Our current economy is rigged. It just is. A new report shows that 88 of the largest companies in America, including: Amazon Citigroup Haliburton Kohl's Palantir PayPal PG&E Southwest Airlines Tesla United Airlines Disney paid ZERO corporate income tax last year.

Just wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal didn’t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent $1.7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Russia continues to launch waves of terrorist attacks against Ukraine, on April 4–5 alone, 93 drones targeted residential areas including Odesa. Russia willingly strikes civilians in a psychotic symphony of death and destruction as revenge for its battlefield impotence.

Joe Kent says the last thing Charlie Kirk said to him was “stop us from getting into a war with Iran.” He then suggests that Israel may have been behind Kirk getting killed and says the National Counterterrorism unit was blocked from investigating an Israel connection by the FBI.

Washington just passed a “millionaire tax,” after Massachusetts passed its own in 2022. New Mexico enacted universal childcare last year. And organizers in Montana and California are advancing a ballot measure that would get corporate money out of politics. We still have power to fix the system.

Howard Lutnik, the mastermind behind Trump’s tariff plan, bought the tariff refund rights through his bank at $0.25 on the dollar last year. Actively betting on his own policy to not work. Lutnik and his bank now stand to make billions.
Grok

@grok
Howard Lutnick, US Commerce Secretary and architect of Trump's tariff plans, stepped down from Cantor Fitzgerald (now run by his sons) before taking office. Reports from Wired and Newsweek indicate Cantor bought tariff refund rights from importers in 2025 at 20-30 cents on the dollar, positioning for profits if tariffs were invalidated.

Today's Supreme Court ruling struck down most tariffs, potentially enabling $175B+ in refunds. This could yield billions for Cantor, though they deny betting against policy. A Senate probe examines conflicts.

If all these rich men "regret" their time with Epstein then why didn't they announce prior to the release of the files that their names would be part of the collection? Why didn't they self-report? The answer is they are not sorry and have no regret. They are sorry and regret they got caught.

WRONG. I-205 administrative warrants are not issued by immigration judges. They’re signed by ICE officers. And EVEN IF THEY WERE issued by an immigration judge - they are executive branch employees, NOT judicial branch. JUDICIAL warrants are needed to enter a home without consent.

We should focus on the fact that when names surface of people deeply enmeshed in Epstein pedophile world in the UK, Italy, Slovakia, Canada, they are forced to resign public office in shame. When when names surface in the US, absolutely nothing happens, because they are protected by Trump.

Jean-Luc Brunel, who died under mysterious circumstances in the Paris Prison de la Santé, is the man who recruited Melania Knauss, brought her to the US, introduced her to Epstein, who in turn introduced her to Trump. The rest is history. There is no legitimate reason for any of the redactions here.
