Mitt Romney said the quiet part out loud: the rich should pay more in taxes.
The Wall Street Journal attacked him for it.
But he’s right—and ignoring the math is how democracies crack.

don’t understand why Jim Jordan is so afraid to let Jack Smith testify in public before his committee. He supposedly WEAPONIZED the federal govt against Donald J. Trump and his allies. Why won’t they bring that scoundrel who abused his power before the American people?!?
My preschooler is obsessed with Mean Girls, which reminds me of my own childhood obsession with Clueless. Both iconic. As a good Millennial, I’m thoroughly embracing this.
The house and senate have both expressed interest in investigating the strike on survivors of the first boat strike.
Both Hegseth and adm Bradley will need to answer some questions.
This is why a reminder to not follow illegal orders is important
Steve whitkoff is an actual traitor
Is it more awkward to walk in on a relative watching porn or OAN? Asking for a friend 🥴
I would decline to voluntarily cooperate. No way. Issue a subpoena and fight it out in court.
As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.
This administration lies so much they’re now doing pre-crime PR for illegal orders that haven’t even happened yet.
Here is my peace plan for Ukraine/Russia.
1. Russia gets the fuck out of Ukraine.
2. Putin goes on trial in the Hague.
3. Russia pays everyone for everything.
4. Trump gets impeached, convicted, and sent to jail.
Thanks for your attention to this matter.
Sen. Mark Kelly on MS NOW: "I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane. I've been nearly shot down multiple times … My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head, six people killed around her … We know what political violence is. And we know what causes it, too."
I’m really disappointed in Ontario pulling the Reagan tariff ad. I had hoped they’d have the huevos to keep it up in spite of the pressure from our wannabe dictator.
This is insane. If Obama did this the GOP would impeach
I hate the sad empty shell and the lost promise it represents. Sometimes I fantasize about winning the lotto or becoming ridiculously wealthy and reopening that plant. Maybe not for aluminum, but for something that would give families back a bit for what was lost.
For the striking workers. The strike didn’t work. The plant closed. So many people lost livelihoods, pensions and their promised futures. My mom had coworkers whose husbands were suddenly unemployed become the sole breadwinner on a pittance. All these years later it still enrages me. (2)
I think about this all the time. When I go to town to do my shopping, I drive past a closed aluminum plant. This once flourishing plant supported so many families. I vividly remember the strike. My best friend and I would hang out the side of my mom’s Nissan wagon screaming cheering our support (1)
Just took a listen, super rad!!! Thanks for the share!
So it occurred to me recently that Tamatoa in Moana sounds exactly like Tim Curry in Rocky Horror. After discovering that the inspo for the character was an impression of David Bowie, everything became clear. I find this absolutely hilarious.
When I was in high school my friend group was obsessed with the film Swing Kids. We were all big time into swing and would dance every day after class in the hall of the math building. After seeing their social media posts lately, I can’t help but feel so many of them need to rewatch that movie.
To say I’m furious would be an understatement. Fuck Trump and every mother republican. They just have to turn that knife a little more with everything I love.
Every morning since I was in late elementary, I’ve woken up to my local public radio station. The programming started with the BBC, and then went to Morning Edition. That had been my routine for so long, until this morning. In response to the GOP fuckery, they’ve changed their programming format.
Vibrio?!
After discovering that Sydney Sweeney was born in Spokane, grew up in North Idaho, and went to St. George’s, I’m fully on board with the extremely problematic American Eagle ad being entirely intentional.
Grief is such a weird thing. One moment you’re standing at the sink doing dishes, and then something triggers a memory, and suddenly you’re sobbing, nearly drowning in your own tears. Lord I miss her so much.
Guys, he wrote about their “beautiful secrets” to Epstein.
Sick ass predator.
He can’t defend the words he has to pretend the letter is fake because it’s that SICK.
What man would defend this behavior? BETAs
Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.
