Funny how wealthy Americans will readily accuse Biden of “buying votes” with student debt forgiveness but had no issue with Trump signing massive tax cuts for themselves.

One would have thought that Israelis would have more understanding of the death and suffering of innocent women and children than most.

Trump’s tax giveaway added $2 trillion+ to the deficit.
Making them permanent would cost $3 trillion.
More than 60% of the benefits would go to the richest 20%.
He’s now eyeing a second round of corporate tax cuts.
Does that sound like a champion of the working class to you?

The only work Trump is familiar with is trying to stay out of jail and pleasing Putin.

No argument more offensive than "We can't let you do this thing the Constitution says because then the GOP might do something for fake reasons."

They already do whatever they can get away with for fake reasons.

They wrote a new 2nd amendment because they didn't like the real one.

The GOP is all for state's rights unless they don't like the rights.

The GOP also has a very narrow, self-serving definition of "pro-life"

"The D.C. Circuit has just ruled that Donald Trump is not immune from prosecution.

Let’s get one thing straight: it’s not radical to prosecute a former president if he actually broke the law.

“No one is above the law” is only true if we make it so."

@rbreich
Trump's strategy of delay is based on two things: He knows he has to stand trial, and he knows he's guilty.

Ginni Thomas's texts to Mark Meadows proved that she was a Big Lie fanatic. She even believed the “Biden Crime Family” belonged in "Guantanamo” for “ballot fraud.” And her husband is supposed to be impartial when he rules on whether Trump engaged in insurrection? Give me a break!

Anyone thinking that Conservatives on this Court will do the right thing have to remember that several of them perjured themselves during confirmation hearings.

My dog has invented her own game. She slowly and playfully edges her stuffed animal off the side of the bed until it falls off, then runs off the bed to get it and starts again.

Sort of sounds like the conservative's policy playbook.

Conservatives have convinced their base that the economy is in tatters based on the fact that US inflation is a fraction of what other countries are suffering.

Ginni Thomas was directly involved in efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Her consulting firm also stands to gain if Trump is re-elected. Yet Clarence Thomas refuses to recuse himself from the Colorado ballot case. This should be a scandal of epic proportions.

@rbreich
There are so many scandals of epic proportions that it's hard to keep up, and most of the media is trying to normalize it.

Reminder that the supposedly "pro-life" states with the most restrictive abortion laws, also have the weakest social services for women and children. The right-wing agenda isn't about life, it's about control.

“For too long, some banks have charged exorbitant overdraft fees — sometimes $30 or more — that often hit the most vulnerable Americans the hardest… Banks call it a service — I call it exploitation.” -President Biden on a new rule to limit bank overdraft fees.

@rbreich
Banks used to be a place to store one's money, but they've become places to have it siphoned away.

The Supreme Court is hearing two cases that could upend federal regulations designed to protect us.

Big corporations are salivating for a ruling that goes their way.

Here’s what you need to know.

Conservatives wailed about judicial activism...until they held the court majority.
