right, Keith Ellison in a suit. A CNN “LIVE” bug appears in the corner.

This is a cover up of a murder, led by our own federal government.

Councilmember presses hard on revised vacation rental tax, but will his changes persuade foes? The plan returns to a city council committee Wednesday, with the goal of presenting the proposed $8,000 tax to voters later this year.

If you live in San Diego, you could be supporting a measure to tax short term rentals so that they contribute to the infrastructure they profit from. This is a step towards ensuring our success is fairly distributed, and our roads and waterways can be maintained. timesofsandiego.com/politics/202...

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

Any NFL stadium do a moment of silence for Alex Pretti today? No?

Multiple stadiums did one for Charlie Kirk.

Hmmmm. I wonder why. 😡
