All of Us Should Be Able To Agree With This…..
A history of the top marginal tax rates on the wealthiest Americans:
1940: 81%
1950: 84%
1960: 91%
1970: 72%
1980: 70%
1990: 28%
2000: 40%
2010: 35%
For 50 years, corporate backed politicians in Congress have slashed taxes to line the pockets of their wealthy donors.
Yes, #nzpol.
Our supposedly "business smart" coalition of clowns missed the entire point of energy independence in its perverse reaction to the "woke" science of climate change.
Spain invested heavily in clean energy over the last 6 years. Now, as gas prices rise, Spain has some of the lowest electricity costs on the continent.
In August 2025, Spain used zero coal — just 10 years ago it powered 25% of the country.
This is what energy independence actually looks like. 🌎

Apparently not.
The previous Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff would've stopped this, but Trump fired him.

Turns out EYES WIDE SHUT (1999) is a true story. Not idle speculation or merely Kubrickian paranoia. That movie is about the catastrophic damage that happens when one merely 'brushes up against' the powerful. It's a terrible and ugly truth and we must face it collectively and courageously.
Warner: The president said he was shocked that the Iranians had moved to take over the strait of hormuz.
Gabbard: I’m not aware of those remarks
Warner: What about when he said he was surprised that Iran struck the adjacent gulf states.
Gabbard: I’m not aware of those remarks
“This is one of the most grotesque crimes of our time.”
I don’t think Rand is voting to confirm Markwayne.
KING: Can you update us on Russian intel sharing w/ Iran?
GABBARD: That answer would be for a closed session
K: But is it occurring?
G: What I can say is according to the Dept of War, any support Iran is receiving is not inhibiting operational effects
K: That's the first cousin of 'yes,' I guess
In Markwayne’s defense, how is an idiot supposed to know that consensual dueling was outlawed 170 years ago?
MARKWAYNE MULLIN: Dueling with two consenting adults is still there
RAND PAUL: It's been illegal for 170 years! There's no precedent for legal dueling
JB Pritzker is officially the Democratic nominee for Governor of Illinois!
A prominent pro-Kremlin commentator, Ilya Remeslo, has publicly turned on Vladimir Putin, calling him a “war criminal and thief” and denouncing the war in Ukraine as a “dead end,” in a dramatic reversal from his years of staunch support.
And he's the President.
We’ve gone from ‘Dumb to Dumber’ to head our Department of Homeland Security. What a disgrace.

This is hilarious.
Also, completely enraging.
A cartoon by Ron Cobb (1975), showing a shadow of US B-52 bomber above cratered landscape. Two people who look like Vietnamese peasants look up; one says “they’re having problems with their economy again.”
This is from 1975.
The bill does not address election integrity.
It doesn't even look at the people wrecking it.
It doesn't offer any defence against Elon or Putin.
It attacks every registered voter who might have difficulty getting to a polling booth, even though a mail-in vote is NOT anonymous and can be checked.
Imagine a world where Americans were smarter and didn’t applaud when reactionary idiot Ronald Reagan made a show out of removing the solar panels Jimmy Carter had installed on the White House. We wouldn’t now have to worry about affording to fill gas tanks next month.

Spain MEP Irene Montero: “Send your son, Donald Trump — If you want war, send your own people to the front line. We in Spain want our children, our daughters, & our loved ones at home, safe. We don’t want war — those who want war should send their own children”
PEOPLE OF GOTHAM, OUR CITY IS UNDER ATTACK. NOT BY CRIMINALS OR OUTLAWS, BUT BY ITS OWN LEADERS. LEADERS WHO'VE SOLD GOTHAM OUT TO LINE THEIR OWN POCKETS.
