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?

So, I know he's unlikely to receive a custodial sentence, but if he did, would that be the first time he's actually worked for a wage in his life?

@reecedinsdale.bsky.social Good morning Reece. Have you watched the latest version of ‘Lord of the Flies’? If so, I’d be interested in your thoughts. It is so well acted by the boys. My only feeling is that it may have been better in three episodes rather than four as it seems slightly drawn out. 🌻🌻

If someone had told me ten years ago that in 2026, there could be evidence of the president raping and threatening to kill children, and he would *still* be allowed to stay in office, I would have politely asked them to put down the meth pipe.

He’s the antithesis of a decent Englishman.
He’s sly, he’s divisive, he has, at best, a tenuous relationship with the truth.
His avarice for wealth and power knows no bounds.
Many of his acquaintances have friends who wish this country ill.
Yet, the ignorant fawn over him.
