Reports indicate Elon Musk controls a secretive network of over 90 companies and entities so he can hide how he spends his money.
No wonder he wanted the Trump admin to “look into” the Corporate Transparency Act, which would have regulated those companies.
Amen to that.
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 — with more job cuts later this year.
Trickle down hoax.
Reminder: The Trump regime cancelled nearly $500 million in federal contracts for mRNA vaccine development last year.

DOJ demanded voter files from all 50 states.
DOJ sued 31 states for refusing their demand.
My law firm intervened to protect voters in those cases.
DOJ is now 0-5.
My firm is 5-0.

"What happened in Hungary is that Magyar, who's now going to be the prime minister, went out in the country and basically explained how the corruption and criminality affected people in their everyday lives. And that's what's happening here."
Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October.
Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year.
Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce.
Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.
Kaine: "You don't sucker punch somebody in a bar and then blame your buddies when they don't join the fight with you. If the president wanted the support of allies, he should've respected them instead of putting tariffs on their economies and trash talking them."
The end of Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime is a victory not just for Hungary, but for people who value democracy around the world. Congratulations to Tisza, to incoming leader Péter Magyar, and to Hungarians everywhere.

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.
Good news for today

Trump's speech on Iran "was perhaps the clearest evidence yet that the leader of the world’s predominant superpower is an utterly chaotic thinker, whose aptitude for his job—never obvious to begin with—appears to be in accelerating decline."

Orbán's false flag should remind us that other people in similar situations (I mean Trump) will have similar thoughts. See my essay from yesterday on "The Next Coup Attempt." (2/2)

❗️At pre-election rallies in 🇭🇺Hungary, the crowd began chanting: "Russians — go home!"
The historic slogan "Ruszkik haza" emerged during the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and was directed against the Soviet occupation.
