🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Rep. Jasmine Crockett just LAUNCHED her bid for the United States Senate, shaking up the entire Texas race.

Let’s do this, Jasmine! 😎✨

Hell. Yes.
Let’s go!!!

Jasmine Crockett didn’t just launch a #Senate run — she lit a match under Trump’s fragile ego. The ad is sharp, fearless, and pure Texas energy. If the GOP wants to play insult politics, she’s showing up bilingual in that language. Texas hasn’t felt this electric in years. Sen. Crocket? Yeah!

Remember—Billionaire philanthropy is PR

$6.25B is a lot of money. It’s also only 4.1% of the $152B Michael Dell has hoarded. If Dell paid the 37% tax rate on the wealthy he'd pay $56.25B—and still have nearly $100B, more than he'd ever need

Remember when we were going to "de-lever the public sector and re-lever the private sector".
“.. The US lost an average of 4k private-sector jobs per month over the last 3 months (ADP data), the first 3-month decline since the 2020 recession.”
