"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." - Robert Reich

"Why are Trump and Musk's DOGE planning to lay off 7,000 IRS employees in the middle of tax season? The richest 1% evade as much as $163 billion a year in taxes. A defanged IRS means a tax evasion free-for-all for the ultra-rich. Connect the dots." - Robert Reich

It's flat out embarrassing. Listen to the eloquence of von der Leyen, Macron, Trudeau and compare it to our president.

Republican senators are traitors to the international order that has kept this country safe for the better part of eighty years. They are traitors to their own constituents. They are traitors to everything that has actually made America great.

After the felon's ring kissing of his master, Türkiye's stepped in and made the US less relevant on the world stage. Türkiye hasn't forgotten the 1850's after all.

A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, our healthcare, and the information we receive. Many are now currying favor with Trump to avoid accountability and maintain their power. This is what oligarchy looks like.

"I’m suffering serious fax-withdrawal already." I love fiction that dates itself. This novel doesn't make the tech a critical story element, like Good Omens and cassette tape answering machines. Still fun like "slammed down the phone."

Quite an exchange here between Judge Reyes and DOJ attorney on how "pronoun usage" affects military readiness.

A friend from the VA just sent this and asked me to share. PMDB is Prevention and Management of Disruptive Behavior in the workplace. THIS is the real war against women: being forced to say there are only 2 genders but not being allowed to mention 96% of violence is perpetrated by men.

Military true patriots, you know what you probably have to do soon.

Nazis. They are hiding it less and less.

The EU has called an emergency summit about Trump aligning with dictatorship rather than democracy in Russia/Ukraine war. They know Putin, backed by the US, will not stop at Ukraine unless there’s a strong democratic alliance to stop them. For lovers of democracy, the US are no longer the good guys.

These are the same people that claim they need cheap H1-B workers because we're to dumb and lazy. They contract with companies, who pay their employees far less than they bill. They also gain equity in the companies, so some of the fees drop into their pockets. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

From now on, start calling tarifs sales takes. That's what they are. T just gets to pick and choose who has higher taxes.

Popular culture has been progressive for msby many decades. If you don‘t get it, YOU have abandoned their stances for FOX lies.

Forever, the courts have been an important arbiter of what a President can, and can’t do. That is under threat now: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/trump-like...

On the moon, a year is 20 milliseconds longer than it is on earth.

Trump is reportedly looking to shrink the FDIC and consolidate it into other govt agencies. The FDIC was created during the Depression to protect bank deposits. This would come after Trump and DOGE shuttered the CFPB, which protects us from financial fraud. See the pattern?
