For the bottom 40% of families, California taxes are LOWER than states like Florida and Texas.
In fact, 16 other states tax LOW-WAGE earners MORE than California taxes our HIGH-WAGE earners.
The evidence is clear, and the numbers don't lie.
Had to doublecheck the date on this
All of our living presidents who still have a sense of decency gathered to honor Rev. Jesse Jackson.
Respect recognizes respect.
Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"
Kristi Noem has been fired and replaced by the dumbest US Senator.
So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.
That's roughly $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
People do not want this.
They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
The need for congressional approval to declare war is “something of a brake on the process of entering into a conflict”—and “this weekend’s attack on Iran smashes through those limits altogether,” Quinta Jurecic argues.
Well would you look at that
So we’re just going to forget all about this and never ask Trump, Leavitt or Hegseth about it again after the first day because this is totally normal so who cares.
Insane.
A cartoon from the 1950’s that’s more relevant than ever 💔
I predict this man has a very bright future.

Y’all cracking me up with the “this is just a distraction from Epstein” like we can’t be outraged about an unnecessary war and still think he’s a pedo.
I dunno guys. I kinda feel like the administration overplayed their hand starting a war to distract from ICE to distract from the economy to distract from the Epstein Files...
It’s no coincidence that Trump finally pulled the trigger on his Iran war when the FBI files on him raping a 13 year old were finally being discussed in mainstream news room and at US kitchen tables. Clearly his nerves are wrecked.
Is this, too, from shaking lots of hands?
"The Peace President."
History??
Donald Trump???
Don't forget that Trump is so profoundly ignorant of history that his chief of staff Gen. John Kelly once had to explain to him the significance of … Pearl Harbor.

Hegseth: “We didn’t start this war, but under President Trump, we are finishing it.”
The truth: We did start this war two days ago. And now, apparently, we're not going to finish it in a way that will make it worth fighting. And we have a constitutional crisis.

Starting a war so you could invoke emergency war powers
When you’re incapable of empathy.
"That's the way it is," says the five-time draft dodger to our military families who fear their loved one in uniform could be next.
What a disgrace.
Optics.

Trump, last year: “If we happen to be in a war with somebody, no more elections. Oh that’s good.”
(As Trump begins military operations in Iran, the White House is threatening an executive order to nationalize elections)
Trump was asked about Iran tonight, and if he had any message to the families of the service members who were killed.
He ignored those questions, and instead commented on new statues that he has installed in the rose garden.
