Corporate profits and tax revenues grew together until the Trump tax cuts. Now corporate profits are at an all-time high while tax receipts are at their lowest since 2021.

Trump sued for using taxpayer money on campaign-style ads ahead of midterms
While Trump himself is not on the ballot this year, Democrats argued the taxpayer-funded ad campaign is part of an effort to bolster Republicans as they struggle to keep control of Congress.

Jeanine Pirro should be disbarred. It is absolutely indefensible and gross misconduct to rush through a criminal indictment for political reasons before an investigation has been completed, which resulted in false evidence being presented to a grand jury.

The commodification of human suffering is coming to Iowa courtesy of the Iowa GOP. The Iowa Dept of Corrections needs to build 3 prisons for the new “3 strikes law.” The state can’t staff its existing facilities. Which Trump donor gets the upcoming contracts for the private prisons?

We have *never* before seen consumer sentiment this low.
Line chart titled "Consumer Sentiment just fell to a (new) all-time low" showing the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index from 1952 to May 2026. The index plummeted to 44.8 in May 2026, the lowest reading in the survey's 74-year history, falling sharply from 74.0 in December 2024. This marks three consecutive months of decline and drops below all previous crisis lows, including the June 2022 inflation surge low of 50.0 and the April 2020 pandemic low of 71.8, signaling an unprecedented collapse in consumer confidence.

Complete BS as usual from Vance. Trump and Vance refuse to acknowledge what people are dealing with right now and refuse to admit that they are actively causing it with the war and tariffs. “But Biden” is all they got 16 months in.
