Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

If this plane accident happened under Biden, Trump and Fox News would be calling for criminal prosecution of Biden. I'm just taking a page from the GOP playbook. Trump and Pete Hegseth need to be criminally investigated for this. The buck stops with the boss!

To our faithful public servants across America: HOLD THE LINE -- do NOT resign. Stay in your job, keep reporting for duty, and make them fire you. Because they CAN'T fire you - it's ILLEGAL - and we will stop them in the courts. WE'VE GOT YOUR BACK.

We're trapped in a game of Monopoly where oligarchs own all the property and the rest of us are simply making our way around the board trying to avoid financial ruin. They've also bought the bank and the government, so they can change the rules to their liking. It's game over or time for a reset.

When Donold can’t lower egg prices, he and his cult will simply blame Biden and the Democrats. There is no amount of suffering and misery that will change their minds, until they are living under a dictatorship. They eat a shit sandwich everyday and say “thank you, sir, may I have another?”

Last night, we evacuated just five of the harder #horses to load as the wind is bad and a new fire started closer to us - #KennethFire started by #arson. They seem to have a good handle on it. Evacuation orders were quickly lifted, but we wanted to be safe and at least have some horses elsewhere.
