Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget.
Really think about how twisted this all is.

The Trump-Vance-Musk regime is not only undermining democracy in the United States.
It is also laying the foundation for undermining democracies around the world.
And the oligarchy is cheering them on. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/paying-off-putin

Government reports show that fraudulent spending is a measurable problem for the federal government.

Fact-checking Trump and Musk's claims that they are cutting government 'fraud and abuse'

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.
You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?
Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.
You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.
