Before the Trump-GOP tax law, corporations paid a 35% rate. Now they pay 21%. For the first time in nearly a century, the average American family pays a HIGHER effective tax rate than corporations. They flipped the script on working people.

"Police said the bicyclist was not wearing a helmet." Who cares? A bicycle helmet isn't designed to protect cyclists against cars. "At this time, speed, drugs or alcohol do not appear to be contributing factors in the collision, police said." Speed is absolutely a factor, to the 2nd power.
