Rachel Maddow just played this video of Jon Ossoff talking about Trump crime family grifter Jared Kushner. Ossoff is Maddow's guest tonight. 🙌💪👏✊️👇

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates.

Yes: While you paid your taxes in full, giant corporations maneuvered to pay as little as possible — and it’s all perfectly legal for them.

The system is rigged.

Listen, every single one of us deserves a fair shot. 👋
TOMORROW, April 21, 6am–7pm, we make sure that’s real. Vote YES to end the map games.

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations:

Alphabet: 8.01%
AT&T: 4.6%
Meta: 3.57%
General Motors: 3.09%
Amazon: 1.37%
Exxon Mobil: 1.31%
Disney: -1.57%
CVS Health: -3.88%

Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5%

This is what a rigged system looks like.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

55 yrs ago this week, 4/17/71, all 4 former Beatles had solo singles in the UK charts:

Paul McCartney: "Another Day,"
Ringo Starr: "It Don’t Come Easy"
John Lennon: "Power To The People"
George Harrison: "My Sweet Lord"

All 4 songs still sound great, 55 yrs later.
Play 'em loud.

I need a break….

We Deserve Better Than This….

Fossil Fuels Are Not The Future….

BREAKING: Senate Republicans blocked my War Powers Resolution that would have ended Trump's unnecessary, unjustified war against Iran.

These cowards have had four chances to stop this chaos in the Middle East.

And they put Trump's ego before America.

Every damn time.

Why do we have lawmakers in Congress who are willing to hold fellow members of Congress accountable for sexual assault but not a President?

$30m an hour: big oil reaping huge war windfall from consumers, analysis finds Exclusive: Climate action blockers including Saudi Arabia, Russia and major fossil fuel firms set to make extra $234bn b

While death and destruction rained down on Iran during the war’s first month, the world’s 100 biggest oil and gas companies brought in an extra $30 million per HOUR in windfall profits.

Yes, $30 million per HOUR.

All because of the deadly and reckless decision making of one man.

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

I would be totally ok with the USA taking away the pardon power from presidents if there are no guidelines being followed or review process for them…

NEW: Republicans (and Fetterman) just BLOCKED a war powers resolution in the Senate. Rand Paul voted with all Democrats. Senate Republicans (and Fetterman) are now on record in support of this illegal war.

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.

Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars

The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.

Why aren't we doing this?

Every time they say they’re the party of law & order, that they’re pro-law enforcement, that DOJ is taking violent criminals off the streets & Democrats are pro-criminal, remember this. It’s all a sham; a mob-style loyalty exercise.

April is Medicaid Awareness Month, but Trump and congressional Republicans cut $1 TRILLION from Medicaid to fund tax cuts for the rich.

Real families are losing coverage. Kids, seniors and disabled Americans are paying the price.

Health care saves lives — NOT Trump’s war!

The American president counts Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-Un as his friends while denouncing the Pope.
