"Through the tax code, and especially through changes in the tax code in Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill, the data center boom is effectively being subsidized by taxpayer dollars. Moreover, we shouldn’t assume that the private sector knows what it’s doing." tinyurl.com/5cj3wzk7

Some people might get tired of all the memes and jokes that resulted from the attempted ambush of Jack Smith by Eric Schmitt today. But until somebody has a more embarrassing moment, this is all people are gonna talk about. I don’t make the rules.

When Jesus healed the sick, he didn’t ask for a deductible. When he fed the hungry, he didn’t price gouge for a profit. When the Hebrew prophets saw corruption, they spoke truth to power. When I take on this corrupt system, I’m doing it on biblical grounds.

"So a diesel export ban would probably do little to assuage U.S. concerns about affordability. And it would further weaken America’s hand in its geopolitical rivalry with China over energy. In short, a ban would be a bad idea. Which is why it’s probably going to happen." tinyurl.com/2mbhvc5y

A reminder: the top income tax rate used to be 90%+ and corporate 52%. US and UK. Inheritance 77% US, 85% UK. Now these countries pay "interest" TO the wealthy instead of taxing them. A wealth tax only begins to get the money FROM where the money WENT. Tax the rich.

Corporations and ultra-rich individuals with numerous business interests cannot be trusted to prioritize the public’s right to know over their own bottom lines. When billionaire conglomerates take control of media, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.
