Executive compensation is rarely in the form of W2 income of more that 2.5 million. But, the point is that to normal people it seems ridiculous to tax anyone working for their money at 90%. Seems like hard core socialism/communism. A better argument is to go after unearned income.

Wage earners are never the "wealthy". There is no need to tax any wage earners at 90%. They are at least working for the money. Tax "unearned" income at or above the level of "earned" income.

Good interview with the CEO of Flexport, Ryan Petersen. His expertise on supply chains is invaluable. What happens to American companies if the tariffs continue? This CEO says there will be “an extinction-level, asteroid-wiping-out-the-dinosaurs kind of event.” www.wsj.com/business/tar...

This shows how much harm antivaxxers have done already. Expect more of this, tragically, as people follow RFK Jr's lead, and as the corruption of our public health institutions spread.

This is blatantly anti-Catholic and makes fun of Catholicism. Will ANYONE in the Catholic Church speak out against it?

Newsom: In 2023, Californians contributed $83.1 billion more to the federal government than we received back. And for your viewers: that other state—Texas—took $71.1 billion more than it contributed to the federal government. California: $83 billion, contributor. Texas: taker.

Career officials at the Internal Revenue Service were pressed by Trump officials and DOGE staffers to hand over access to sensitive taxpayer data to immigration agencies, but repeatedly refused, telling their new overseers that doing so would be illegal. Trump and Musk barreled ahead anyway.

When DOJ filed its response to Judge Xinis around 12:15 pm today, it said: “Plaintiff is in the custody of a foreign sovereign.” Drew Ensign’s name was on the brief. An hour later, at the hearing, Ensign told the judge that he didn’t have info on Garcia’s whereabouts and custodial status. ???
RESPONSE TO AMENDED PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION ORDER
Defendants are unable to provide the information requested by the Court on
the impracticable deadline set by the Court hours after the Supreme Court issued its
order. The Supreme Court's order directs the Court to "clarify its directive, with due regard for the deference owed to the Executive Branch in the conduct of foreign affairs." Abrego Garcia v. Noem, 25A949, 604 U. S. _ (2025), Op. at 2. The Court has not yet clarified what it means to "facilitate" or "effectuate" the return as it relates
to this case, asPlaintiff is in the custody of a foreign sovereign Defendants request - and require-the opportunity to brief that issue prior to being subject to any
compliance deadlines. Needless to say, Defendants were under no obligation to take action under the court's order while it was administratively stayed by the Chief
Justice of the United States. In light of the insufficient amount of time afforded to
review the Supreme Court's Order following the dissolution of the administrative stayin this case, Defendants are not in a position where they "can" share any information
requested by the Court. That is the reality. Defendants received the order late in the
evening last night. They are reviewing the order and actively evaluating next steps.
It is unreasonable and impracticable for Defendants to reveal potential steps before
those steps are reviewed, agreed upon, and vetted. Foreign affairs cannot operate on
judicial timelines, in part because it involves sensitive country-specific considerations
wholly inappropriate for judicial review.
