And now we are getting close to having the world‘s first trillionaire. That’s just nuts. Good for you, you won capitalism, and we all forgotten what an 80% marginal tax rate looks like? We had one under a republican president and the world did not end

Absolutely insane that every vote is a squeaker, and literally no one wants this bill but they don’t wanna get primaried. This bill is insane trash and will make everyone’s life worse except mine. And I don’t want the tax break. I want to pay for kids meals and Headstart with my taxes.

It’s so frustrating that there is this illusion that we are all 49%/49% right now. Us versus them, good versus bad, and it’s all because of the BS that is the electoral system. It’s very likely 70% versus 30% and we’re just not seeing representative government.There’s just no common sense right now

But he did not "select 'Black/African American'." He selected "Black *or* African American" AND "Asian" AND wrote in "Ugandan." He literally told them all he could about his true "ethnicity/race," which is literally what they asked for on the form.

Republicans just passed the most horrific and devastating piece of legislation in a generation, and establishment Democrats are spending their time attacking a fellow Democrat who doubled youth turnout and won the primary with historic numbers. Just Fantastic.

A photo of a hand holding a leather wallet, out of which is popping a physical card that is an advertisement for the film F1: The Movie.

@czeins boycott the movie, or at least don’t give them extra money… wait until it streams on Apple TV+

@czeins how much. We should fund & mail these to the VPs. Or give them out for free at cinemas.
