Even as profits soar, corporate tax payments are down 25% this year thanks to Trump and Republicans’ big, ugly bill. One of the main beneficiaries? Big Tech — which is using the tax breaks to help fuel its AI boom as it spends a fortune on the midterm elections. Remember this...

On this I cannot disagree. Mainstream media and legacy media have been bought and paid for and are willing turning a blind eye to an obvious coverup. No one is willing to go to the hospital and find out the truth? Shameful.

Traditionally, even the worst presidents don't *intend* to hurt the economy. Until now. "At home and abroad, the past few days have laid bare the extent to which President Trump’s troubles on the economy are self-inflicted." My latest for @ms.now:

Opinion | Trump can’t stop sabotaging his own economy
Presidents usually get far too much credit or blame for the state of the economy. But in Trump’s case, the causation is far clearer.

In 1942 when ~10 Japanese-American students from Willamette University in Salem, OR were transported to internment camps, a group of white students went to the train station to express solidarity with them. They encountered a group of angry, racist American Legion members celebrating the occasion.

It's been a huge success in two aspects: (a) damage and (b) making SCOTUS and the federal courts majority lawless GOP partisans. They wanted a huge cultural and ideological shift in their favor too and got neither, but they don't really care because (b) locks it all in anyway until that's fixed.

If you're 60, 69% of the job growth in your lifetime came under Democratic presidents. If you're 45: 75%. If you're under 28: 100%. Not a typo. The Republican column since 1998 nets out below zero. (Source: BLS)
