The poorest people already pay little to no income tax, you’re just adopting a wider definition of who qualifies as the poorest.

You can’t be the serious adults in the room - that their fundraising emails insist they are! - while simultaneously putting forth these completely nonsense policy proposals. That said, the gas tax holiday feels like a Schumer job to me, and he’s jazzed about all this.
Why would prices be just as high?
I think Cervelli could absolutely be passable. Extremely underrated player and only 40 years old.
The Democratic Party will not benefit from a gas tax holiday that saves Donald Trump from the consequences of his actions (again).
That shirt involves so, so many choices that I personally would not make.
You have no idea how good I am at selectively ignoring text messages.
How is texting that much different from what you do here?
I lived with 1-hour service on weekends in Pittsburgh and it meant that in my two years of living there I took that bus like three times. Never going to be worth it.
Probably? Lol.
Imagine having better access to the truth than anyone else alive - perhaps anyone else to ever live - and being such a blowhard that you throw it all away in favor of dumb, transparent sycophancy.
Mike Johnson, letting a tax cut through?
Will they?
Extreme Chuck Schumer job here.

I know that for a lot of them it’s more of a vague sense of Jewish heritage thing than an Israel thing - many are only nominally Jewish - but I’m not sure that makes it better or worse.
What’s kind of messed up about this team in particular is that there approximately zero Israelis on the team and it’s all Americans who - in this environment, after everything! - elected to represent Israel.
Confidently calling a McCarthy line clunky seems like an AI tell to me.
I don’t think it’s that unlikely that he was driving an older truck??? I’m here for the war on cars (and recognize everything that’s wrong with modern trucks) but we don’t have a ton of info on this one.
Seems plausible that a teenager in a state that doesn’t need to salt their roads in a middle class town might not be driving a brand new F-150.
Yes?
Do we know what kind of truck he was driving? Because there are plenty of pickups that aren’t ridiculous.
But it logics out that Israel is a convenient target for the Islamic Republic, and in a proper democratic system the incentive to turn a rhetorical target into a literal one would be much reduced.
And rightly so, but it seems like a big gamble to assume that regime change - in this case, without a hand really guiding it and possibly without a regime changing - will get the results they’re looking for.
Which, ultimately, is the biggest issue with this whole adventure from a strategic perspective.
Not telling but asking: what happens if democratization results in an unfavorable outcome? Because I’m not sure if it counts as being pro-democracy only insofar as the guys you like win, and I’m not sure that’s a safe assumption in the Iranian context.
Here’s another one you might like then, focused on NYC: www.hup.harvard.edu/books/978067...
Just pay the fare.
What I’ve seen is a team of like six guys hanging out at one M60 stop and that being their one thing for an hour.
I think it’s the will to tell people that they have to pay and punish them when they don’t, which we struggle with on equity grounds.
