NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected.

And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.*

anyone else notice how wikipedia as a result would be either the first or second result on Google Search and now it won't even show as a result unless you explicitly type in "wikipedia" as a full keyword?

JD Vance owns a company that buys American real estate and sells it to foreign investors. They specifically target Americans in crisis to buy their property for less than it is worth.
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

Thinking about how one of the first Epstein victims was trans and got relentlessly mocked in the media when she spoke up www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/07/when...
When a trans woman first accused Jeffrey Epstein of rape, the media mocked her - LGBTQ Nation
The New York Post called her a "man" and a "gender-bend shocker."

Just fucking stop it with the “you rubes don’t understand journalism!” shit. This garbage is a huge part of what got us here in the first place and things will not get any better until you people start owning your manifest, grotesque, world-destroying failures.

Perfect example of political media operating under the post-truth standard that (1) distorts the facts until the parties look approximately equal, and (2) holds “do MAGA voters care?” as a higher standard than “is it true?” or “is it important for the public to know about this?”
Wild to watch playbook run cover for this particular Trump scandal

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

your honor, the prosecution has been laser focused on all my *criminal* emails... but don't you find it odd how they're ignoring the ones I send to my wife about dinner plans? or my son's little league baseball team? they are clearly biased!

very cool that Trump and his riled up base have consistently attacked The New York Times as an institution, damaged its reputation and credibility, and in response The New York Times has done nothing but protect and shield Trump unprompted for the past 10 years

this country is so fucked oh my god

Another thing this email trove has convinced me of is that NYT has been actively and consciously helping Trump since 2015. It wasn't just casual sexism, double standards, and political reporting Kayfabe. They were doing catch and kill

every few years it's revealed that the NYT was sitting on information about some horrific thing that public knowledge of would have changed the country's course and for some reason a ton of people still give them money. you can play those games on other sites

they knew in fucking 2015 (!!!!!) and here the info comes out nearly a fucking decade later...

Thank the New York Times for Donald Trump everyone!!! cannot wait for this rag to be demolished.
