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.
Don’t mean to be an alarmist, but lately Trump has been showing signs of being exactly the person he’s always been.
The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.
Here's hoping Orban, Pooty & Chump ALL lose!!! 👎 👎 👎

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.

The amazing, letter-perfect performance of NASA this week is a ferocious rebuke to the right-wing fools who constantly tell us that for-profit businesses always do a job better than the government.
Notice how the most celebrated and successful space mission in *decades* was run by at least 50% “DEI hires”—not all white men? And not even all Americans. Maybe diversity *is* strength . . .
I hate when fantasy films I made a long time ago begin to come true in real life.
According to the Washington Post, Trump’s manipulation of the 2020 census may have cost the GOP as many as four congressional seats, which reminds me of that Mystery Science quote, “His enthusiasm for evil vastly exceeds his competence at it.” 🤣🤣🤣

KPU hired a new president in Sept. By January he was on confidential leave. By March, dismissed. Nobody heard from Bruce Choy, until now. Check out the last paragraph. The reason for his departure has never been announced, and I’m not convinced this is the full story. #bcpoli
The lawless criminal, and his family, all voted by mail.
So nice to have John Di Nino an ATU crew come over to say hi and chat.

Tweet by Acyn quoting Robert De Niro criticizing war, rising prices, deportations, and government violence, saying Americans did not vote for these outcomes. The image shows De Niro speaking in a studio interview setting.
De Niro has it right. The American people can agree on some things after all.
