@morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social of course the Republican guest never answered your question. Guess she is all in on the military taking over our cities: training for the coup.

@nicollewallace.bsky.social talking about tariffs on Brazil, my Folgers coffee at Kroger went up $2 a container. That was today. Not sure how long it has been up.

Effective Corporate Tax Rates

1950: 50%
2025: 13%

Top Marginal Tax Rates

1950: 91%
2025: 37%

If you’re curious as to why the rich have so much and you have so little, these are good places to start.

Finally!
President Biden officially signs the bipartisan Social Security Fairness Act.

It boosts payments for current and former public employees, affecting nearly 3 million people who receive pensions from their time as teachers, firefighters, police officers, & other public service jobs.

Great news! 💕

If you don’t have a library card go get one. Even if you don’t plan on using it right away, go get one. Keep our libraries alive.
