In 2025, Meta paid an effective federal tax rate of 3.5% — its lowest on record.
Meanwhile, Meta is pumping at least $65 million into super PACs to stifle regulation of AI and tech.

Why is Trump posting racist memes about the Obamas in the late hours of the night?
Because he's racist.
But this is also perhaps a sign that his ongoing mental decline is getting even worse. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQHLciC67V8

Now, Bezos saves $8 billion because of Trump's corporate tax cuts.
While 17 million Americans lose health care.

ICE’s tactics have been terrifying and tragic, but Minneapolis is responding in incredible ways. Residents are organizing, feeding and housing their neighbors, and putting real social infrastructure in place. What’s taking shape isn’t just a reaction, it’s a blueprint for resistance.

I have served as the lead Democrat on issues regarding the Western Hemisphere. I have seen governments go after journalists and silence free speech. Many thought it couldn’t happen here. What we’re seeing with the arrest of Don Lemon—an independent journalist—is another step toward authoritarianism.

Our billionaire Treasury Secretary called Denmark “irrelevant.” Hmm.
Unlike the US, in Denmark, health care & college are free, the starting wage is $22 an hour, paid parental leave is 1 year, paid vacation is 6 weeks & all workers get pensions.
That seems very relevant to me.
