While you had to pay up, Meta skirted almost $4 billion in taxes last year. How? By abusing a tax credit tied to its data centers. It's time to make corporations pay their fair share.

He is not defying the Democrats. He is defying the US Congress, aka the people. A president cannot legally or constitutionally spend money however he wishes to. Congress appropriated the funding. Previous presidents signed those appropriations into law. Trump is lawless. That's the story here.

Congratulations to the GREAT Boeing Company for producing a plane, the 737 Max, that was able to withstand G Forces and Strain far beyond what it was designed and expected to do. It was an amazing show of precise and powerful structural planning and design. It is about time that The Boeing Company, which builds, by far, the finest commercial airliners in the sky, was given credit for this airplane’s incredible “genius!” To Kelly Ortberg, and all of his officers and associates at Boeing, congratulations on a job well done!!!

Social Security’s trust fund will be depleted in 2032 if Congress does not act– meaning payroll taxes would only be able to pay about 78% of scheduled benefits. For many seniors, a 22% reduction could mean the difference between staying above or falling below the poverty line.
