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.
...maybe - just maybe - he's actually the worst president in history
If the President or Congress can take away freedom at the stroke of a pen ... how much freedom does the Constitution really give the American people as an inalienable right ... when it can be taken away so easily
We need to protect freedom of all Citizens ... or we never had it to begin with !!!
Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.
You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.
you know it'd be really nice if the media started reporting on the fact that the president is genuinely out of his goddamn mind and is holding the world in a hostage situation about it
WHERE THE FUCK IS CONGRESS??????!!!!!
SICK OF THESE BILLIONAIRES AND PEDOPHILES ITS TIME TO PULL THE ENTIRE ADMIN. INCLUDING JOHNSON NOW.
Congress is completely useless at this point.
wish his cult weren’t too dumb to realize they voted for the dumbest of ‘em all.
As the Pentagon purges some minorities and women from high-ranking positions, the message being sent to lower-ranking officers is that “they will be assessed on the basis of their gender, race, or politics, rather than their abilities,” Adam Serwer writes:
Emergency Session of Congress RIGHT NOW. Fuck Mike Johnson. He doesn’t have to be there for there to be an emergency session. That’s the entire point. It’s an EMERGENCY. 🚨
May I suggest that Congress takes the two weeks TO GET THE FUCKER OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE
This take is accurate. Listen to the ABC News interview of Trump by Jonathan Karl this morning. It quickly becomes evident that Trump doesn't actually know the terms of the ceasefire deal he agreed to. He's not a negotiator. He's a buffoon.
Just because a President announces he’s agreed to a two week ceasefire moments before he threatened to commit war crimes, does not mean he is suddenly fit to serve. #25thAmendment
A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustn’t let this war do so.
Pretty obvious.
All of Us Should Be Able To Agree With This…..
"If you want an argument for throwing Republicans out of power, it’s that they wouldn’t even [have stopped] Trump from committing genocide. That’s what toadies they are."
On the pod, @jenrubin.bsky.social is so good on the need to keep the focus on Trump's unfitness:

In an age of creeping relativism, a universal moral law still exists.
Threatening to end an entire civilization of 90 million people in order to bend a nation’s conduct to your will is grossly morally wrong. It is evil. And we should say this loudly.
So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?
One man put us in this deadly quagmire. One man is wrecking our economy. One man’s immigration agents have terrorized our communities. One man has ridden roughshod over our system of government.
We said "No Kings" 250 years ago. Congress must say "No Kings" today.
If not, they must be replaced.

We need more civil disobedience, please.
ICYMI: Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari introduced Articles of Impeachment against Pete Hegseth.
Garry Kasparov: "Trump's character, corruption, and cognitive trajectory were well-established. You could sooner criticize the scorpion for stinging. But the Republicans who ignored it, enabled him, and are, even now, still his sycophants deserve all condemnation and removal from public life."
After his crazy unhinged Easter message I think it’s clear who trump is…..
This man is still serving in Congress with the support of Mike Johnson.
That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress beforehand, or our allies, or coherently explain to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.
Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.
"It’s not alarmism, it’s sober realism, to doubt that we can make it safely through the next thirty-three months without considering measures like these."
Stephen Miller wanted to win a “PR battle; and repeatedly said that demonstrators “need to be vanquished by any force necessary,” and claimed that Pretti was an “assassin” when he was simply filming agents while exercising his Second Amendment right.
