For the fabulously wealthy, paying taxes is pretty much optional. They can borrow against their vast wealth, which is mostly an untaxed capital gain, without paying taxes. When they die, the capital gain goes to zero. And loopholes exist to bypass the estate tax too.

EL-SAYED: I get that the President takes personal offense to my first name. He doesn't mind as much when it's the Saudis who are funding his son-in-law's private equity. Doesn't seem to mind as much when it's the Qataris who are giving them a $400 million private jet…

A would-be governor cannot run a state while picking which political donors to sue. Rick Jackson’s GloriFi mess is an extreme conflict. As former ethics czar, I told @nytimes.com: not in a million years would I allow this arrangement in government. -TN

Eight months in, the decision to go to war with Iran is looking like the worst presidential decision since the last Republican president blundered into a needless Middle East war.

We’ve allowed Trump et al to normalize this kind of cruelty and misogyny in politics. But now it must stop. This man must be pilloried and trounced on Election Day. Or these animals won’t stop. I still believe the people of Ohio will reject this cartoon villain.

Aside from being legally ridiculous, Trump's Alaska gambit is just dumb. Will only pump up Dems. But that is Trump -- a stupid autocrat, a lawless bumbler. Alaska voters can make that perfectly clear and defy attempts to take away their votes.

The pedophile protection party’s president is laundering right-wing conspiracy theories through the most corrupt DOJ in American history. Whenever the news turns bad, this creep reaches for one name: mine. So let’s make it crystal clear. My name has always been Ilhan Omar.

If your elderly relative routinely blew up at women and insulted them, grossly sexualized other men in public, regularly fell asleep in public mid-meeting repeatedly, and babbled incoherently you'd put him under care and not let him make important decisions.

It’s a strange strong nominal economic growth environment: -basically no free cash flow/shareholder returns from the biggest, most profitable companies leading the boom -not much money being returned to investors in PE funds -record-low housing transaction levels

I'm not kidding, the guy simply has to be at the very least deported at the end of this. If we're doing "he's not from here" shit, he is the most not from here guy alive. He needs jail or deportation the second it's viable to do it.

Yesterday, Trump ally Mark Zuckerberg tried to squelch the voice of the people. He failed. More than seven million people came out for No Kings rallies. Now we need to ensure that Trump, Musk, Zuckerberg, and other powerful authoritarians inside and outside the government, fail again on November 3.
