[Holy Crap, I'd go for this!--Idepedant97] ========================================== Sens. Cory Booker, D-N.J., and Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., recently rolled out sweeping tax cut plans. Booker seeks to create a federal tax exemption for up to $75,000 in income for married couples. Van Hollen wants to set that figure at $92,000.

Los Angeles has spent more than $300 million on Inside Safe since Bass launched the program in December 2022, clearing scores of homeless encampments and moving about 5,800 people into interim housing " mostly hotels and motels.

US Senator John Fetterman (D-PA): "Someone asked me who is the leader of the Democratic Party? I said that's TDS, Trumpf derangement syndrome. They're increasingly defined by the exact opposite of what Trumpf says. If Trumpf supported ice cream on Sundays, Democrats would decide we have to vote that down as a bad thing. Every single Democrat should fully support Israel. They are now making choices to vote against defensive things like (Felon Musk's insider deal) Iron Dome."

Excerpts from former Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor-Greene's Easter Day social media post:

    In my head, I maintain this list. I call it the Dead To Me List, a compendium of performers who have shown or expressed support for Donald Trump. Anybody on that list will never receive another dime of my money or second of my time for any new project in which they are top-billed. Yes, I recognize the futility of this. No, I don't flatter myself that my one-man boycott will change anything or even be noticed. It's something I do for principle. Something I do for me.
