America gave up kings 250 years ago and adopted a system in which “no one is above the law.”
But presidents? SCOTUS gives them immunity.
Corporations? SCOTUS makes it easier for them to pollute.
Billionaires? SCOTUS says they can buy elections.
The legacy of the John Roberts Supreme Court.

Palantir's CEO made $3.3 billion from 2019-2024.
Palantir managed to spend $64 million enriching shareholders—even as they reported $1.5 billion in losses to pay zero income taxes.
THIS is why our economy and society are so broken.

Amazon just saved nearly $8B on its 2025 tax bill — despite profits hitting $90B — thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill.
Remember: Amazon spent $75M producing and marketing the Melania movie, while Jeff Bezos gave $1M to Trump's inaugural fund.
Quite a return on investment, huh?

Trump: "This building was built for peace. Nobody knew what to name it, and then Marco named it after me. I had nothing to do with it. I swear. They said, 'There's a surprise coming.' I thought they were gonna give me a lot of money or something. Maybe cash. Can always use some extra cash."
