Plus more scattered throughout. Here's just some of the obvious quotes about it

DOL should clarify that a home office is not subject to OSHA regulations and that time to set up a home office is not compensable time or eligible for overtime calculations

They want to remove overtime pay for work from home

Congress should amend the NLRA to authorize collective bargaining to treat national employment laws and regulations as negotiable defaults. For example, this reform would allow a union to bless a relaxed overtime trigger (e.g., 45 hours a week, or 80 hours over two weeks)

Allowing labor laws to be negotiable is going to be used by companies to given worse labor contracts to unions and is a blatant attempt to weaken their power

Here's a decent article that includes some of the more conniving ways Project 2025 wants to gut overtime

Clearly others found my attempts to clarify it to be confusing too, so thanks for pointing out that it wasn't the best title

Ah, I misunderstood what you were saying. I suppose I presumed too much background from others about how private school vouchers worked. The school districts is the one paying for the private school vouchers. Their costs were higher because of private voucher funding

Changed the title again to hopefully be more clear

 

Changed headline from the site to be a bit more clear

Edit: to clarify the original headline makes it sound like taxes are 440% higher when it means taxes going to education are 440% higher

Edit 2: 2nd attempt of clarifying the title

Besides the obvious hypocrisy, one thing to get from this is that conservative leaders understand that you need to organize to win elections. Let's make sure they're out organized

Find how to register to vote for where you are

Find opportunities to volunteer for dems around you and online

Write letters to voters in swing states or in competitive downballot races

It's vote and build pressure. Doing only one of those will leave you in a bad spot

Not voting will leave you with republican who wants to bulldoze gaza and doesn't care what anyone thinks. Who's former white house advisor thoughts about the war was how gaza's waterfront properties were economically valuable. Who's planned response to peaceful protests is to deport US citizens protesting

 

They did create the account a few months ago but only learned about it somewhat recently

He cannot let it go. I mean recently when he noticed people leaving his rally he felt the need to claim that they were not really leaving his rally

Which was promptly met with people posting videos of them leaving the actual building too while you can hear trump speaking in the background

 

Ran into this site elsewhere online and thought some here might be interested in putting little sticky notes like those around

Independent of the campaign there's also a bluesky mirror someone set up but it doesn't have video mirrored. I know bluesky has only just recently started rolling out video support, however

In the presidental debate, Harris laid traps such as a short mention about his crowd sizes to get him to rant about that instead of anything else. Trump with his insecurities, fell right for it and did terrible at the debate.

Now Trump is trying to claim that didn't happen for the same reasons he fell for her traps in the first place

Also as a note in general:

As far as I can tell kamalahq account posts the same twitter posts to their threads account. So you can avoid going to twitter by just looking for the exact same post on threads

Crowd sizes for one thing
