Ossoff: "How does American politics really work? It's coin operated. Money goes in, favors come out. It's been running on secret money, corporate money, billionaire money ... all of this gave rise to a depraved president who exploits this rot to empower and enrich himself"
Not Your Average Liberal @NotAvgLiberal Just read it. Spot On - An Aussie reply to Trump’s rant about ‘NATO not being there for us’: “Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage. You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail. Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates. Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
Wow. Check out this Aussie telling it like it is.

The FBI Director, the DC US Attorney, and the Secretary of Defense walk into a bar.
Apparently like every day.

WOO! John Eastman has been OFFICIALLY DISBARRED.
So if he posted an image of himself multiplying five loaves of bread and two fish into a feast for thousands, would he claim it was a depiction of himself as a caterer?
The effective federal corporate income tax rate:
1950: 50%
1990: 25%
2020: 13%
Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate.
That is how we will pay for it.
So glad to see someone so beautifully articulate what I think about almost every day….
Time line cleanser 😺
If you’re ever in ATL a visit to the aquarium is well worth your time. Give it least 1/2 a day. It’s truly awesome.

GAME CHANGER: Montana just found the "exit ramp" to kill Citizens United. They aren't waiting for the Supreme Court—they’re going around them. 74% of voters are on board and corporate lawyers are PANICKING. This is how we win. 🏔️💸 www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/army-secre...

Trump just gave up a lot of classified information in that briefing.
To be clear, he’s the president so he can do whatever he wants in that regard, but it’s not very smart.
Such lovely floofs 😺❤️
😹 I’m dying from laughter over here. Priceless.
Bobcat blows raspberries.
“Nature doesn’t need us. We need nature.
When the last wild space is paved for profit, no amount of wealth will restore the web of life that feeds and heals us.
Shift from exploitation to stewardship. The Earth will thank us — and so will our descendants. 🌱

“Better to die in Iran for your country and your pride,
Then to live in a nation that would ask you to be kind.”
Thank You Jesse Welles!
When an insurance company is deciding whether to pay for your medical treatment, it generates a file, which should contain all records associated with your case, including documents explaining why the claim was denied.
You have a right to see this file.

Oh. My. No words.
The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the super-rich control our political system, regular people don't have a voice. The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.
Ching la migra!

Absolutely right! That is what Republicans do — take credit for other people’s work.

I fucking hate him.
TOMORROW: Be a part of history! Show the world that the majority of Americans oppose the most corrupt, inept, criminal, orange "president" in U.S. History.
NO KINGS. Also: NO SERIAL LIARS/CONVICTED FELONS/ADJUDICATED RAPISTS & NO ILLEGAL WAR IN IRAN
Be there. Make your voices heard! 🇺🇸 ✊
