50 billionaire families have already poured $600M+ into this year's elections — mostly in support of Trump.

That's only 0.6% of their total wealth. It essentially costs them nothing to drown our democracy in dark money.

@rbreich Wait until trump wants all of their money, he has to be the richest of the rich. Good luck if you think he will allow you to have more money than him. After all, isn't he God.

Tickets for Trump’s private fundraiser with the Beverly Hills elite started at $5,000.

A photo with Trump cost $40,000.

Roundtable seating was $100,000.

Becoming an event chair cost $250,000.

It's clear who Trump works for — and it sure as hell isn't the working class.

'because is the result of "voluntary and consensual sexual intercourse," students should not be allowed time off to get abortions. If the students disobey and miss class for care, the filing continues, the professors should be allowed to flunk students. Additionally, Bonevac asserts that he has a right to refuse to employ a teaching assistant who has had an abortion, calling such women "criminals."'

"Call it anomie or call it airsickness—we find ourselves in a land of confusion. Trump pays off a porn star and yet is hailed as a champion of Christian values. He mocks prisoners of war and calls dead soldiers 'suckers,' and his MAGA base is thrilled by his patriotism."

    While Speaker Mike Johnson thinks the threat from Russia is all fun and games, in Europe we now see Germany deploying 5,000 troops to Lithuania in its first permanent deployment since 1945.

    Understand that for eight decades, Germany had zero intentions of becoming a dominant military power, but Putin gives Europeans no choice.

    This is how real it is outside the MAGA bubble.

    The Trump tax cuts slashed the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%.

    But with new loopholes and special breaks, it's even worse.

    Massive corporations like Netflix, Bank of America, Citigroup, and others have paid an effective rate of less than 5%.

    The system is rigged.

    Via Will: "When a cargo ship took out a #Baltimore bridge, it also demolished the lies poisoning our #immigration debate

    The 6 migrant men who died weren't drug dealers or sex traffickers but hero dads filling potholes to give their kids a better life.

    This column meant more to me than anything I've written for a while. Here's an excerpt. Please take a moment to read the whole thing."

    If @willbunch wrote it, you should read it.©

    https://www.inquirer.com/opinion/baltimore-bridge-collapse-immigrant-deaths-20240328.html#loaded

    ‘When the Dali cargo ship demolished that bridge support on Tuesday. it also obliterated all the ridiculous lies and myths our demagogues have been spreading around immigration. There were no sex traffickers aboard the Key Bridge that night. Nobody was dealing fentanyl. They ‘were not “animals,” but fathers and husbands like Suazo and Luna, ‘whose wife occasionally showed up in her food truck to bring the men tacos and pupusas. They were filling potholes so their children could have an even better life. These six workers who perished were not “poisoning the blood of our country,” they were replenishing it. This is a moment of clarity when we need to reject the national disease of xenophobia and restore our faith in the United States as a beacon for the best people like Maynor Suazo. They may have been born all over the continent, but when these men plunged into our waters on Tuesday. they died as Americans.

    Waffle House reportedly deducts $3 from workers’ pay for each on-shift meal, even if they don't eat it.

    The policy could cost all Waffle House workers ~$30M per year.

    This is a company that already pays some workers as little as $2.90/hr before tips.

    #Trump said it would be a "bloodbath" if he didn't win this year's US presidential election.

    "You screw us & we'll screw you," he said. "It's very simple, very fair."

    Trump said he would hit cars made in Mexico by Chinese companies w/a 100% tariff, double the levy he has previously said he would put on automobiles made south of the US border.
