Tim Cook donated $1M to Trumpโs inauguration.
He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions).
Apple donated to Trumpโs White House ballroom.
And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ.
Remember this.
A "Little Free Library" filled with only Merriam-Webster Dictionaries
Happy National Library Week to whoever did this.
Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history.
Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes.
But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 โ with more job cuts later this year.
Trickle down hoax.

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 โ and itโs all perfectly legal for them.
The system is rigged.

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.

And if/when the other guy gets 25d, we get this guy who will think himself to be brilliant along with Petey-Boy who I can hardly wait to see in front of a new Nuremberg at the Hague.
And if they 25 the one guy out as they should, we get the second guy who is equally pathetically certain he's the best!

As we await to see if the threats are carried out or TACO'd, I hope the Petey-Boy understands that he'll be the First in THE Dock along with every General who carries out those orders at the next inevitable iteration of Nuremberg.
I completely agree with Marjorie Taylor Greene is a sentence I never thought I would ever write.
Amazon reportedly failed to create any new jobs at its HQ2 in Virginia last year, despite millions of state tax incentives.
The company has cut 30,000 jobs since last October โ while saving $4 billion in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill.
Trickle-down economics is a hoax.
What is it about "Republic"ans who bend their knees to a would-be dictator propped up by an autocratic Heritage Foundation to destroy 250 years of this country's Democracy?
