Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Tesla Paid Zero Federal Income Tax in 2024, Despite $2.3 Billion in Income

This brings Tesla’s average tax rate over the past three years to 0.4 percent.

I’d recommend everyone regardless of medical risk bring a mask on your airplane journey, a disinfectant wipe to clean the seat you’re in and hand sanitizer. It’s going to be on you alone to protect your health. Warning signs are everywhere.

The NY Attorney General has REJECTED Trump's bid to dismiss his $500M civil fraud judgment post-election. The AG stated that Trump's presidency doesn't shield him from civil litigation over non-official conduct, per the Constitution and multiple court precedents.

Dear Mr. Sauer:
I am writing in response to your letter dated November 26, 2024, regarding the above-referenced action. This Office will not stipulate to vacate the final judgment already entered by Supreme Court, New York County, in this action or otherwise seek to dismiss the action.
As you know, this is a civil enforcement action under Executive Law § 63(12) against the Trump Organization, a business headquartered in New York, and its top executives concerning those defendants' fraudulent and unlawful actions to misleadingly inflate defendant Donald J. Trump's personal net worth in business transactions for the purpose of obtaining more favorable terms on loans and insurance policies than they otherwise would have received. This civil enforcement action was filed following a multiyear investigation by the Office, and multiple courts have rejected claims that the investigation or action were brought in anything other than good faith. See People v. Trump Org., Inc., 205 A.D.3d 625,
626-27 (1st Dep't 2022); Trump v. James, No. 1:21-1352, 2022 WL 1718951, at *12-14 (N.D.N.Y. May 27, 2022). Following summary judgment and an eleven-week bench trial, Supreme Court concluded that Mr. Trump and the other entity and individual defendants violated § 63(12). The court also entered final judgment ordering various forms of equitable relief. Defendants appealed from Supreme Court's post-trial final judgment. That appeal has been fully briefed and argued in the Appellate Division, First Department, and the parties are now awaiting a decision from the First Department.
Your letter presents no basis for this Office to seek to vacate the final judgment or to dismiss this action.
First, Mr. Trump's upcoming inauguration as the next President of the United States has no bearing on the pendency of defendants' appeal in this action. This civil enforcement

action is not a criminal action, and Supreme Court did not impose any criminal sanction on Mr. Trump or any other defendant. Accordingly, the various actions taken by the Special Counsel's office or the District Attorney's Office of New York County in the respective criminal cases brought by those offices against Mr. Trump are irrelevant here.
Contrary to your suggestion, the pendency of defendants' appeal during Mr. Trump's term as President fully comports with the U.S. Constitution. The final judgment concerns only business conduct undertaken by entities that are part of the Trump Organization and individual defendants who were acting on behalf of the Trump Organization. The judgment thus does not concern any conduct related to Mr. Trump's first term as President. Nor does it implicate any conduct that Mr. Trump might undertake after his upcoming inauguration.
Presidents do not have immunity from civil lawsuits arising from unofficial conduct, and such lawsuits may proceed while the President is in office. See Clinton v. Jones, 520 U.S. 681, 694
(1997); Zervos v. Trump, 171 A.D.3d 110, 128 (1st Dep't 2019); see also Trump v. United States, 603 U.S. 593, 615-16 (2024). Regardless, Mr. Trump's upcoming inauguration is irrelevant to the judgment rendered against the fourteen other defendants found liable by Supreme Court in this action.
There is also no merit to your claim that the pendency of defendants' own appeal will impede Mr. Trump's official duties as President. The ordinary burdens of civil litigation do not impede the President's official duties in a way that violates the U.S. Constitution. See Clinton,
520 U.S. at 705-06; Zervos, 171 A.D.3d at 125-26. In any event, Mr. Trump does not face any such litigation burdens here. The trial is over, final judgment has been rendered, and defendants' appeal to the First Department has been fully submitted and argued. Mr. Trump's official duties will not be impeded while awaiting the First Department's decision. Nor wi…

When I say that some large and possibly determinative segment of voters are unserious I’m suggesting that some of the ways Dems can appeal to them won’t be very nice and will not appeal to people like me. But might be effective. www.thebulwark.com/p/an-unserio...

Nothing. I worked for my local election authority for 25+years. When I would have to generate a voter list for a candidate request, there would ALWAYS be 60% or more of the registered voters who either never vote or only vote occasionally in a presidential election.
