President Trump’s lawless tax giveaways are costing America big-time.
Why is he giving billions to corporations while families are forced to choose — put food on the table or fill a kid’s prescription? Keep the heat on or save for Thanksgiving turkey?
This rank corruption knows no bounds.

Since this administration loves to charge people with making false statements (see, e.g., Comey, James), I assume they will be charging Maxwell for lying to Blanche and the FBI agents who interviewed her, right?
Ghislaine Maxwell lied about Trump never going to Epstein's house (directly contradicted by her email correspondence with Epstein), and she was rewarded for that lie with a transfer to a cushier prison. The coverup is happening in plain sight.

Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004.
Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.
