The year after Trump’s last tax giveaway, Amazon paid $0 in federal income taxes, while the typical Boston public school teacher paid about $10,000.
I asked Senate Republicans: Can we agree that no billionaire corporation should get another tax handout?
Republicans voted no.

David is completely right here. I think this is also why there's so much distrust & resentment of institutions in general. There is a constant claim that institutions are a bulwark, that they must be saved/preserved/respected and yet many of them either fold to power or can't provide accountability
One of the defining feelings in American life, for decades now, is elites doing plainly criminal shit and nothing at all happening as a result. It is deranging in a way that virtually nothing else is. Media fixates on perceived street lawlessness but shit like this matters much more in my opinion.
Dereliction of responsibility by the court. It is so flagrantly illegal. www.huffpost.com/entry/us-wis...

Yaas! We have survived far worse than Trump and the right-wing assault on our place in history. They will try, but they’ll never be able to erase us.

New in PN: All the laws flouted during SignalGate
"There’s no excuse they can come up with that will be believable, bc the truth is obvious — they recklessly defied numerous laws by discussing war plans in a Signal group. And once they got caught, they made things even worse by incessantly lying."

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

I hope I never again see an administration filled with so many corrupt rat bastards, from the top down. The fact so many are incompetent doesn’t negate their corruption.

Signal, a popular messaging app, came into the spotlight this week after reports that several senior Trump administration officials had used the tool to conduct war planning — inadvertently including a journalist in the message group. Here's what to know about the app, and what it's used for.
What Is Signal, the App Involved in a War Plans Security Breach?
The app, which was introduced in 2014 and has hundreds of millions of users, is widely viewed as the safest messaging tool because of its encryption technology.
