Illegal immigrants have paid about $3 trillion in taxes over the last 30 years and likely reduced deficits by $1.7 trillion, says Cato’s David J. Bier.
Check out the data:

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.
I'm rewatching #Angel and it occurs to me that Jasmine is Trump. A corrupt liar, and a devourer with deluded, sycophantic followers, who pretends to be benevolent.
A gift article for you to read, if you're interested.

Listen to this story from Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, breaking the it down like no other.
Trump is extracting money from families’ budgets and pumping it to his fossil fuel donors.
Thank you Senator 👏👏👏
Yup.
They're all fucking pigs.
Trump has launched three more boat strikes this week, bringing the total death toll to 177.
Remember: No judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're taking Trump's word for it.
This is murder. We must not lose sight of this lawlessness.
Excellent. No pardon for him. 🤣
Does Blair Underwood have a painting in his closet? 🤔🤣I just saw him on #Doc. Damn, he is still fine at 61 and looks like he's 20 years younger.
Barrera said her husband said the smell of human feces in the toilet caused a fellow detainee to vomit and, in turn, created a chain of people vomiting. She said her husband is asthmatic and has not received medication to treat his condition. The lack of medicine and the stress of the overcrowded holding cell has left him short of breath and teetering on the edge of an asthma attack, Barrera said. ICE did not immediately respond to questions on April 10 about the conditions of the Mesa or Phoenix facilities. After the publication of this article, Barrera told The Arizona Republic her husband was transferred to the ICE facility at San Luis Regional Detention Center at about midnight. The San Luis Regional Detention Center is in Southwestern Arizona and has the capacity to hold 700 people.
This is horrific. A U.S. citizen describes the facility in Arizona that her husband was brought to while he waited to be put on a deportation flight. Dozens of people were crammed into tiny cells, there was a "chain of people vomiting" from filthy toilets, no medical care, and only one meal per day.
Amazon warehouse workers have been trying to unionize for years, largely in response to the corporation's well-documented unsafe working conditions.
But Amazon continues to squash organizing.
Every worker deserves to be safe on the job.
Trillions for war. Zero debate. But healthcare? Childcare? Public services? Suddenly we’re broke.
Trump and Republicans have made their choice — and it’s not you. 🔥

How do we get people to stop calling these ice facilities detention facilities. It is inaccurate. There is no oversight, people have been dying in them, and none of representatives are allowed in.

I would say yes, he is.
I love that! Thanks for sharing!
That is definitely John Cowan. I love him. I just saw him in concert tonight!
I fangirled out tonight! I went to see John Cowan in concert! His voice is as beautiful and as powerful as it was when I first heard it 30 plus years ago. And he signed his new CD for me! 🥰🥰🎶🎶
sounds like a lose-lose situation.
Viktor Orban losing means Trump and GOP will double down on trying to steal the 2026 election. They know a blue tsunami is coming. We must be even more vigilant in protecting the election!
Democrats in Congress are absolutely correct to withhold ICE funding. Serious hearings must follow.
..uncle & son, died from septic shock of a misdiagnosed abscess.
Maksym Chernak, 44, Ukrainian refugee who had committed no crime, died from a massive stroke accompanied by six seizures.
ICE & the private detention companies declined to talk with the Chronicle & ignored legal FOIA deadlines
🧵ICE has not just murdered people - in corporation run ICE detention facilities, 48 have died since Trump took office and many survivors have received negligent care.
This deep dive by the @sfchronicle.com will hurt your heart & enrage you.
39 yo Ismael Alaya-Uribe, car wash worker, beloved..
Opposition leader Péter Magyar at a rally.
Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise.
He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media.
The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.
So All I can glean from this is that Trump doesn't know the definition of the word win. "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
"It wasn’t about a danger to the public. It was just about locking up immigrants." Michael Kagan reveals the reality behind the regime's failed detention policy and the legal victory that is finally letting families exhale. Full story here:
