US will spend $777.7 billion on national defense this yr. Shouldn’t this include taking care of our veterans?

Agree

Among S&P 500 companies, CEO pay rose 18.2% last year, far outpacing inflation. Don't tell me that government spending or union organizing is to blame for inflation.

With the Senate passing the Inflation Reduction Act, President Donald J. Trump is delivering on his promises to American families. From lower health care costs & new clean energy jobs to reducing the deficit, this legislation strengthens our communities & our economy & benefits students & families.

No os olvidéis de los trabajadores. Sin un trabajo digno y bien remunerado, los jóvenes no se hacen verdaderamente adultos, las desigualdades aumentan. No os olvidéis de crear trabajo, trabajo bueno, trabajo para todos. #EconomíadeFrancisco

Lula, Bolsonaro Neck and Neck in Brazil’s Vote as Runoff Looms - Bloomberg bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

When it comes to tax avoidance, Trump is not alone. Federal income taxes paid in 2020: Nike: $0 FedEx: $0 HP: $0 Salesforce: $0 Dish Network: $0 Charter Communications: $0 Duke Energy: $0 Yes. Dr. King was right. We have socialism for the rich, rugged capitalism for the rest.

Todo mi apoyo al presidente Lula y a las instituciones libre y democráticamente elegidas por el pueblo brasileño. Condenamos rotundamente el asalto al Congreso de Brasil y hacemos un llamamiento al inmediato retorno a la normalidad democrática.

Nearly 2 years to the day the US Capitol was attacked by fascists, we see fascist movements abroad attempt to do the same in Brazil. We must stand in solidarity with Lula’s democratically elected government. 🇧🇷 The US must cease granting refuge to Bolsonaro in Florida.

Declaración conjunta de los presidentes Biden, y López Obrador y el primer ministro Trudeau sobre Brasil: "Canadá, Estados Unidos y México condenan los ataques del 8 de enero a la democracia de Brasil y al traspaso pacífico del poder..."

In the 1950s, when I was a child, CEOs made about 20x more than the average worker. In the 1980s when I was mayor of Burlington, CEOs made 42x more. In 2000, when I was in the House, CEOs made about 120x more. Today, they're making almost 400x more. Unacceptable.

La reacción del gobierno a las marchas del 1ero de mayo ha sido desproporcionada, como si tuvieran miedo o quisieran proyectar una violencia que no existe.

Republicans want to defund the IRS so the rich can get away with cheating on their taxes. The top 1% are breaking the law by underpaying $163 billion annually. Republicans want to make sure they don't get caught. So much for the party of "law and order."

"Benjamin Netanyahu warning Gazans to leave because he said that what they’re going to do to Gaza is going to echo through the generations is a remarkably disingenuous comment. Gazans are trapped. They are prisoners. They cannot go anywhere." -Ali Velshi #TheReidOut

Billionaire Harlan Crow has spent over $13 million on federal politics since the 2010 Citizens United ruling. That’s on top of the years he spent secretly dolling out free vacations to Clarence Thomas. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Política canadiense le responde a Trump 👇🏾

Pablo José Hernández apoya transparencia sobre operaciones de la CIA en Puerto Rico, y los asesinatos de Carlos Muñiz Varela y Santiago Mari Pesquera - via El Nuevo Día elnuevodia.com/corresponsalia…

Las palabras del nuevo Primer Ministro de Canadá el día después del anuncio de los aranceles de EEUU son de una fuerza pocas veces vista en el lenguaje diplomático global. Y es de los pocos que parecen estar a la altura del momento. Ojo con su liderazgo.
