Buffett’s annual letter is out — and includes this message to “Uncle Sam” about the tax Berkshire will pay: “Spend it wisely. Take care of the many who, through no fault of their own, get the short straws in life. They deserve better.” 🇺🇸 www.berkshirehathaway.com/letters/2024...

This is how it’s done.

So, Trump, who apparently seeks monarch status, posts this image of himself on social media as he calls Ukraine’s Zelensky a dictator and parrots Russian strongman Putin.

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

A 10% universal tariff on $3.25 trillion of annual US merchandise imports would potentially raise ~$300 billion. Last year, US personal income tax brought in nearly 30x that.

www.bbc.com/news/article... So weak and predictable of Trump and by extension all of us Americans.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

First nuclear weapons management, now this. No one - Democrat or Republican - voted for this kind of incompetence.

Math is hard

Van Hollen: "Can you imagine FDR in the middle of WW2 saying to Churchill, 'you know, we're not going to continue to help you until you turn over half of your coal and mineral reserves.' That's not how you behave when you want to support a friend who's under attack by an authoritarian like Putin."

“Chancellor Olaf Scholz of Germany on Saturday accused Vice President JD Vance of unacceptably interfering in his country’s imminent elections on behalf of a party that has played down the atrocities committed by the Nazis 80 years ago.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/w...

If you’re looking for mapping and navigation alternatives. HERE WeGo – developed by a consortium including German automakers (Audi, BMW, and Mercedes). It offers reliable navigation, offline maps, and public transit information. Highly recommend deleting Google & Apple Maps. Sorry, Mapquest.

These morons fired people who protect nuclear weapons without thinking about it. Thank you, Trump voters.

This UNBELIEVABLE 15-year-old with college and masters degrees is in medical school working on a doctorate,,, but federal funding has cut off her research and scholarships. We NEED more doctors,,, especially little black and brown girls to grow up believing they can be anything. gofund.me/1549247a

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver to announce the NBA Africa Dikembe Mutombo Humanitarian Award, a new annual honor recognizing a person or an organization that works to advance health, education or economic opportunity across Africa.  Mutombo was the NBA’s first global ambassador.

This is the way.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet. They make sure we have clean water. They protect us from financial fraud. They provide healthcare to our communities. They make our government actually work for people. Do not forget this.

And…that’s that:

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]
