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.

Trump is using the government’s power to take ownership in private companies. It’s what Putin did. Trump is the closest we’ve ever come to communism.

"This is not just the most corrupt presidency in American history, it is among the most corrupt regimes on earth."

If you were wondering whether the President’s weekend bender helped or hurt the long-term interest of American business, futures markets just opened, and delivered their verdict.

Tennis players and tennis fans with a conscience should boycott Indian Wells tennis tournament which is owned by Larry Ellison who is a mega MAGA donor, Paramount/CBS whitewasher and tik tok censor.

At least, this moment in time is instructive as to which of our friends, neighbors and family members would have been NAZI collaborators or silent bystanders www.newsweek.com/trump-approv...

Chris Murphy is on point here and sounding the alarm. They're going for martial law.

Kristie Noem telling us not to believe our eyes.

@fetterman.senate.gov your view on Greenland is astonishingly uninformed. The US has abandoned multiple military bases in Greenland. If Trump wants it, he believes that there is oil there.

So when we invade Greenland (i.e. attack Denmark) we will be declaring war on NATO

Trump is wagging the dog. Life imitating art imitating life. Investigate the Epstein coverup.

Festivus came early for Trump last night.

If this is how Jack treats a proud Navy veteran, imagine what he would do to you. Watch:

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons. Watch and share his message.

"A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people." —The Declaration of Independence

Mural of Statue of Liberty in shame unveiled in France the day before 4th of July

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Question: Will the next mainstream media interviewer of Trump ask about this blatant lie in the Oval Office? Or will they say ‘let’s agree to disagree’ and try and move on, a la ABC’s Terry Moran?

Masked ICE agents act like Trump’s secret police

It’s inconceivable to me that Laura Loomer is now in charge of foreign policy and national security and the Republicans are just going along for the ride.

For the people who keep saying that we are on the verge of a Constitutional crisis, do they realize that the crisis is in our rear view mirror?

Been thinking of old Letterman clips for some reason.

The stock market starts to go back down after the announcement of the 90 day tariff pause. I suspect that this is because there was hope to remove the tariffs rather than lowering them to 10%. We also have the China tariff skyrocketing.

"We are going to have a crash, and we're going to have a crash like a 1929 crash if she gets in," Trump said I guess he needs to work on his pronouns

Imagine destroying the economy just to own the libs. MAGA showed us.

The end never justifies the means

ICYMI: “Arlington National Cemetery has scrubbed information about prominent Black, Hispanic and female service members and topics such as the Civil War from its website”…in order “to remove all references to diversity, equity and inclusion from its online presence.”

Democratic Leaders Stand Real Still In Hopes No One Notices Them

@msnbc.com tried watching @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social this morning. Just more Trump talking points. On a story about Trump’s targeting a law firm, Mika refers to the Steele Dossier as discredited. While some of the assertions are unsubstantiated, the fact of Russian election interference is true

Moscow’s man.

The putrid connections between great wealth and great power are now on display for all to see. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/feb/27/america-billionaires-bezos-zuckerberg-musk

The accuracy of the political cartoons recently is incredibly painful.

I’ve never been so ashamed of our country as I am today. Trump and Vance totally disgraceful.

As people (rightly so) are outraged at RFK Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, and Kash Patel, Elon Musk is moving to take over.

@booker.senate.gov it’s time to get in the game. Any more Trump confirmations and you’ll be complicit in the move to an authoritarian state.

I will not give into the lies. I will not give into the fear.

To be Progressive takes courage. To confront the present and to endeavor to shape the future is bold. Conservatism is an ideology of the weak. It is rooted in fear and takes it solace in an imaginary past and fairytales. The faux swagger of the Right is a sad joke.
