  1. Absolutely. The answer is increasing revenue, by taxing billionaires fairly.

  2. DeSantis has skills? Does he really? Hmm....

  3. This theater is costing us money. The rating agencies don't think this is cute, they think it's irresponsible. And it is. When our credit rating is diminished, as it already has been, it costs us money. Vote the GOP out.

  4. Btw, PBS news hour on may 23rd shared statistics showing that the change in managing the interest payments on the deficit came in approx 2000. That makes sense, because that's when Clinton left office leaving a budget surplus, yet Bush gave that budget surplus away in a tax cut for the wealthy. Then the costs of Iraq and Afghanistan began, the housing crisis and great recession of 2008, and we're off to the races. Fix the tax code already. We have not been paying attention for 20 years. Stop blaming this on hungry desperate people who need food stamps.

  5. He's saying that these bizarre political threats around the debt ceiling have been normalized and the toxic strategy has been used too many times with disastrous results. We are losing credit ratings that cost us money to lose, maybe we might regain stature in 10 years, just because the GOP needed more CSPAN exposure. It is dangerous, but because we have been boiled, we are almost expecting it now and not as outraged. For my part, I remain outraged at this irresponsible behavior. Vote them out. 💙🌊💙🗽

  6. It is unrealistic to discuss a budget without considering revenue. Reverse the tax bill for the wealthy arranged by the pumpkin headed grifter that ballooned the deficit almost as soon as it was signed. More tax revenue equals paying down the deficit faster, problem solved. And people who are hungry can still use SNAP. You know, food for the hungry in an obscenely wealthy nation like ours??

  7. Fair tax rates for billionaires, problem solved. 🗽

  8. Wow. Not the best way to honor the passing of Tina Turner. RIP Tina, RIP the great Janis Joplin too. Gone too soon.

  9. Time to identify viable candidates to oppose each of these dangerously incompetent representatives. I think Santos will fall of his own weight, but it is important not to always assume that NYS is deep blue. I believe we lost 4 seats in NYS when we weren't paying attention. Boebert came within a hair of losing in 2022, and I heard that her opponent is going to try again in 2024. Let's give him more support to get him across the finish line. Let's begin searching MTGs district to find the blue dot in that red town who can defeat her. Do we really feel that she is unbeatable? Really? Let's do the work and get these fools gone. 💙🌊💙🦋🗽
