Had a look at income tax in 1945 and applied them to 2025 dollars. Unlike today, there are 24 brackets; 20 split differences between 100k+ up to 3.6M+

In other words, if you make under 70k, you wouldn't be taxed more than 25%. If you make 100k-1M, you might be taxed anywhere from 29-78%.

Good things are necessary and possible. Good things just happened. The real work begins now.
Keep everyone to their word and take our country back from the brink.

Republicans thought they had a permanent hold over young men. They didn't.

Spanberger wins men 18-29 by 14%, Sherrill by 10%, and Mamdani by a stunning 40%.

Lily Franklin just made history in Southwest Virginia! A former teacher turned lawmaker, she’s fighting for working families, world-class education, and a future where every child can thrive. Congrats, Del. Franklin!

"We know now that Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob. Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for me—and I welcome their hatred.” —FDR, 31 Oct 1936, NY

“We had to struggle with the old enemies of peace—business and financial monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, war profiteering. They had begun to consider the Government of the United States as a mere appendage to their own affairs."

Standing against genocide and apartheid is good policy and good politics!

At this point, anyone—a university, a law firm, a corporation, a Democrat—bending the knee to Trump is doing it because they want to, not because of any political reality.

Three facts:

1. Early voting in NYC 2025 is 5X what it was in 2021

2. Polymarket has Mamdani with a 96% chance of winning

3. Former NYC Mayor DeBlasio with an epic W T-shirt and vote

Between Sliwa and Brad Lander probably the best thing you can do as a public figure right now (even if you’re odious! like Curtis!) is lose gracefully being exactly who you are. People are desperate for dignity to make a comeback and they’ll reward you later.

“Big corporations and billionaires buy and sell politicians to rig a system against us.”

Michigan Senate candidate @abdulelsayed.bsky.social diagnoses the disease in our politics that created Trump: money.

Conservatism used to be about media and political elites who were in on the joke riling up the rubes for profit but they got displaced by people who really believe the propaganda so the entire right wing now is a human centipede of guys producing and consuming the same dreck

there is one of the largest mass hysterias i’ve ever witnessed in politics with people who hate zohran mamdani and it’s all going to be so much funnier when he wins

Even in my sleepy little precinct, we have a steady stream of voters coming through. Not huge, but more than usual for an off-year with no ballot measures or statewide implications. Why? Because we have three school board races, and those are the front lines as much as anywhere else.

On the ballot today:

-NYC: Mayor
-Minneapolis: Mayor
-VA: Governor, Lt. Governor, AG, and state House
-NJ: Governor
-PA: State Supreme Court
-GA: Public Service Commission
-TX: TX-18 U.S. House

This is a reminder of how crucial it is to vote up AND down the ballot.
