NBC editing out the booing of JD Vance is a disgrace. It’s an international event. Americans have the right to know what the world is saying. NBC has bowed down to Trump.

Thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill, Amazon saw its corporate income taxes shrink by more than HALF last year, even as its profits climbed.
But instead of investing the savings into their workforce, Amazon just announced thousands of layoffs and plans to spend $200B on AI.
Textbook corporate greed.

The IRS is being gutted under Trump — which is great news for any rich tax cheats who want to dodge what they owe.
And instead of fixing this, Trump is of course suing the agency for $10 billion dollars — which will come out of the taxpayers pocket.
The grift never ends.

Taxpayer services are, unsurprisingly, in worse shape as lawmakers gut the IRS.
Filing your taxes should be easy, fast, and free. But it seems that the Trump administration is working to do the opposite.

In the historically anti-union South, the UAW just secured a landmark contract with Volkswagen.
The workers won major wage increases, job security against outsourcing, and higher-quality healthcare.
Congratulations to these workers, and remember: there is always hope in labor.

A few years ago, the IRS got additional funding. What happened? More audits of wealthy tax cheats and better customer service for everyone else.
Fast forward to now and the IRS is so understaffed and underfunded that it’s using HR employees to process tax returns.

CEOs are paid 280x as much as a typical worker.
We're subsidizing huge corporations that pay lousy wages through food stamps and Medicaid.
But instead of cracking down on corporate greed, Republicans want to punish the working poor.

One of his corporations acquired another one of his corporations.
Meanwhile, Elon's companies pay next to nothing in federal income taxes and get billions of dollars in government contracts.

2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.
