“our billion dollar air bases and naval bases in the region were obliterated by the Iranians.” If the U.S. military forces suffered those kind of damages under a Democratic admin, Congress would impeach the Defense Secretary and lot more.

Not news, but a useful reminder of why Americans need to vote in November, and to vote AGAINST any Senate or House candidates that support Donald Trump. If the Democrats take Congress, they can successfully fight Trump. If they *KNOW* we have their backs, they will.

Every time these scumbags go after Zelenskyy, they get their teeth kicked in. Because he's no spoiled rich kid like Elon or Donald. He grew up on the rough streets of Kryvyi Rih in the '80s and '90s, where people knew how to spot a scumbag a mile away- and didn't waste time being polite about it. 🫡

I really do love having a mayor who seems to actually want to make life better for all the people in his city. I feel like this is why he is attacked so much (besides gutter Islamaphobia). He's a reminder that we don't have to accept the just-for-my-rich-donors pols we so often have.

Changing hearts and minds is possible, but it takes time, energy, and dollars on the ground for years, maybe decades. In the meantime the left has to play poker with the hand it is dealt, not what it wishes it to be. And this is coming from an ardent progressive.

Correct. Trump's approval ratings nor the GOP's aren't plummeting because median voters have grown a conscience. It's because the only way to get them to vote against their preferred bigot warmonger is to show they are paying more for the things they need & their tax money is being thrown away.

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854
Taxing Entrepreneurial Wealth: Evidence from
Norway, 2021-2025
Marius A. K. Ring
WORKING PAPER 35854|
DOl 10.3386/w35854
ISSUE DATE October 2026
Whether imposing higher taxes on business owners adversely affects business activity by constraining investment and inducing capitalist flight is a central question in the ongoing debate on how to tax the ultra wealthy. To shed new light, I exploit a series of related Norwegian reforms during 2021-2024 that increased dividend tax rates, removed migration-related capital gains tax loopholes, and nearly doubled the effective marginal tax rate on business wealth. These reforms spurred international debate and, allegedly, an "exodus" of Norwegian billionaires (Financial Times,
2023). While I document clear effects on migration, these responses are concentrated among the top 0.1% of the wealth distribution and mostly confined to 2022 and 2023. My results indicate that at most 100 individuals left due to the reforms. I find no evidence of significant outmigration or reduced inflows of startup founders or inventors. I estimate that absent any outmigration, wealth tax revenues would have increased by 75% from 2021 to 2024. Reform-driven outmigration lowers the revenue gain to 71.5%. My findings further show that outmigrating owners' firms remain economically active and do not reduce investment. In a broader set of analyses, I examine whether business outcomes are affected, regardless of whether owners outmigrate, since firms may reduce investment both due to liquidity constraints or distortions to owners' savings decisions. I compare firms owned by Norwegian individuals subject to the wealth tax with firms owned by foreigners and other tax-exempt entities. By merging historical ownership data from Orbis with the Norwegian shareholder register, I perform these analyses on both Norwegian and foreign-domiciled firms.
Across settings, I find no evidence that Norwegian-owned firms pay out more dividends or invest less after the reforms,…
