MAGA GOP Governor Youngkin is trying to remove all mention of Dr. King from K-5 history books, while openly praising white supremacist terrorists.😐

Defund NPR is trending because apparently MAGA "free speech" advocates are upset that NPR is reporting accurately.

Billionaire👏🏽Philanthropy👏🏽Is👏🏽PR.

Yes $100M is a lot of money, but:
1) Bezos spent $5.5B to go to space for 4 min
2) Had Bezos & Amazon simply paid their taxes—that would've been ~$25B over the last 3 years alone

Taxation of billionaires > philanthropy from billionaires

The GOP appears to be realizing that the leopard that almost burned down the Capitol on January 6 because he couldn't be President anymore is willing to burn down the GOP if he can't have it too.

A reminder that we asked young people to turn out and they did. Latino voters leaned into Democrats. Black men voted overwhelmingly for Stacey. Abortion was top of mind for women. Black women continued to show up strong. The Party should not compromise on the priorities of those voters. They hold the future.

Reminder as you hear Trump whine about “election fraud.”

As President he set up a special election fraud commission to investigate & root out all the alleged fraud. 18 mo later he shut it down b/c they found 0 fraud & instead accidentally proved our elections are 100% secure.

It costs corps like @[email protected] ~$70 to produce a year’s supply of insulin. Yet the avg annual price of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $12K in 2022😳

A 17,142% markup isn’t inflation & it isn’t supply chain issues—it is 100% corporate greed.

Remember how Brett Favre likely stole $5M in MS welfare funds?

Turns out he's also a top investor in concussion drug companies that lied about their drug's effectiveness & got more than $2.1M in stolen MS welfare funds

Why hasn't Favre been charged yet?

Review shows Favre-backed drug companies overstated benefits, connections

Two concussion drug companies backed by Brett Favre and enmeshed in a massive welfare fraud case overstated their NFL connections and exaggerated the known effectiveness of their drugs during efforts to raise money, according to interviews and documents.
