Look at this chart.
Tax cuts for the rich are a policy choice. Cutting the social safety net in exchange for them is a policy choice.
States like New York have an opportunity to help undo this trickle down nonsense by raising taxes on the rich (who will still be rich).
I hope Gov. Hochul does.

I am not in favor of starving people as a means to fight/end a war.
Netanyahu says he’s 'saddened' by images of an IDF soldier defacing a crucifix in Lebanon.
But if he truly cared about attacks against Christians, he’d end rampant settler violence against them in the West Bank & harassment in Jerusalem.
Being sad isn't enough, DO SOMETHING!
AP-NORC poll:
Only 33% of U.S. adults approve of Trump's overall job performance
30% approve of his handling of the economy
32% approve of Trump's leadership on Iran
What Trump is doing to the world economy….
Yup.
A win! A judge just blocked the Trump admin from strangling hundreds of wind and solar projects nationwide. Chief Judge Denise Casper issued a preliminary injunction, striking down a policy that required every wind and solar project to get personal sign-off from Interior Secretary Doug Burgum.
Republicans complaining about a reporter talking over them. Republicans do nothing but talk over everyone!
10 years of ICE funding! This is crazy! I don't want them having extra money to terrorize us for 10 more years!
NEW: Two local men promised to build housing with a 3D printer.
That didn’t pan out. When reporter Molly Parker started to investigate what went wrong, she found the printer disassembled on a flatbed truck at a country repair shop.
Then things got weird.

I hope blue states sue and subpoena the CDC for this report. Their constituents deserve to have what is literally life saving information being held back by Trump's barbaric extremists.

My God, does someone suspect that Donald J. Trump might be dishonest?
For the record: The Washington Post can go fuck itself.

Devastating numbers for Trump.
The Trump administration is kicking 150,000 Illinoisans off of SNAP on May 1.
He's ripping away help from Illinoisans as the cost of their groceries, gas, and utilities continues to rise.

Wow.
Vivek has blown through $20M—including millions on TV—with nothing to show for it as Ohioans continue to reject his scams.
Now in full panic mode he’s about to burn through a lot more.
We won’t be bought.
Mayor Mamdani and a group of children hold hands while running through red tape in a hallway.
For too long, bureaucracy kept 7 child care centers across our city empty — spaces that should have been alive with laughter instead collected dust.
We've run through that red tape. This fall, all 7 will open their doors, bringing an additional 240 free 3-K seats & real relief to working families.

The SPLC has been at the forefront of exposing some of America's most notorious hate groups, like the KKK. The fact that the Trump Admin feels threatened by that speaks volumes.
