Amazon just saved nearly $8B on its 2025 tax bill — despite profits hitting $90B — thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill.

Remember: Amazon spent $75M producing and marketing the Melania movie, while Jeff Bezos gave $1M to Trump's inaugural fund.

Quite a return on investment, huh?

“[James Talarico] was supposed to be here, but we were told in no uncertain terms by our network’s lawyers, who called us directly, that we could not have him on the broadcast,” Colbert said.

Third world America.

After firing 100+ immigration judges and revoking protected status from legal immigrants, the Trump regime now wants to strip citizenship from hundreds of naturalized Americans every month.

Trump never cared about “legal immigration" — just inflicting cruelty.

The extra-extreme members of the House Budget Committee voted "present" tonight so that the Medicaid-cuts-to-fund-tax-giveaways-for-the-rich bill could pass out of committee 17-16.

Tomorrow, flood Capitol Hill switchboards to voice your opposition to this monstrosity.

(1) This is the “day that will live in infamy” as predicted by FDR. The attack on Pearl Harbor in Oahu, HI killed nearly 3K and “awoke the Sleeping Giant” as Japanese Admiral Yamamoto predicted….

A little known fact about Pearl Harbor is that FDR was at an MD appt on 12/7/41. So he tasked his wife Eleanor with giving the 1st national response 2 the attack.Her words show how aware she was of the tremendous sacrifice & loss the country was in for.

Hi Friends,
