Facebook launched 22 years ago this week.

In 2025, Meta paid an effective federal tax rate of 3.5% — its lowest on record.

Meanwhile, Meta is pumping at least $65 million into super PACs to stifle regulation of AI and tech.

Start with citizens united decision. The master plan.
Donald Trump didn't break the political system on his own.

Our broken political system is why we have Trump.

the first best Senate ask is to split the DHS funding from the rest of the minibus.

It wrongfoots Republicans, it unites the D caucus, and it becomes more compelling rather than less compelling the longer Rs resist it. plus all the minibus components were negotiated separately anyway

It doesn't just "echo."

It's Trump's Americanized version of the Nazi creed "Ein volk. Ein Reich. Ein fuhrer,"

In other words "One people. One state. One leader."
