2025: 13%

Top Marginal Tax Rates

1950: 91%

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.

If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.

People with chronic illnesses like diabetes or MS need healthcare services that often exceed annual limits. Without ACA protections, they’ll be left without treatment. The ACA Saves Lives, but Republicans want to end these protections.

Do you have friends/family with diabetes, cancer, or MS?
