In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.
This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

I say we have Jasmine Crocket, AOC and taco boy all take the “cognitive test” on live TV. Taco will clearly fail the MOCA while the 2 women will pass with flying colors. Then there will be evidence that he is cognitively impaired and then the 25th amendment can be invoked.

“The United States is cutting off the kind of foreign aid that keeps children alive for 12 cents a day, but it’s willing to invest far larger sums in a dubious effort to prop up a distant economy — while effectively subsidizing tycoons who made bad investments,” Nicholas Kristof writes.

🚨Trump’s team is plotting to declare a fake "national emergency" to hijack elections.
One operative says they can “take steps without Congress” and mandate state election rules.
Independent, state-run elections are the last firewall between democracy and authoritarian rule.

The House Republican budget will balloon our deficits, putting the US on track to borrow even more than before. No matter what they tell you, MAGA is not conservative.

They call it the "new model" because their version of the American Dream is just a caste system with zero retirement benefits or upward mobility for you or your children.
Lutnick: "It's time to train people not to do the jobs of the past, but to do the great jobs of the future. This is the new model where you work in these kinds of plants for the rest of your life and your kids work here and your grandkids work here. We let the auto plants go overseas."

It's pretty funny that Trump has engineered a geo-political game of chicken between two societies - the US and China - where the winner will be the society most willing to withstand economic pain and inconveience in furtherance of some future national collective goal. Not really a US strong suit!
