Ultra-wealthy donors are spending a staggering $430 million to fight state efforts to raise their taxes. If they can afford to drop millions of dollars to keep their taxes low, they can afford to pay slightly higher taxes. They’re making the case for taxing the rich better than anyone else could.

They should all be doing this because they know that he's a prolific liar and a con man with absolute bad intentions toward this country. If they don't, then they're complicit.

Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!

If a politician takes money from weapons manufacturers, don't be surprised when they back weapons contracts. If a politician takes money from Big Pharma, don't be surprised when they try to stop guaranteed healthcare. That's why I don't take ANY corporate money. None.

The little dog on the right refused the treat he was offered—not because he didn't want to eat it, but because he wanted his blind friend to be fed first. He waited patiently until his companion had finished, and only then did he accept his own little piece. Original post

A litter of Doberman puppies turned out to be the best remedy for a German Shepherd going through a very difficult time. She was put in charge of looking after them, and little by little, the little ones brought back her joy. Original post

Microsoft has laid off over 5,000 workers since July. Its CEO made $96.5M in 2025, a 22% increase from the previous year. Microsoft made $101B in net income last year — and raked in up to $12.5B in tax breaks from Trump's Big Ugly Bill. This is what a rigged system looks like.

The vicious and corrupt cycle of monopolization: 1) Corporations argue that their growth is just part of the free market. 2) Use their monopoly power to price gouge consumers and shaft workers. 3) Use profits to make political donations. 4) Lobby against antitrust enforcement. 5) Repeat.

Fire stations are paying more and waiting longer for new trucks. Why? A few big corporations bought up the fire truck industry and jacked up costs. That's not right. Corporate greed can't come before public safety.

CEO pay is up 1,316% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 28%. CEOs are now paid 325 TIMES as much as the typical worker in their industry, according to @epi.org Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years: Tax cuts for the rich ...don’t trickle down Boosting military spending ...doesn’t bring peace Slashing regulations ...doesn’t create jobs Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

Don't confuse "wealth" with "super-wealth". The wealthy already pay their fair share because their wealth generally comes from earnings. But the super-wealthy pay nothing because they earn very little on paper. They instead make money with their money — which isn't taxed because we only tax earnings
