I love Holiday Affair (On TCM this afternoon.) Wonderful performances by Robert Mitchum and Janet Leigh. But maybe one of THE best juvenile performances ever by Gordon Gebert. #TCMparty #HolidayAffair

The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes per year — enough to end homelessness, hunger, and pay for universal childcare. 👆🏻 This is the crime wave we should be talking more about.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Nothing says, “We’re doing GREAT!” like 75% of your scientists looking to live and work elsewhere. A generational harm. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

75% of US scientists who answered Nature poll consider leaving
More than 1,600 readers answered our poll; many said they were looking for jobs in Europe and Canada.

So it turns out Pete Hegseth lied. And Michael Waltz lied. And Tulsi Gabbard lied. And also lied to Congress while under oath. And John Ratliffe lied. And also lied to Congress while under oath. And as ever Jeffrey Goldberg and the Atlantic were telling the truth. This is why journalism matters.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Every time I see this, I can’t stop thinking that these guys must be kicking themselves that they didn’t get in earlier with Trump like Musk did so they could be in on the “swamp-draining,” aka “all the power and money for me, none for thee, dearest, darling, dumb America.” Despicable, all of them.

The Trump administration has released almost no information on the migrants sent to Guantanamo. Lawyers are demanding they be allowed access to legal counsel.

Here is a script you can use for any issue. Find your reps' # at reps.fyi or 5calls.org. Every time you see a news story that horrifies you: call, or something else about it. It matters to say what you believe. You are setting a norm.
Hi, my name is [NAME], I'm a constituent in [ZIP CODE]. I'm calling because I saw that [TERRIBLE THING] is happening. I think this is appalling. [PERSONAL STORY, if you have one.] I want you to do everything you can to stop this. I will remember your actions when I cast my next vote. Thank you.
