I hope Dems understand that the flip side of the "affordability" message is corruption. Trump is not bringing down costs, he's stealing your tax money to enrich himself & his family. You're forced to save & cut back; he's living like fucking Caligula.

The heads of Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Tesla all joined Trump at his inauguration.
Since then, largely thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill, their companies have reaped $51B in federal tax breaks — paid for by huge cuts to our social safety net.
This is what oligarchy looks like.

"Epstein class" is terrific not simply because several of them are directly tied to Epstein's crimes, but because it strikes at the corruption, immorality and impunity of that entire circle.

What does “Putin winning” actually mean?
It does not require tanks rolling into Kyiv.
It means:
•Ukraine is pressured into territorial concessions.
•russia keeps what it seized by force.
•War crimes go largely unpunished.
•The aggressor is rewarded with normalization, trade, and time to rearm.

It would be interesting to see where in the republican donations come from. I'm guessing a significant amount of this is a few very rich donors, whereas I expect the democratic support to come more from many small donations. Does anybody have this data?

Maybe the invasion of Minnesota and the murder of Americans by their government was meant to distract us from the fact that the president is all over the Epstein files and has been accused of raping children.

The Trump administration and Republicans in Congress "have allowed a hugely profitable corporation to avoid paying even a dime of federal income tax on their 2025 US profits."
On $5.7 Billion in Revenue in 2025, How Much Will Elon Musk's Tesla Pay in Federal Income Tax? $0
Elon Musk's Tesla raked in billions in profits, yet paid $0 in federal income tax in 2025. How is this fair? While hardworking Americans foot the bill, Tesla enjoys massive tax breaks. The system is broken, and it's time for change. #TaxFairness #TeslaTaxScandal #CorporateGreed
