Amazon just saved nearly $8B on its 2025 tax bill — despite profits hitting $90B — thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill. Remember: Amazon spent $75M producing and marketing the Melania movie, while Jeff Bezos gave $1M to Trump's inaugural fund. Quite a return on investment, huh?

Trump’s lying (again). The shutdown isn’t about ‘illegal aliens,’ it’s about Republicans refusing to extend health care subsidies for millions of Americans.

Lots of news coverage of convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell glosses over the fact that she was convicted of being Jeffrey Epstein's co-conspirator. Epstein's crimes were her crimes, and it's absurd to pretend as if she wasn't close to each and every one of Epstein's friends throughout.
