🔥SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “Ivanka’s husband Jared Kushner’s on the Saudi payroll for $2 BILLION— as he leads 🇺🇸 diplomacy + asks sheikhs for billions more… Never have we seen so little effort to hide so much corruption. The Mar-a-Lago mafia taking corruption to spectacular new heights.”
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.
What is humanism? Humanism is a non-religious approach to life, centred on living a meaningful, ethical life based on reason and compassion. Humanists see the universe as a natural phenomenon with no supernatural side, and look to science to answer questions about the natural world. Humanists believe this life is the only life we have, so they focus living well in the here and now, guided by empathy and our shared humanity.
Throughout recorded history there have been non-religious people who have believed that this life is the only life we have, that the universe is a natural phenomenon with no supernatural side, and that we can live ethical and fulfilling lives on the basis of reason and humanity.
So
Happy
It's
Thursday
Pam Bondi has now reportedly been fired as Attorney General - good riddance. We must continue to be loud and hold other corrupt and incompetent administration officials accountable as well.
Can she still be compelled to appear before the house committee to explain her actions as AG?

(archive document) Memorandum of Disapproval I have today vetoed H.R. 11897, a bill which would name the United States Courthouse and Federal Office Building in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the "President Gerald R. Ford Federal Office Building." Although I appreciate the honor expressed by the Congress in enacting this legislation, I intend to continue the policy of past Administrations that the executive branch not endorse the naming of Federal office buildings. Generally, the executive branch has deferred to the desires of the Congress on such matters. Although several Federal office buildings have been named for incumbent members of the Congress, I know of none that have been named for a President while still in office. I consider it improper for me as an incumbent President to approve legislation which places my name on a Federal building. This is a precedent I do not wish to establish. In general, I feel this way: office buildings which house the functions of Government should not be used as monuments to Federal officials, but rather as workshops for the people's business. In particular, I would hope our Presidents will be remembered for their labors in building better Government rather than for their efforts in constructing public works projects to themselves.
Gerald Ford vetoed naming a post office after himself.
Stephen Miller is like the sinister puppeteer behind the scenes, reminiscent of Goebbels in the Trump saga. 😈
Really enjoyed walking in the Kansas City #NoKings protest march. My sign said "Fallen Troops are not Props". It was very therapeutic and everyone was so kind. My wife and I handed out 160 bottles of water to protesters with our wagon and got a little sunburnt for it – totally worth it.
TOMORROW: Be a part of history! Show the world that the majority of Americans oppose the most corrupt, inept, criminal, orange "president" in U.S. History.
NO KINGS. Also: NO SERIAL LIARS/CONVICTED FELONS/ADJUDICATED RAPISTS & NO ILLEGAL WAR IN IRAN
Be there. Make your voices heard! 🇺🇸 ✊

The cost of your flight went up because you searched for it twice. Your rideshare costs more because your phone battery is dying.
This is surveillance pricing – corporations using your own data and behaviors against you.
In the US Senate, I’ve got plan to ban it.
“That just doesn’t make sense to me — when the richest people have the smallest effective tax rate, that does not seem like a very fair system.” #LiftTheCap
Natalie mentioned that she'd like a Nec pillow, so...
Probably because I'm hungry, part of me still hopes this isn't satire and we'll eventually get to see pics of something like curry or shawarma folded in pita or naan.
Either way, I was entertained.
“I strongly dislike the notion that if things get absolutely rotten here, we can run away to somewhere else. I think it’s a silly idea on economic and on moral grounds. Nevertheless, it’s true, in my opinion, that the maturity of the human species will be connected with our ability to leave the earth, our mother, and seek our fortune in the galaxy… but not to abandon the earth, by any means. If we don’t put our house in order, we'll never be able to explore the cosmos.” — Carl Sagan
When Trump blows off a reporter's question and asks rudely "who are you with"
, they should all reply:
1st. I am with the American people and their right to know the truth and the facts.
2nd. I'm with the 1st Amendment and the free press.
3rd. Who I work with shouldn't matter.
Ossoff: "The American people need to know that the president is fundraising for his political campaign and his PAC using images of American service members killed in action, and it's a disgrace"
Maddow: How is Jared Kushner's role in the U.S. attacking Iran not more of a show-stopping scandal?
Pete Hegseth during a press conference incorporating an unnecessary hand gesture that resembles a nazi salute
If it looks like a duck...
The Pentagon is worried about unflattering photos? Really?
Like 4 days ago when Pete incorporated the nazi salute into his rant about US policing the globe?
The solution isn't banning cameras, its removing the nazis.

Also known as "using insider knowledge for war profiteering."
President Eisenhower eroded the separation of church and state laid the groundwork for the rise of MAGA propaganda. Seems pretty colossal in significance and relevance today, but I respect your contempt for the orange menace.
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Kristi Noem.
Welcome to Jim Bakker's School for Scoundels.
Keep performing these stunts in front of desperate people seeking truth from their televisions and you'll get away with anything.
Alas, smart folks armed with facts can see through the charade, so Trump should probably defund the Dept of Education... 🤦♂️
Every #atheist I know lives by a code of ethics and possesses a strong sense of morality – a belief in humanity, as it were.
Unfortunately, we fail to define our collective good nature without a reference – albiet negative – to religion.
#Humanism seems to solve that reference issue. I like that.
Hopefully.
