UNREAL: CONGRESS JUST TEED UP A NEW BILL STRIPPING PGA TOUR’S TAX-EXEMPT STATUS 🚨
Just a day after the PGA Tour shocked the entire world by announcing it would be merging with the Saudi-owned LIV Golf Tour-a for-profit venture-a Congressional bill has been introduced to strip the tour of its tax-exempt status.
Rep. John Garamendi (D-California), the third-ranking minority member on the House Armed Services Committee, proposed the “No Corporate Tax Exemption for Professional Sports Act,” which would put an end the PGA Tour’s ability to file as an IRS 501-C organization, as it has done for decades.
What are your thoughts? Should the PGA lose its tax exempt status?

I appreciate Governors like Gavin Newsom thinking outside of the box on gun reform, like his idea proposing a 28th Amendment that would ban access to assault weapons and raise the age of ownership to 21.
Will some Republicans HATE it because they're owned by the NRA? Absolutely.
But more of us, DEMs, Republicans, and Independents, are looking for action and leadership, and we care that kids are being gunned down in schools and stores and everywhere.
And it's better than doing nothing. We need more Governors like Newsom.

@PaulDitz I’m liberal, not a Democrat, having a hard time remembering when Dems had huge majorities. That was before LGB was normalized and now T is causing some portion of Americans to lose their minds. Normalization will continue, the moral straight jackets will be removed, acceptance gained, and if we are pragmatic, we need a party that can win, and insure that modern Conservatism is minimized. At TPIT Dems appear to have the best chance achieving it, but I’m open to workable alternatives.

This is big. This ruling will cause all gerrymandering to stop.

So it seems that Pat Robertson's body finally noticed its soul was already dead and decided to catch up.

Good morning!
The PGA Tour would like to remind us 15 of the 19 9/11 hijackers were from the same country which gave Jared Kushner TWO BILLION DOLLARS. Saudi Arabia

It's unclear if the anti-LGBTQ House speaker knew that Willa Cather, who just got a statue in the U.S. Capitol, was in a 40-year relationship with a woman.

I hate seeing ppl misdirect their hostility so for the record the fires in Canada are happening bc of climate change not bc of Canadians. If you want to be mad at someone be mad at the corporations that have been destroying our planet for years and the governments that have been letting them do it, not our Canadian neighbors.

Alabama's population was 48% black in 1877.
It was 25% black in 1992.
Here is a graph of the number of black people elected to represent Alabama in the US Congress, between 1877 and 1992:

California Governor Gavin Newsome is proposing a 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution to help end our nation’s gun violence crisis.
The American people are sick of Congress’ inaction.
The 28th will enshrine 4 widely supported gun safety freedoms -- while leaving the 2nd Amendment intact:
1) Raising the minimum age to purchase a gun to 21
2) Universal background checks
3) A reasonable waiting period for gun purchases
4) Banning the civilian purchase of assault weapons
I agree.
The Supreme Court on Thursday ordered Alabama officials to redraw the state's congressional map to allow an additional Black majority district to account for the fact that the state is 27% Black.
