I wonder if any prominent media figure will take note of the differing ways the two parties handle scandals like Swalwell's. Seems significant.
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.
Sorry... you are telling me that during the run-up to the 2020 presidential election the Trump FBI hid the fact that it was actively investigating sitting president Trump for Child Rape?
Because that would appear to be what happened, and it appears also that the death of Epstein ended that probe...
SCOTUS hears arguments to overturn Birthright Citizenship. If it breaks with precedent, so many children will be stripped of the right to live in the only country they have ever known.

193 million acres of your national forests. An area larger than Texas. The largest public land agency in the country. Just handed, on a silver platter, to the people who’ve spent their entire careers trying to destroy it.

Republicans are to blame for long TSA lines.
I'm confused how an American president can reduce sanctions on two countries currently killing American citizens and others and remain in office.
Perhaps 'treason' means something different in the US?
Iran has 600,000 soldiers and 350,000 to 5 million reserves.
5,000 Iranian soldiers have been killed in the Second Iran War, and 15,000 injured...
...leaving just *580,000 to 5.58 million armed Iranian combatants* lying in wait for the ground invasion Trump is about to launch.

About 70% of the U.S. economy runs on consumer spending.
But as wealth concentrates at the top, the richest 10% can’t spend enough to sustain it — while everyone else can’t afford to.
Reminder that trickle-down economics simply doesn’t make sense. It’s a hoax.

America first is letting foreign companies come into the US to mine copper?
Hassett: "If the war were to be extended, it wouldn't really disrupt the US economy very much at all. It would hurt consumers, and we'd have to think about what we'd have to do about that, but that's really the last of our concerns right now."
If Trump doesn't like your coverage of the war, his FCC will pull your broadcast license.
That is flagrantly unconstitutional.
