New in PN: Why MAGA is coming apart at the seams
"It’s far too early to know if Trump will share George W. Bush's fate. But unless he manages some remarkable turnaround in the public’s esteem, Republicans will continue to edge away from him, and his problems will only grow."

Traveling for the holidays?
If your flight gets delayed, canceled, or rerouted because the airline messed up, remember: the Trump Administration just killed the Biden-era rule that would've required airlines to pay passengers up to $775 in cash.

exactly the problem. I am retired but if I had my last job. I would use 42% of my income to pay federal tax state tax local tax property tax sales tax and social security taxes. The rich need to pay a larger percentage of taxes than me. They need to pay for the government and infrastructure they use
Even after the mansion tax is applied, the owner of a £5m home in Westminster will pay proportionately less in property tax than the owner of a £210k Band B property in Sunderland.

When a politician says: we’ll deregulate health insurance and send you a “freedom account” check, ask: freedom to buy what? If insurers don’t offer real policies or can cherry-pick only healthy people, that money is a coupon for a store that’s not open.

When 1 of my Greek grandfathers immigrated to America as a kid with his mom, they ran a small lunch counter in Cambridge, Maryland in the 1920s. The KKK destroyed their restaurant & forced them to leave town. But later, they opened another restaurant & those racist losers had to hide in the shadows.
In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

The subtext in JD Vance asking for "patience" on the economy: When leaders stop talking about current conditions and jump straight to rosy forecasts, they’re signaling the present isn’t defensible. That’s your cue to scrutinize the numbers, not just the narrative.

BREAKING: Billionaires in America now hold a record $7.6 TRILLION in wealth.
That's a $4.7 TRILLION increase since the last Trump tax scam.
Yes, wealth increase is a form of INCOME. And most of that income will never be taxed.
