Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

An unelected billionaire, with no actual Congressional authority or govt experience, has access to Treasury payment systems and sensitive information about millions of Americans who receive Social Security checks, tax refunds, and other payments.

Pritzker: "He promised he was gonna lower costs & make us safer. He's done none of it. I realize he's only been in office 2 weeks, but it's gotten worse, not better. You think grocery prices have gone down? No, they've gone up bc of what he's threatening or what he's already put in place"

Merrick Garland is not to blame for Trump’s return to power. The blame belongs with Mitch McConnell and SCOTUS for failing to serve as a check on abuse of power. My thoughts in The Contrarian.

The Fire Department is a socialist idea. Capitalism is the fight you have with your insurance company when they delay your claim or refused to pay. Don’t get me wrong, I have been a capitalist my entire life, but I understand the need for socialist ideas in government Do you?

The only thing that unites the GOP today is being Donald Trump's sycophants. Now it has spread to the billionaire class, legacy media and large corporations. They are throwing money at Trump. It is up to us to build and lead a new opposition movement.

Great letter in today's Guardian. What sort of free speech is prevented by factchecking, Zuck?

Mark Zuckerberg says 'fact-checkers have a liberal bias.' But facts are facts—they don't have a bias. What he's really saying is that liberals are factually correct more often... and somehow that's a bad thing. 🤔

$1,131,794,901 That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns. Well, the planet is burning. Don't let them look away.

While we’re banning books… Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar. Be. Like. Finland.

The combined net worth of America's twelve wealthiest people passed $2 trillion last year. 12 people. $2 trillion. Meanwhile, U.S. homelessness increased 18% in 2024. Our problem isn’t an issue of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding wealth inequality.

Not a day passes that someone doesn’t tell me that they are exhausted or, more candidly, afraid. It is okay to be tired and understandable to be afraid. Courage doesn’t come from being well rested and feeling safe. It is found in overcoming those emotions. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

California, a state of nearly 40,000,000 people, has the same amount of representation in the United States Senate as Wyoming, a state of less than 600,000 people. This is the direct result of a deal struck between slave states and free states in the 1700s. It’s time for that to change.

Thanks to Biden & Democrats for bolstering the IRS, it has recovered $4.7 BILLION from high wealth tax cheats, IRS criminal investigations & whistleblower cases. Now, Trump & his IRS appointee, Billy Long, want to turn the IRS into a "grifter's paradise." Seriously. Long wants to abolish the IRS. 😠
