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 100 lowest-paying major US corporations spent $522B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2023.  

Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.

The typical worker at these companies earned just $34k. 

Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $14.7M.

See the problem?

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

I just joined Sen. Elizabeth Warren to call out the Administration for trying to dismantle the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Since it was established, this consumer watchdog has returned over $20 billion to Americans, cut overdraft fees to $5, and cut credit card late fees to $8.

From a guy who used to work there: Rachel is a remarkable person and the best TV news talent there is. If she says something is fucked up, it is. Getting rid of Joy, who dared to see through this fascism bullshit years ago and had the gall of occasionally being funny about it, is dumb.
Maddow: I think it is a bad mistake to let Joy Reid walk out the door. It is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got two nonwhite hosts in primetime, both of our nonwhite hosts in primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Phang on the weekend. I do not defend it.
