Interesting look at the history of networks allowing (or not allowing in Barack's case) network prime-time for Presidential addresses. Trump stupidly interrupted some series finales (Survivor, The Floor) for his diatribe. popular.info/p/breaking-p...

Moskowitz: Speaker Johnson seems to have memory problems: I haven’t seen that. I haven’t heard about it. You’re telling me this for the first time.
He just can’t get away from trying to defend the president without making it look like he has absolutely no idea what’s going on at any point in time…

Massie: Previous presidents told us to go to war over WMDs that did not exist. Now it's the same playbook. Except we're told that drugs are the WMDs. If it were about drugs, we'd bomb Mexico or China or Colombia. This is about oil and regime change.

ProPublica identified 17 people who each shielded at least $1 billion in capital gains from the so-called Net Investment Income Tax.
Together, this small group, by collectively exempting more than $35 billion, saved about $1.3 billion in taxes.

How Billionaires Sidestepped a Tax Aimed at the Rich
Wall Street financiers were a clear target of the tax, but some, on questionable legal grounds, have claimed their outsized profits were exempt, sometimes avoiding hundreds of millions in taxes.
