We shouldn’t make it optional for the super-rich to fund the government If they feel like it now and then. There’s a mechanism called “taxes.”

Great point on why it's better to vote early (starting today) than on E-Day (Nov 04). I just want to add: Z has a shot of getting over 50% of the votes, but that will depend on really high turnout, including a lot of first-time voters. So let's all sign up for one more shift: zohranfornyc.com/gotv

Trump: "I don't have any plans to call it after myself. That was fake news. Probably gonna call it the Presidential Ballroom or something like that. We haven't really thought about a name yet."

Donald Trump's puppet DOJ has no business screwing around with next month's election.

Sending the feds into California polling places is a deliberate attempt to scare off voters and undermine a fair election.

We will not back down. Californians decide our future — no one else.

the point of the ballroom obvs has nothing to do with aesthetics. it's to create an architectural structure to honor the patronage networks that currently dominate US politics. previous WH venues hosted maybe a couple of hundred people; this hosts nearly 1,000 rich donors.

The official statement from the MAGA White House as the US hits a rapidly increasing all-time high $38 trillion national debt, is:

“At this moment in time, the ballroom is really the president's main priority.”

Blue states should also put a freeze on paying federal taxes!

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it.

They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

I do not want a US senator who knowingly wore a nazi tattoo for years.

“Now you're telling me
You're not nostalgic
Then give me another word for it
You who are so good with words
And at keeping things vague
'Cause I need some of that vagueness now
It's all come back too clearly
Yes, I loved you dearly
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust
I've already paid…”

We already have plenty of evidence of what happens when things better left to governments — which in this case might decide to never flip the switch at all — are ceded to private industry.
