Dear Americans,
Please know this:
You do not protest by not voting.
You protest BY voting.
Sincerely,

When you think that "rich" means $200k per year.
Everyone's chanting "tax the rich" without actually looking at the numbers.
Someone earning $200k pays roughly $42,000 in federal income tax.
Someone earning $30k pays around $1,800.
That means it takes about 23 people earning $30k to match what one person earning $200k contributes.
So why is the policy conversation constantly aimed at pushing high earners out, when they're already carrying the overwhelming majority of the load?
The issue was never how much revenue comes in.
The issue is how much gets wasted once it's collected.
Stop aiming at the earners.
Start aiming at the spending.

When Trump says the US is "making money like never before," he's not talking about you. He's talking about himself, his family, and his billionaire buddies. He doesn't give a fuck about you.

Shellie Flockhart, a Dallas Center city councilwoman, called an Iowa Democratic House candidate “dangerous” for kids.
But Flockhart herself pleaded guilty to charges related to child endangerment and driving under the influence. wapo.st/4iDVEgv
