The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

Why is NPR carrying this pointless and performative verbal blowjob by Trump's sycophants in its entirety? 1. The rescue would not have been necessay except for Trump's failures. 2. Trump's only worthy remark was that we can't have nukes in the hands of a lunatic. Wrong country, though.

Defeatism? We don’t know her. Our community support-based campaign model demonstrates a new model for politics and engaged a record number of young voters. Now we’re not just going to keep doing that work. We’re helping campaigns across the country do the same.
Article excerpt from the Chicago Sun Times, reading: 

HEADLINE: After primary loss, Kat Abughazaleh moves to boost campaigns across Midwest
SUBHEAD: Abughazaleh said Thursday that she will help campaigns "integrate mutual aid and direct action into their races," across the country, "especially in the Midwest." 

STORY: By Tina Sfondeles | Apr 2, 2026, 4:36pm CDT

"Fresh off a second-place finish, progressive content creator and former congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh is scaling up her political network to help purple and progressive candidates in the Midwest - all while keeping her Rogers Park campaign office open as a mutual aid hub and community space."

Chicago Sun Times quote: 

Abughazaleh announced she will help campaigns "integrate mutual aid and direct action into their races," and she plans to help races across the country, "especially in the Midwest." Abughazaleh said she is working with partners to fund the project and plans to expand it to help other candidates.
"But Kat, you lost your race. How could you even say that this model could win races?' Well I'm so glad you asked. We came in a very close second in a field of 15, beating out AIPAC and multiple established local politicians, and we did it with zero outside money," Abughazaleh said. "We brought in more first-time Gen Z donors than the DSCC [Democratic Senate Campaign Committee] the DCC [Democratic Congressional Committee], [Senate Minority Leader Chuck] Schumer, [House Minority Leader Hakeem] Jeffries and my next two primary opponents combined."
Abughazaleh raised an astonishing $3.3 million in an anti-establishment primary race, which included avoiding newspaper and Democratic Party endorsements and using livestream events to solicit small-donor donations instead of begging big-time donors for cash. She also used that time to tell voters about her platform, which included universal health care, protections against price-gouging, more housing with federal incentives, climate action
— and removing lead pipes.
Abughazaleh said the campaign's framework for mutual aid - opening up her Rogers Park campaign office as a place for people to come for food, clothing and essential needs like baby formula — "was the No. 1 persuader to undecided voters."Chicago Sun Times article excerpt reads: 

Part of her post-election plans also include increasing free community-focused events at the Rogers Park campaign office at 7016 N. Clark St.
"By a long shot, people feel helpless and alone in the face of fascism, and the system is meant to make you feel that way. Authoritarians want you to feel paralyzed. They want you to keep doom scrolling. And instead, we came with a different offer," Abughazaleh said. "What if you join us for a park cleanup? What if you help us knit hats for people during a cold snap? What if you help us organize diapers for parents that need them?"

Photos from campaign events showcased, from knitting mutual aid items to organizing with the Sunrise Movement to park cleanup days.

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

A new investigation revealed that school districts and local governments are reportedly overpaying for supplies because of Amazon contracts that bind them to dynamic pricing. Rather than allow for competitive bidding, the deals “covertly raise prices and inflate costs for governments.”

This is about truth and justice—for victims and survivors. These subpoenaed photos from the Epstein estate are deeply disturbing and raise serious questions about who knew what, and when—which is exactly why the files need to be released. The Epstein Files Act is law. Trump can release them today.

If you’re looking for something to do, start working on overturning citizens united in your state. States control the power corporations have. Take their political power away with a ballot initiative. Here’s how: open.substack.com/pub/robertre...
