Meta paid its lowest effective federal tax rate in company history last year while raking in record profits. Earlier this year, Meta began laying off 8,000 workers as it ramps up AI investment. Zuckerberg is now worth $190 billion. The irony of a Big Tech King buying a castle is not lost on me.

Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.
