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.

NEW: The Republican National Committee (RNC) is urging the U.S. Supreme Court to dramatically restrict mail-in voting nationwide and asking the justices to rule that ballots arriving after Election Day — even if mailed on time under state law — should not be counted.
Republicans ask Supreme Court to block states from counting legally cast mail ballots
If the Court sides with the RNC, millions of voters who depend on mail-in voting could be disenfranchised.

They like to lie and say we get paid to protest. That’s probably because they need to pay people to have an audience. Hegseth is in Bath today. Many of us will be happy to show up in protest, free of charge.

OK, but Trump was president when the 2020 election happened, so isn't the notion that Venezuela interfered an indictment of his national security apparatus?
So I just listened to @ariberman.bsky.social articulate the same theory @jvl.bsky.social has: that there’s a real chance the Trump admin is going to lean on Maduro or offer him some sort of deal to say Venezuela did interfere in the 2020 elections.
