For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

We are so screwed

“The Golden Age of America”

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Excellent post

I don't think we can share the side-by-side of Elon Musk doing the Nazi salute next to Nazis doing the Nazi salute enough.

Please find another source. I refuse to look at anything from the WP. Behind a paywall even if I did, and I'm sure as hell not going to give them 1 dime of my money.

30 minutes and we'll swear in a convicted felon, sexual assaulter and fraudster as president of the United States. Nothing can make this ok.

When you have to go back to 1992 to find a prominent Democrat to equate Hegseth with, that’s not exactly helping your argument.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Sounds like a perfect presidential candidate in 28. All the best people.

All the best people

One finds joy wherever one can this holiday season.

The world's richest man managed to take $190 million away from a *child cancer research center* with his posts yesterday. Funding now stripped in the new bill.

Jeffries: In our nation's history, 25% of our nation's debt was accumulated during the four years of the former president, 25%. How dare you lecture America about fiscal responsibility ever.

So does President Musk get sworn in the same day as Trump?

This cover is more like it.

With covid currently hitting my family again, I wonder how many Trump will let die this term with his inept administration.

Here's a simple rule: No FBI background check = no confirmation.

Instead of the pardon nonsense, the legacy media should be covering the North Carolina Supreme Court recount where the Republican candidate is seeking to disqualify more than 60,000 lawful ballots and to disenfranchise entirely certain dependents of overseas and military voters.

We need these people to come here: Andrew Weissmann Lisa Rubin Jack Smith Angry Staffer Claire McCaskill Rachel Maddow Maya Wiley Lawrence O’Donnell etc etc

1776-2024 May she rest in peace

The GOP loves blaming the deficit on Social Security and Medicare. But the real culprit is giveaways to corporations and the rich. If not for the regressive tax cuts under Bush and Trump, we would have a stable debt-to-GDP ratio. That's one thing the GOP will never tell you.

Just a casual reminder that Germans who “didn’t bother to vote” in 1932 didn’t get a chance again until 1946, after Hitler’s death. — There’s a lesson there.

blinded by the white

Fun fact -- Mike Roman, the Trump co-defendant in Georgia who lobbed the disgusting smear campaign against Fani Willis, has now just been indicted AGAIN, this time in Arizona. FAFO.

Clarence Thomas hearing Trump's immunity case, when his wife Ginni was directly involved in efforts to overturn the 2020 election, tells you everything you need to know about the Supreme Court's new code of "ethics." It's a sham.

Jesus could come down from above and give a sermon confirming that Joe Biden is not corrupt and shouldn't be impeached, and House Republicans would respond by accusing God of being part of the cabal protecting the Bidens. It is what it is.
