And then Reagan came along

In 1994 Reagan lowered the top income tax Raye from 70% to 28%
Then he imposed the first ever tax on social security benefits to make up for it.

Neguse: "What Trump is attempting to do is create a perception that he has all the power & create a sense of hopelessness or helplessness in the public. We've gotta resist the temptation. He's electorally unpopular. In fact, the most unpopular POTUS at this juncture than any modern POTUS in history"

Attention Republicans: there will be no such thing as a “safe seat” when your constituents find out their healthcare premiums are doubling.

Trump states will get hit hardest, and your voters think you don’t care.

The American people deserve a public health system that puts science before politics.

That's why California and 14 other governors are joining forces to launch the Governors Public Health Alliance to protect communities and guarantee decisions are rooted in data and health.

Fauci never said the covid vaccine would prevent cases. The point was to pump up your immune system so you wouldn't die from contracting the virus. That's why the vulnerable (elderly) and those with a higher risk of exposure (medical staff) were the first to receive the shots.

I can’t imagine going through this as an adult, let alone as a child. 😔

Some allegations where made, he was arrested, and possessed a knife, but what does ICE have to do with that? It’s a local law enforcement issue. And what about DUE PROCESS?

Shillbilly Shady Vance’s response to GOP youth joking about gas chambers, r*ping enemies, and calling Black people “watermelon people”?

“Grow up… focus on real issues.”

There’s no “realer issue” than Nazis in your party’s group chat.
This is a product of their regime.

Gerrymandering silences voters. The PA Supreme Court stuck down one of the most rigged maps in America & restored fair representation for Black communities around Philly.
Now billionaire extremists want revenge. Don’t let them win

Even Marjorie Taylor Greene is blaming her own party for the shutdown. When MTG admits Republicans screwed up, you know it’s bad. She knows healthcare is on the line—and so do we.

1968- Nixon tells N. Vietnam not to negotiate peace b/c he will give them a better deal.
1980-Reagan tells Iran to hold the hostages until after the election leading to Iran Contra.
2024- Trump calls Netanyahu & tells him to reject Biden's peace deal so he can win the election.

Mike Johnson said he can’t reopen the government until after the no kings protests because the democrats are “too rabid.” Lmao. First we’re snowflakes. Now we’re rabid. Make up your mind, Mikey.

There's always been a fight over the true story of America. I believe deeply in the story that says we’re all created equal, and that if we can treat each other with decency and respect, all of us will be better off.

I talk about this and more on the final episode of WTF with Marc Maron. Watch now:
