Thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill, Amazon saw its corporate income taxes shrink by more than HALF last year, even as its profits climbed.
But instead of investing the savings into their workforce, Amazon just announced thousands of layoffs and plans to spend $200B on AI.
Textbook corporate greed.

Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third.

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

I know abuses perpetrated against children is at the top of all of our minds with the horrible details revealed in the Epstein Files. While we seek justice for those victims, we must demand that the children being traumatized in detention centers be released immediately too. Please call your reps 📞
