Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Tesla paid just 4.9% of their profits in federal corporate taxes in 2025. They've seen their collective tax bill drop by $95B thanks to two rounds of Trump tax cuts. Meanwhile, tech layoffs in 2026 have already surpassed 2025. Trickle-down economics was always a scam.

The most unpatriotic thing happening in America right now is a Republican led Congress that surrendered its own power to a would be king. Reclaim it Saturday at No Kings, then reclaim the House with your early vote. #VoteEarlyForNoKings

Trump is asked about the war in Iran and makes a BIZARRE move that Ben Meiselas can only describe as a “dolphin-like maneuver.” “Why are you doing a freaking dolphin?!... Imagine if someone asked me a question and I just started doing THIS.”

There have been so many impeachable offenses, but lying about how you were a hero on a day that 2,753 people died in NYC in the 9/11 disaster—when you were on the other side of town, safely calling local media to brag about how you now had the tallest downtown building—is such a despicable one

Midterm history is rarely kind to unpopular presidents. Trump is at 33% approval, his party is already in trouble in both chambers, and the rational move would be to get out of the way. Instead, he keeps making it about himself. A bad midterm could get much worse.

And just like that, Ontario flipped the switch allowing electricity to flow to the United States, leaving 1,500,000 homes and businesses in the U.S. without lights or air conditioning during unusually hot weather. All because the immature moron in the White House had another temper tantrum.
