Meanwhile Amazon and other large corporations and wealthy individuals are bankrolling the destruction of the White House and the #GOPShutdown. If they can afford this, they can A) afford huge taxes, B) deserve fewer federal contracts, C) don’t deserve our hard earned money.

Trump gave Amazon a $16 billion tax break to accelerate its investments this year.
Now, Amazon will replace 600,000 workers with robots as Jeff Bezos accelerates his plan to automate warehouses.
No. Corporate tax breaks do not trickle down to workers. Never have. Never will.

In March 2024 I turned down an interview with the NYT and I told the journalist it was because of their sudden right turn. He scoffed, writing back, "Ha! That is certainly one way of looking at it."

Why didn’t some of the Epstein survivors speak out earlier? “I thought someone was going to kill me,” one explained.
As another asked, “Why did the government work so hard to protect Jeffrey Epstein and not victims like me?”

I spoke to employers who were seeking to help employees abducted by ICE - including one boss seeking freedom for a U.S. citizen staffer who was arrested in the space between their uber and the front door of their workplace.
Their boss had their U.S. passport in hand, pleading for their release.

This is a reminder to all reporters that "less lethal" is not the same as "less than lethal" and just because they might be less likely to kill it's no guarantee they won't.
